High octane fun guaranteed!

Test your nerve on go karting tracks designed for speed and hone your racing skills around demanding circuits. Whether you’re racing against your mates, taking on colleagues, or enjoying friendly competition with the family, our fast, reliable go karts will help put you in pole position with speeds of up to 50mph.

As the visor goes down, your heart rate rises. You’re sitting on the starting grid and staring down the straight. The flag goes up, your pedal hits the floor, and you’re off! Your mates are hot on your tail as you turn into the first bend and you come out with a surge of speed and adrenaline. It’s time to put your best go karting skills into action…are they enough to put you on the podium?

Go Kart Racing For Everyone

Get a taste of formula one with well-organised competitions and race formats for groups or solo racers. Compete against the clock in the qualifying sessions to grab your spot on the starting grid. Then go head-to-head to secure your place on the podium.

Fast straights give you the chance to put the pedal to the metal and break away from the pack. Wide tracks are an invitation for overtaking. And technical corners and chicanes call for precision to make it out the other side. Go karting novice? No problem! You can nail your skills on one of four testing circuits designed for every ability.

Experienced racing enthusiast? Fine-tune your talent on tracks intended to develop your go kart racing skills.

Alert and active marshals make for a safe racing experience for everyone. And with go karting sessions especially for kids, youngsters can try karting and build their racing confidence in a children-only environment. Want to kart alongside your kids? We have sessions for that too.

And when it’s time to refuel, our trackside team have got you covered. Take a pit stop at the café or licenced bar and enjoy some winner’s banter – but will you have the bragging rights?

We welcome stag/hen groups, parties, smaller groups, and solo racers. We’re your perfect partner for corporate events too and pride ourselves on our professionalism, gold standard service and safety record.

Our go karting track is located near Ancaster in Lincolnshire and is easily accessible from Lincoln, Grantham, Boston, Sleaford, Newark, Nottingham, Leicester, Peterborough, Cambridge, and Northampton.

THE TRACK

Simple ways to shave seconds off your laptime

Without the simple theory of losing a couple of pounds, these tips might help you find your way onto the podium.

– Be as smooth as you can, a common mistake made while racing is trying too hard, any aggressive turning or braking will affect the karts behaviour.

– Sit back and relax, learning forward, jumping up and down in the seat, or hanging out of the kart while going around a corner only disrupts the intended balance of the kart.

Hearing tyres screech around the track may sound impressive, but the kart is actually going sideways instead of forwards.

Anyone can go fast into a corner, but 9/10 times the driver will either run wide or find a tyre wall to slow them down.

USER REVIEWS

A fantastic day had here today go karting and paintballing. The staff were spot on and the venue is very well kept. Would recommend to anyone. Definitely returning in the future

The people are lovely, the karts are good fun, using the full track is great, food on site and they digitally track the laps of each kart and give you a print out at the end for bragging rights with your mates haha
Highly recommend! Will be going again!

Great service, I was very satisfied when I came karting. Marshals were very focused and very active and the receptionists were organised and on top of all the other sessions and events. I would recommend Ancaster Leisure to my friends and colleagues.
