About Brighton Karting

Brighton Karting is an 800-metre outdoor tarmac circuit on London Road at Albourne, near Hassocks in Mid Sussex, about ten miles north of Brighton. The track is 7 metres wide and floodlit.

Adults drive 270cc Sodi SR5 karts in open, grand prix and longer sprint sessions, with most formats from age 16 and open sessions from 15. Children can start at 8 in cadet karts, and there are separate championships for cadets, juniors aged 14–16 and adults.

Individuals can book open sessions online, while groups of 14 or more can take the track exclusively. Clay shooting, archery and axe throwing are offered on the same site, which suits stag, hen and corporate groups.
