Kids Frequently Asked Questions.
Q. Is it Safe?
A) YES, it is. As long as drivers listen to what they are instructed to do, then they'll be fine. Our karts are fitted with a remote control speed system, which enables us to slow the karts down or turn them off at the flick of a switch. Any driver who we think will cause danger to themselves, or to others will not be allowed to drive.
Q. My child is nearly eight years old - can they race?
A) NO for insurance reasons each child must be over 8 years of age.
