14 circuits in East of England, compared on the things that actually differ: what a session costs per minute, how long the track is, and how young drivers can be.

Ellough Park near Beccles bills itself as East Anglia's premier outdoor kart circuit and has been running for over twenty years. It uses 390cc Sodi SR5 karts, the same machinery raced in the Sodi World Series, with an adjustable pedal system that alters both distance and height.
Kimbolton, Cambridgeshire
Hunts Kart Racing Club races at Kimbolton, on a former Second World War bomber airfield near Stow Longa in Cambridgeshire. Founded in 1959 and affiliated to Motorsport UK, it is a club circuit for owner drivers rather than a hire-kart venue.

Cost per minute is calculated the same way everywhere: session price divided by minutes on track. Where a track sells sessions in bundles we show its best rate, since booking more up front is usually cheaper. Compulsory extras are listed on each track's own page.
The youngest age accepted anywhere in East of England is 3 , at 3 of the 14 tracks. Height matters as much as age — most circuits also set a minimum of 130cm or 140cm, and a child who meets the age but not the height will be turned away at the gate. Each listing shows both.
