Feel the adrenaline rush at North Coast & Mid-Ulster's top karting venues.

The North Coast is one of Northern Ireland's premier tourist destinations, and its karting options are perfectly set up for holidaymakers and locals alike. Whether you are driving the Causeway Coastal Route or exploring the mid-Ulster countryside, you are never far from a race track. The region offers a distinct split: outdoor tarmac racing near Coleraine and Magherafelt, and family-friendly indoor racing in Ballymoney.

For those on the North Coast, K-Team Karting (Coleraine) is the primary outdoor choice. Located just outside Kilrea, this venue features a 400m outdoor track that is popular for stag dos and groups. It runs competitive Grand Prix formats and offers a raw, grippy racing experience that indoor tracks struggle to match. Just 15 minutes away in Ballymoney, KartSport offers the region's main indoor alternative. Situated in the Ballybrakes Business Park, this centre is arguably the most family-oriented track in the country. It features a 240m indoor race arena and runs a diverse fleet: 200cc petrol karts for adults (12+), 120cc karts for juniors (8-12), and electric "Mini F1" karts for children as young as 4. It is an ideal rainy-day option for families visiting the Giant's Causeway. Further inland in Mid-Ulster, Railway Karting (Moneymore/Magherafelt) provides a solid outdoor option. This venue caters heavily to stag parties and corporate groups, offering a fleet of 270cc karts on a track that mixes fast straights with technical hairpins. Important Update: Derry/Londonderry Residents of Derry City should be aware that Campsie Karting Centre (Eglinton) has permanently closed. The nearest tracks for Derry residents are now K-Team (approx. 40 mins) or the tracks in Donegal (Letterkenny).
