Start your engines at the most thrilling tracks in South West England.
The South West offers a distinct "holiday" flavour to its motorsport. Unlike the industrial indoor units of London, this region is defined by sprawling outdoor circuits set in the rolling countryside of Devon, Cornwall, and Dorset. Whether you are looking for the former training ground of an F1 champion or a family race during a summer break, the West Country has it covered.
In Devon, the headline news is the rebranding of the famous Mansell Raceway. Now operating as Dunkeswell Raceway, this outdoor circuit near Honiton remains the premier destination for serious racers. It sits on a high-plateau airfield and features a 750m outdoor track that is fast, wide, and exposed to the elements. It runs a fleet of LPG-powered Sodi karts and retains the technical layout that Nigel Mansell himself was associated with. For indoor racing in the county, Raceworld Exeter offers a weather-proof alternative with a 350m track featuring a flyover.
Crossing into Cornwall, size matters. St Eval Kart Circuit (between Newquay and Padstow) is a massive facility featuring a 1.3km track—one of the largest in the UK. It is the go-to choice for families and holidaymakers, offering separate tracks for different age groups to ensure safety. Nearby, Kartworld at Adrenalin Quarry (Liskeard) provides a robust outdoor experience with an 800m track that complements the site's other thrill rides.
In Bristol & Somerset, there is a surprise for indoor fans. TeamSport Bristol (Avonmouth) is one of the few remaining venues in the TeamSport network to run petrol karts. While the rest of the country switches to electric, Bristol retains the raw noise and smell of engines on its large 800m multi-level track. Further south, South West Karting operates a superb outdoor track at the Haynes Motor Museum (Sparkford), allowing you to combine a day of racing with a visit to the UK's biggest collection of cars.
Finally, Dorset is home to the championship-level Clay Pigeon Raceway (Dorchester). This is a pro-grade outdoor circuit that hosts national competitions but also offers rental karts on its fast, flowing tarmac. For those in Bournemouth, South Coast Karting (near the airport) provides a floodlit outdoor challenge on a technical 420m layout.
