Planning your visit

Questions people ask

What is the minimum age to drive at Parkwood Karting?

Junior and family sessions require drivers to be at least 8 years old; the site doesn't list a separate minimum age for adult sessions.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

Sessions run rain or shine, though wet track lap times tend to be slower than dry ones. Deposits are only refunded if conditions are severe enough to force a cancellation that can't be rearranged.

Do I need to bring my own helmet or racewear?

No, all the protective gear you need, including balaclavas, is supplied as part of the price with no extra charge.

How early should I arrive before my race?

You should plan to get there half an hour before your booked start time.

Is there a minimum group size for team events?

Yes, the endurance/team events need a set number of teams to go ahead - five teams for the 1.5-hour event and six for the 2-hour event - with total driver numbers ranging roughly from 10 to 32 depending on which package you pick.

Can people who aren't racing come to watch?

Yes, there's a heated viewing area right by the track, complete with a log fire, so spectators can watch in comfort.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard timed sessions run for around 20 to 25 minutes, with pricing varying depending on which day you book.

Is the karting held indoors or outdoors?

It's entirely outdoors, on a floodlit tarmac circuit that operates for both day and night racing.
