The kart track at North East Karting, near Sunderland ( www.kartingnortheast.com ) is a belter and you can then go on the lash in Newcastle after... perfect stag night

Just did mine in these.



Not karts I grant you. But had a great time trying to perfect the 4 wheel drift.

They also team up with http://www.grandprixkarting.co.uk/ if you want to do both. We just did the off road buggies.

We had a works do at Whilton Mill and it was pretty good. Karun Chandhock was there earlier in the week.

The karting track in Warrington is (apparently) the largest indoor track in the UK. Pretty good too as it's on 3 levels.

Unfortunately you'd have to go out in Warrington afterwards, which is dire. Liverpool or Manchester are much better.

How quick are they, been looking at something similar for a stag do, but a lot of the off-road carts at most place look slow as hell frown
I'm after something we can have some nice lurid powerslides in wink

I don't think you are quite going to get that. Powerslide yes, but lurid possibly not. The fastest way was by staying on the brakes during turn in to get the back coming around, then stand on the throttle to maintain the drift.

They were fast enough for your average person to have to work at not crashing. If you're a trackday demon you'll be perfecting your line rather than trying not to crash.

Wilton Mill don't do the powerful karts for weekend arrive and drives - you only get the cacky underpowered ones.

Lakeside in Essex is decent enough- you can be in London West End within 30 mins.

You can get the twin engined stuff as well, pretty quick and a fun circuit.

I used to work with a guy who went karting and then for a night out in Amsterdam. I know you said not abroad, but I just thought I'd put it out there in case you change your mind. biggrin

My word it's difficult to decide.

As others have fathomed it's got to be somewhere with an excellent nightlife.

Sunderland is just too far for people coming from the London area whilst the London area is too far for people coming from up north!

I need somewhere in the midlands really, or at least somewhere in the middle of the country.

Three sisters looks like it might be a good option but can you have a good night out in Wigan? The lads will be up for a laugh but they're all fairly well-to-do, definitely not Carling drinkers! Fairly intelligent group lol.

Can anyone think of other good tracks in the middle of the country? In a place with a good nightlife?

have to agree here, daytona are a great outfit and the MK circuit is top notch. the whole place is professional and ordered. its not cheap but the karts are all good, there are lots of marshals around, the facilities are nice etc. you get print outs and all htat sort of stuff too.

all little things (and big things) that make a difference. you're not just shoved into some dirty overalls and given a kart thats on its last legs for twenty minutes of random lapping.
