Race head-to-head at Jersey's leading kart tracks.

Jersey offers a motorsport landscape that is distinct from the rest of the British Isles. Unlike its neighbor Guernsey, Jersey currently does not have a permanent commercial "arrive and drive" go-kart circuit for the general public. However, the island is steeped in racing heritage, home to one of the few remaining competitive kart clubs that races on a closed public road. For visitors seeking adrenaline, the focus often shifts from tarmac to the sand, where wind-powered "Blokarting" has become the island's premier racing activity.

The heart of traditional karting on the island is the Jersey Kart & Motor Club, which organizes race meetings at the Ronez Loop Road in St John. This is a unique venue in the British motorsport calendar: a temporary circuit created by closing a section of public coastal road. While this provides a spectacular setting overlooking the sea for spectators and club members, it is strictly a racing venue for owner-drivers and club events, meaning there are no rental karts available for tourists or casual groups. For those looking for a hands-on racing thrill, the most popular alternative is Blokarting (Land Sailing) at St Ouen’s Bay. Operated by local adventure companies like Absolute Adventures, this sport combines the seating position and steering of a go-kart with the propulsion of a sail. Riders race across the wide, flat sands of the bay at speeds that can rival traditional karts, making it the "go-to" speed experience for visitors. For families specifically seeking petrol engine karting, a day trip to the neighboring island of Guernsey (which hosts a permanent track) is often the best option.
