West Coast Karting: go karting in Maryport

About West Coast Karting

West Coast Karting is an indoor kart centre on the Solway Trading Estate in Maryport, on the west Cumbrian coast. It has been running since 1992 and describes its track as the longest indoor karting track in north-west England.

Children aged 8 to 15 drive a 300-metre layout in junior karts, while drivers aged 16 and over use a 550-metre layout. Every kart is powered by Honda GX engines, and group races can be booked with single- or twin-engine karts.

Formats range from 25-minute practice sessions to Grand Prix, Monaco and 45-minute Iron Man races, alongside children's parties and stag, hen and work groups. Hand-control karts are available for disabled drivers.
