Your safety is of paramount importance to us. For any situation other than the norm we would conduct a risk assessment. We would ask the following questions to help us to do this:
Do all drivers have full use of limbs/bodily functions? Can all drivers understand, comprehend and follow instruction? Can all drivers get themselves in and out of the kart unaided ? Are all drivers able to hold a full UK driving licence once they are old enough? Can the driver be left un attended? If the answer to any of these questions is no then unfortunately karting is not a suitable sport for the driver to partake in.
We would also ask if there is a risk of seizures or fits from any drivers, or if they have any medical condition that would prevent them from driving on the main road? If there is risk of seizure or any medical condition that would prevent them from driving on the main road then again unfortunately karting is not a suitable sport.
The go karts can reach speeds of up to 30mph (junior) or 40mph (adult) and once the kart has left the pits the driver has sole responsibility for the kart so must be able to fully comprehend the instruction given.
If we can be sure that you pose no added danger to yourself, other drivers or members of staff, then we will allow you to drive (there may still be some limitations). However, you are often the best judge of your own capabilities – please be honest and responsible. Please consult a manager.
When should I arrive at the circuit?
You will be given an arrival time when booking. Please ensure you are not late as if you arrive after this time even by 5 minutes this may affect your time on the circuit or in the arena. If you are more than 10/15 minutes late you may lose your slot altogether. If you are late, you will not receive a refund under any circumstance.
