2 circuits in Gloucestershire, compared on the things that actually differ: what a session costs per minute, how long the track is, and how young drivers can be.
Gloucester, Gloucestershire
JDR Karting is an indoor karting and activity centre on the Madleaze Trading Estate off Bristol Road in Gloucester, a few minutes' walk from Gloucester Quays. The main circuit is a 300-metre tarmac track with three banked corners, where laps take around 25 seconds. Senior drivers use Sodi SR4 karts with Honda 200cc engines.
Little Rissington, Gloucestershire
Rissington Kart Club races on an outdoor circuit at the former RAF Little Rissington airfield in the Cotswolds, reached by a lane between Upper Rissington and Great Barrington. It is a Motorsport UK recognised club for owner-drivers, with no hire karts.

The youngest age accepted anywhere in Gloucestershire is 4 , at JDR Karting and Lasertag. 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.
