Availability: Weekdays, at least four times a year during school holidays. Weather: Racing might be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (i.e. ice or snow) which would make driving dangerous. Contact will be made if the experience is cancelled. Unused laps will be credited for another visit. Duration: Consists of a 20 minute driving session and a high-speed passenger ride over ten laps of the track. Have a break if you like, but both elements MUST be used on the same day. Numbers On Day: There'll be a maximum of ten drivers on the circuit at any one time. There will be other people at the circuit taking part in other activities. Spectators: Spectators are welcome. The venue has state-of-the-art clubhouse facilities serving hot and cold food and offering excellent viewing areas. Dress Code: Wear trainers or similar flat shoes. A clean helmet, balaclava, competition-style race suit, gloves and rib protectors will be provided. Guidelines: From London, take A2/M2 to M2 junction 3 and keep left on the ramp. At roundabout take third exit onto A229 and next roundabout the second exit. Then you will see signs for Buckmore Park. Alternatively, from the M20, exit junction 6 and proceed up Bluebell Hill. At the top, exit left and keep to left lane. At lights take the first exit left. The nearest train station is Chatham and the nearest airport is Rochester. Restrictions: Minimum age is 8, maximum age is 11. Minimum height is 4'2''. All participants must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Other Info: At busy times please be patient whilst awaiting a turn on the circuit.

Start by receiving a safety briefing and then let that competitive streak loose with a 20 minute session on the 300 metre club circuit. Be behind the wheel of a petrol kart which reaches speeds of up to 20 mph (and believe us, that will feel twice as fast in a kart). After a break to catch a breath, see how the professionals do it with a mind- blowing ten lap high-speed passenger ride on the circuit in a 40 mph twin seated kart.
