Driver notes

Preferred overtaking spots:
End of the back straight.
Kart review:
Technically, Club100 karts are rental karts, but these machines use a water cooled 125cc engine made by Rotax. They are the fastest arrive and drive karts in the UK. They’re great—far faster than a twin engine pro kart and about 80% as fast as an Owner Driver Rotax.
Value for money:
A sprint weekend with Club100 costs £219.00 per round inc. + £50.00 one-off registration fee. Far cheaper than buying your own go kart!

Inside track
Lydd Karting features modest facilities. There’s a diner-like cafe with a pretty decent viewing gallery. Toilets are above average. The general locale is easy on the eye and the track remains a firm favourite in my book.
If you’re after a rental karting fix, Lydd karting track go karts are the usual single engine affair, but you’re likely to reach top speeds down their long straights and around their flowing corners.

Review
