What happens on the day?
On arrival at your chosen location, most centres will ask you to sign an indemnity before you receive a full safety briefing and helmet. You’ll then make yourself aware of your chosen centre’s particular flag and light signals, to ensure you know when to go and when to stop. These usually follow international motorsport standards. Most centres use single-engine karts, while a few have twin-engine pro-karts. For more information about the karts available, please enquire with your chosen centre at the time of booking.
Once fully briefed, it’s time to get seated in your kart for your exhilarating ride on the purpose built track. Please note the format of your experience will vary by location.

Chasing the Podium in Chatham
I went to Buckmore Park in Kent which turned out to be an excellent little track, thoroughly recommended. The voucher gave 30 minutes of timed laps, in my case with 8 other karts.

Good time
Good time by all with 3 others . It was a shame about the problems I had organising the event due to the ignorance and training of your staff. Also partly due to Covid. Originally gifted for fire engine drive. It took 9 months to organise.

Amber virgin vouchers are rubbish
It was my first time go karting and I absolutely loved it. The Liverpool track was great fun and that's the first time I've drifted a vehicle too haha. Staff were exfremely helpful and the voucher were easy yo use. However I was a bit dissatisfied with the choices of locations available (there's only Teesside in the North East and they are absolutely useless on the phone so i didnt dare go there) ! I wouldnt buy through virgin again - just go direct.

Go Karting fab facilities bad
My son had this experience for his 15th birthday with two friends. He enjoyed the experience, but the facilities weren't great. Short staffed in the cafe. The receptionist had to help out with very long hair not tied back. I'm disabled and the disabled toilet not available or working. I asked. The mens toilets didn't have water to wash hands. Grown men were walking round with soap on their hands asking to use alternative sinks.
