135 of the 137 circuits we list will take a 16 year old, across 85 counties.
This is the part that catches people out. Nearly every circuit sets a minimum height alongside the minimum age, and both have to be met. A child needs to reach the pedals with enough leg left to brake hard, and see over the wheel, and a kart has almost no adjustment. Among the tracks that take 16 year olds, the minimum runs from 100cm to 155cm. Measure your child before you book rather than after you arrive.
47 other circuits do not publish a height minimum for this age. Worth ringing before you travel.
2 circuits open up at this age that would not take a 15 year old:
