Track 14/35! So this is getting really difficult now as I've done all the tracks within 2 hours of myself (other than Stoke and Manchester Trafford which I have booked soon). It's a 438 mile round trip for Cardiff but I managed to work around collecting some car parts from Hereford and stopped in Cardiff overnight to make things easier. This was a 342 event which with the Elite membership worked out at £26.25, otherwise known as an absolute bargain for 45 minutes karting! They did however run the event differently, they split it into 2 sessions instead of 3x15 minutes it was a 20 and 25 minute session. Find the footage on YouTube. Cardiff is another location using Sodi karts (Bradford do too) rather than the Biz karts. I find the Sodi karts less responsive, the pedals are unpleasant to use and the seats can only be adjusted when you're not in the kart. My kart in the second session felt more responsive but I'm not sure I had the seat in a good position whereas with the Biz karts I know to use the second to last seating position. On the first session I managed 35.799s and on the second session 35.513s. My fastest time shows as position 389 on the leaderboards (as of 14/09/21) although I don't trust them as the complete top 10 times are showing as 5 seconds a lap. A lot of the elite lightweight times are 33 seconds so I'm skeptical that 389 is an accurate position on the leaderboards at this track. I'm a lot more used to the slippy surfaces so complain a lot less than I used to but make no mistake the lower level at Cardiff is slippy, it didn't feel so slippy at the bottom of the down ramp as it did at the far end with the right into a long straight then right again you had to force yourself to stay on the accelerator else the front end of the kart would want to take you into the barriers! Similar to Nottingham a really frustrating surface to master in my opinion. In some places it felt like the track wasn't so good for 16 karts, if this were a session full of complete beginners I think it would've been a constant pileup in places. Fortunately there were some good karters on track and it was an uneventful session compared to some of my recent experiences with big crashes! I would definitely recommend the track, staff were incredibly helpful and great to talk to but I do hope they update the karts at Cardiff.

Bad customer service handling, Rude staff, session delayed for over 1 hour. First of all, the staff from online chat of teamsports told us disposable balaclava is supposed to be avaliable. However the disposable balaclava was not an option when we got there , we were force to pay for the 10.99 package (Balaclava and gloves). Staff(Kacey said disposable Balaclava was not available due to the covid reason which did not make sense to us at all. We thought disposable one would have been more covid friendly. We just went with it because we wanted to start our 2130 session and finish 2230 as planned. We were not informed there was a delay before our session start. I had to go find out myself around 22:00. Staff gave us different reasons for our delayed session. Refused to provide us their names or let us speak to their manager(they just wont tell us who's the manager on duty). We got there at 2100 on time for our 2130 session and supposed to be finished at 22:30, our first race did not start until 22:30 and we ended up finished at almost 23:30. That's a hour delay and we all had plan in the same evening and next morning. This is simply not acceptable hence we demanded to speak to their manager. We paid over 480 pounds for 12 people booking and expected to enjoy our experience. Put this in a simple way, they would not have let us race if we were late and there was no delay on their behalf. In the end they also threaten us with saying they will call the police and accuse us trespassing. Also the 15 mins race was around 12 or 13 mins , not 15 mins as promised.

The venue was well organised, site team were friendly, helpful and great fun. So.e of the other groups racing with us were too competitive and ignored the safety rules but otherwise we had a fantastic time and won't forget in a hurry.

My boy and I went here for his 15th birthday. We went on a Sunday night and booked the offer 3 for 2. We were on track with maybe around 10 others, so we had 3 x 15-minute races. Live timing is done so you can check all your times on the screens, but they are also sent to your email or app if you sign up. Very good experience, I wouldn't recommend if you have bad wrists or suffer with any spinal issues due to the possible impacts, and the turns can be tight and are hard on the left wrist personally.

Went for my son's 18th birthday and though I didn't race myself the afternoon was amazing. The staff were really friendly, helpful and professional. I didn't pay for the day as it was a Sky VIP experience but if I had to it was pretty reasonable, even better if your a member and benefit from discounted rates. You can use your own kit which is available to buy from the venue. Overall a great afternoon.
