The ultimate destination for karting enthusiasts in West Sussex.
West Sussex is the true engine room of South Coast motorsport. While many people search for karting in "Brighton," the reality is that the major tracks are physically located here, just across the county border. Following the closure of the family track at Brooklands Park, the focus has shifted entirely to high-performance facilities that offer some of the best electric and petrol racing in the UK.
The largest indoor venue in the county is TeamSport Crawley. Located near Gatwick Airport, this is a flagship facility featuring a massive 800m multi-level track. It has recently been upgraded to run a fleet of high-performance electric karts, which are perfect for tackling the circuit's complex flyovers and tight hairpins without the fumes associated with older indoor tracks. It is a favourite for corporate events due to its proximity to the airport and M23.
Serving the coast is TeamSport Brighton, which is actually located in Lancing Business Park. This was one of the first tracks in the UK to showcase the potential of electric racing. The 450m multi-level layout is tight and technical, designed specifically to harness the instant torque of the "EcoVolt" karts, making it the go-to destination for racers from Worthing and Hove who need a local fix.
For those who prefer the roar of a petrol engine and open skies, QLeisure (Brighton Karting) in Albourne is the undisputed champion. Situated just off the A23, this 800m outdoor circuit is fast, wide, and flowing. It uses powerful 270cc Sodi petrol karts capable of 50mph, offering a "proper" driver's challenge that indoor tracks simply cannot match.

Go karting in West Sussex - FAQs
Below are answers to common questions about karting in West Sussex, covering the recent closures and the best remaining tracks.

While Goodwood (near Chichester) is a world-famous motorsport venue, it does not have a permanent "Arrive & Drive" karting circuit for the public. It focuses on track days, driving experiences, and major events like the Revival.
Yes, QLeisure offers Junior Karting for ages 8-14. However, this is often run on a specific configuration or with restricted karts. For the main high-speed adult events on the full 800m circuit, drivers typically need to be 15+ years old.
