About Absolutely Karting Bristol

An indoor circuit in east Bristol running Sodi GT5 karts, with a double-level layout for drivers tall enough to use it. Being under cover, it runs the same in February as in July: the obvious pick locally if you don't want a session called off for weather.

It handles a wider age range than most: electric Whizz Karts for four to eight-year-olds, junior karts from eight at 130cm, adult karts from fourteen, and the full double-level track from 152cm. Worth checking which your group actually qualifies for before booking, since the thresholds stack.

Arrive 45 minutes early: that's for check-in and the safety briefing, and it's longer than most venues ask for. Balaclava and gloves are compulsory and cost £5 to hire if you don't bring your own.

Top speed of 45mph is the operator's published figure, not an independent measurement.

Questions about Absolutely Karting Bristol

How old do you have to be to go karting here?

Children can race from 8 in the junior karts provided they're at least 130cm. Adult karts start at 14, and the full double-level track needs 152cm. Younger children from 4 can use the electric Whizz Karts.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Nothing: the circuit is indoors, so rain and wind make no difference to your booking.

What should I wear for a session?

Comfortable clothes that sit under a race suit, and flat enclosed shoes, no sandals, heels or flip-flops. Tie long hair back and remove jewellery and scarves. A balaclava and gloves are required and can be hired for £5.

How early should I arrive?

Forty-five minutes before your track time, for check-in and the safety briefing. That's more notice than many venues ask for, so build it into your plans.

Is there a weight or height limit?

No hard cut-off, but the karts are most comfortable up to around 18 stone and 6ft 4in. Staff can arrange a kart test beforehand if you're unsure.

Can family and friends watch?

Yes, there's a dedicated viewing area for spectators.

Do I need a racing licence?

No. Anyone meeting the age and height requirements can drive after the safety briefing.
