3 circuits in Leicestershire, compared on the things that actually differ: what a session costs per minute, how long the track is, and how young drivers can be.
Upper Broughton, Leicestershire
Nottingham Raceway is a 550-metre outdoor kart track at Upper Broughton in Leicestershire, just off the A46 and around 25 minutes from both Nottingham and Leicester. The circuit is wide enough to overtake properly, which is the main thing separating it from the indoor tracks in either city.

Leicester, Leicestershire
Stretton Circuit is a 950 metre outdoor track in rolling countryside on the edge of Leicester, built and extended over the years rather than laid out in one go. It weaves around banks, trees and buildings, with high and low speed corners, chicanes and hairpins, grass run-off, raised kerbs and tyre walls either side.
Sutton in the Elms, Leicestershire
Sutton Circuit is an outdoor hire-kart track on Sutton Lane at Sutton in the Elms, on the edge of Broughton Astley in south Leicestershire, a short drive from Leicester, Lutterworth and the M1/M69.
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 Leicestershire is 8 , at 2 of the 3 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.
