Go karting in Nottinghamshire - FAQs

Below are answers to common questions about karting in Nottinghamshire, covering the best outdoor tracks and city-centre options.

ELK Motorsport in Newark is widely considered the fastest. It uses twin-engine 400cc petrol karts on a wide 1,200m outdoor circuit, allowing for much higher top speeds (approx. 50mph+) than typical indoor tracks.

TeamSport Nottingham runs a fleet of BIZ EcoVolt NG electric karts. These offer instant torque and acceleration, often making them faster off the line than petrol equivalents, and they run on a clean, fume-free track.

Amen Corner Karting and Lockwell Hill are both located in the Rufford/Newark area, very close to Sherwood Forest. They are ideal for tourists and families visiting the area.

Yes, but confusingly, Nottingham Raceway is physically located in Leicestershire (near Melton Mowbray), about a 20-minute drive from Nottingham. It is a great outdoor track but is technically listed under our Leicestershire section.

ELK Motorsport accepts drivers from 10 years old (minimum height 140cm) for their junior sessions, while the powerful twin-engine karts are reserved for adults (16+).
