Getting involved

For those who want a more real experience, head to hall four and meet with the folks from Teesside Karting.

They will give visitors the chance to get behind the wheel themselves, and they will be operating alongside the Ginetta Thrill Rides.

For more ways to test your mettle, visit the Experience Zone, which will play host to all the latest in race simulators for wannabe racers to show off to their mates.

In the other main show halls, there will be a dedicated karting area, with a display from the organisers of the Super One Series. That will sit alongside other trade and karting stands offering hopefuls everything they need to get started in the sport.
