At what age can kids start karting? I'm not talking about competitive racing, but just a couple of laps round a track.

Cheers.

I guess that would be the same age regardless as most circuits have to get MSA track approval for insurance. The age is 6
My son is 6 1/2 and has expressed interest. What's the best way to 'get him a go'?

Where in the Soutwest are you? Mini-cwk had a go at St Eval, near Newquay.

Proper single engined petrol karts at 6 years old, and they have a "toy" electric one for younger children.

They told us that there are very few places that let under - 8's have a go....

Near Cirencester / Swindon.
