4 circuits in Lincolnshire run team building events. The appeal is that karting is a genuine leveller — seniority stops mattering the moment the lights go out.
Grantham, Lincolnshire
Ancaster Leisure is an outdoor multi-activity site at Wood Lodge near Ancaster, north-east of Grantham, where karting sits alongside paintball, airsoft, archery and laser tag. Its outdoor track can be run as a 1,200m International circuit, a 700m Brooklands layout or a 600m Club circuit, with a separate junior circuit and a small electric track for young children.
Skegness, Lincolnshire
Kartworld Extreme Leisure is an outdoor kart circuit at Croft, on the southern edge of Skegness on the Lincolnshire coast. It runs petrol hire karts for the public, with adult drivers using OTK karts fitted with Honda GX270 engines.
Brandon, Grantham, Lincolnshire
PF International near Grantham is the longest circuit in this directory at 1,382 metres, and the only kart track in the UK holding a CIK-FIA International A Grade licence, which it achieved in 2011. Paul Fletcher established it in 1994 and it has been extended since.

Gainsborough, Lincolnshire
Race Kart Centre is an outdoor kart track on Kirton Road at Blyton, near Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. It runs hire karts for children and adults as well as open days for people with their own karts.
Price not published
Session price divided by minutes on track, calculated the same way everywhere. Group event pricing differs, so treat this as a guide to relative value.
The thing that catches groups out. Below the minimum you either pay for absent drivers or book an open session instead.
Drivers share a kart and swap over across an hour or more. Far better for building a team than everyone racing individually, and often cheaper per head because it is priced per kart.
Most operators take card on the day. Fewer will invoice a company on thirty days, and it is worth asking before you commit.
Meeting or dining space on site turns half a day into a full one and saves moving everybody twice.
Height, weight or medical limits will rule someone out. Sites with a simulator or a second activity handle that gracefully.
