BREAKING NEWS... Lakeside Karting wins prestigious 2024 International Rental Karting Award for Best Customer Experience
"Great experience, within 45 minutes we were racing"
Dave Wenner, North London.
900 metres long... ten challenging corners... three full blast straights... two daunting hairpins.. it all adds up to the fastest, most demanding outdoor go karting track in the county. In our class leading 390cc Race karts, you'll be sitting an inch off the ground and hitting speeds up to 60 -70mph - definitely one of the most sensational experiences on four wheels.

The Complex
Named the Complex for good reason! Many a novice driver has run out of talent on
this tough right-left-right series of bends.
Driver Tip: Slow in and then fast on the throttle out.
FOLLOW THE RACING LINE
HAIR PINS 1 & 2
A difficult combination of off-camber hairpins that reward brave and decisive overtaking manoeuvres. Exit speed is all important if you want to carry your momentum up the rise and along the Pit Straight.
Driver Tip: Slow and steady wins the race, at least, on these corners. It's better to emerge at speed rather than being brave and spinnng out.
FOLLOW THE RACING LINE
THE BRIDGE
Another critical high speed bend… a quick dab on the brakes, turn in and then back hard on the throttle, clipping the apex late. Use all the track and all the power.
Driver Tip: Try to keep as much speed as possible through the corner, a light touch of the brake is all you need and then back on the throttle.
FOLLOW THE RACING LINE
DEVIL'S DROP
The track drops away shortly before coming into the last corner. Clip the apex before the drop and then a dab on the brakes to bleed away your speed to turn smoothly into the last corner.
Driver Tip: Prepare to hit the brakes after taking the Drop, ready for the final corner.
FOLLOW THE RACING LINE
HOME STRAIGHT
Keep it smooth on the last corner, which, taken correctly, sets you up for maximum speed onto the Home Straight and across the start/finish line.
Driver Tip: Glide around this corner with your momentum and then full throttle for the chequered flag.
