2 tracks in North Wales run team building events. The appeal is that karting is a genuine leveller: seniority stops mattering the moment the lights go out.
Deeside, North Wales
Apex Kart is an indoor kart circuit on Babbage Road in Sandycroft, Deeside, just over the Welsh border from Chester. The venue has operated since 1989, originally as The Circuit Raceway, and was refurbished in 2016 after a change of ownership.
Cerrigydrudion, Corwen, North Wales
Glan Y Gors Park sits in open country at Cerrigydrudion, on the edge of Snowdonia, and runs an 1,100 metre outdoor circuit. The briefing room has a balcony with panoramic views over the whole track, which makes it a better spectator venue than most.

The thing that catches groups out. Below the minimum you either pay for absent drivers or book an open session instead.
Drivers share a kart and swap over across an hour or more. Far better for building a team than everyone racing individually, and often cheaper per head because it is priced per kart.
Most operators take card on the day. Fewer will invoice a company on thirty days, and it is worth asking before you commit.
Meeting or dining space on site turns half a day into a full one and saves moving everybody twice.
Height, weight or medical limits will rule someone out. Sites with a simulator or a second activity handle that gracefully.
