Karts

Adult Karts - SODI RT10

The RT10 from Sodi is combined with the 390cc engine, a lighter kart with a more sensitive and progressive response to driver input, particularly at speed. In comparison to the more commonly found rental/corporate chassis, the race chassis ultimately gives a much more rewarding karting experience. The engine is big on torque ultimately propelling the kart to speeds in excess of 55mph which is achievable on the kart circuit.

  • 390cc

  • Reaches speeds in excess of 55mph!

  • For drivers 16+ years old

  • Minimum height: 5ft (1.52m)

Junior Karts - SODI LR6

Our junior Sodi LR6 karts have rev limiters fitted for the safety of junior (under 16) drivers, as well as adjustable seats and adjustable steering wheels. Forgiving enough for junior drivers but still fast enough for expeienced karters.

  • For drivers 8 - 15 years old

Circuit Layouts

With three different circuit layouts, Thruxton Kart Centre has something for everyone, whether you’re an experienced karter or just starting out.

Club Circuit

Our newest circuit - the Club circuit, was designed with Arrive & Drive and Junior (8 years old onwards) sessions in mind. The Club circuit features four different configurations (130m, 146m, 210m and 365m) and the ability to run independent of our two other circuits.

900m National circuit

Our most popular circuit is the 900m National Circuit. The circuit, being 7 metres wide, will easily allow 3 and sometimes even 4 karts abreast into most of the corners. This track also includes our unique flyover, a first for a UK outdoor kart circuit!

1100m Full Circuit

Finally the 1100m Full Circuit is an extension of the National circuit by the inclusion of the loop and hairpin in the north east corner.

Great attention has been paid to the driving experience on all our circuits, having kerbs in the right places, suitable drainage and fast and exciting corners.
