LIGHTS OUT

Daytona Motorsport­s boasts the UK’s premier kart racing venues, perfect for high-octane corporate events, unforgetta­ble parties, or just for racing your mates

-

There’s nothing quite like that feeling when you strap in, slide the visor down and lock your eyes on the tarmac stretching in front of you. Let’s face it, unless you lead a very lucky life, you don’t get to hoon around, smoking the tyres with the ultimate goal of unbridled speed very often, and Daytona’s circuits are the ideal place to channel your inner Lewis Hamilton.

Daytona Motorsport has circuits in Milton Keynes, Sandown Park and Tamworth, and its zippy two-stroke DMAX karts make the perfect chariot in which petrolhead­s can experience top-level kart racing. There is an enticing range of different events you can participat­e in, including Arrive&Drive – a timed session that allows you keep pushing for that fastest lap – as well as Open Races and Championsh­ips that comprise full qualifying sessions and a winner-takes-all race for the chance to step atop the podium.

The circuits themselves offer a thrilling challenge all the way round.

It all began at 1,200m-long Milton Keynes. This enticing blend of tight hairpins and fast straights make it the UK’s ultimate outdoor kart track, and the floodlight­s allow it to stay open right up to 10pm. Sandown Park and Tamworth make for similarly thrilling outdoor experience­s – they aren’t your usual indoor circuits, that’s for sure!

If you want to give your clients an adrenaline-packed day away from the office, or are planning the mother of all birthday parties, or even a stag do, there’s nowhere better in the country to indulge your need for speed than at one of Daytona’s circuits.
