Amazing day for a 12 year olds birthday. The team are incredible and were really focused on making it a fantastic experience for all of them. Music blaring for the grid setup, and the same again for the victory lap with the the chequered flag attached to the kart was a brilliant touch. Great facility, great track, great team. Thank you 👍

J. B.

My son had a joint 9th birthday party here with a bunch of 11 other lads, fair to say they loved it. Staff were great, well organised and the domino's went down a treat. Would definitely recommend

S. D.

Very professional and well organised. It was so good, we returned. Staff were excellent with my 8 yrs old son, first time in a petrol kart and was put at ease. The team members were really clear with instructions and helped explain things clearly to my little boy. Parents if you are thinking of holding a party here, do it! Team building events, do it!!! Family time, do it. Thank you for going the extra mile and finishing off a family holiday were memories will last a life time. ❤️

L. S.

Loved it. Felt like a real racing driver, the introduction wasn't tedious and the waiting time was spot on. Laps feel fast and they do add up fast so sessions could be shorter then expected. The track is good quality and the karts have a good speed. 👍 smells awesome in there if your a proper petrol head.

K. H.

First time with an 11 and a 15-year old. Fantastic place, they absolutely loved it. Very well organised. People are very friendly and helpful.

D. M.

Great place, loads of fun and really cool staff. Had the track to ourselves although our little girl had to come off as she was not in enough control, the guys refunded us without being asked and where super kind about it. Will definitely be back next year for another go!

D. M.

Great experience with my children! Really helpful and friend staff and a very fun way to spend an afternoon. Would highly recommend heading here!

A. M.

Simple awesome prices are right taken my son 12 for his first time karting staff was very helpful and understanding offering loads of advice we will be back before we head home.

J. M.

Our grandchildren loved it and will be back. It is quite expensive though so be careful on booking. Had to contact re-booking as the website only allowed you to book parties which was a little annoying.

K. S.

Great place, helpful staff and amazing experience itself! Detailed health and safety briefing; helmets, suits and gloves provided (not shoes though so make sure to wear something comfy). I'll be definitely going back there to have some more fun!

D. M.

This is an extremely well run establishment with high levels of friendliness and professionalism among staff. However, the air quality was such that I began to feel sick half way through our race, which took the shine off things, and I couldn't really compete effectively from thereon. When the race finished I had to get outside as soon as possible to get fresh air back in to my body. I still feel somewhat unwell 2 hours after. I don't regret the experience, and again the establishment is impressively well run, but I do wonder if the air quality side of things is an issue to be aware of.

G. A.

Staff was a bit rude but was probably having a bad day, arrived late due to traffic and got an attitude from the manager but the track was fun.

S. M.

It is an amazing place. My friends and I have been here twice and every time we received high quality service. The court is small but designed smart. 50 laps is two many for a newbie. I would recommend people to try 20 or 30 laps for first time race.

M. B.

Kids had a great time. Clean facilities and everything very well maintained. Track layout excellent.

E. T.

Had a fab party for my 6yr olds birthday. Defo recommend,Great fun and friendly staff.

R. G.

Excellent venue Equipment was decent, clean well cared for. Staff were exceptional

D. W.

Not too bad, the karting was good. They could just at least pretend to like their job, missing score sheets at the end :/

K. H.

Went here on a pre Stag do...I haven't had so much fun in a long time ..... The lads running the show where great with safety on the top of the agenda, carts well maintained in good condition and fast enough to raise my 56 year old heart beat.

M.

Helpful, friendly staff, a great atmosphere. And a great time had by the children. Very well organised.

A. B.

Great time had by all, safe & secure racing with individual time printouts will defo be back 👍

M.

Great place, been a few times now. Can't go too often so use it as a treat, it's not cheap but the cost is justified if you take into account that it is not cheap to run. The staff are excellent with a good balance of friendliness, efficiency and knowing when to be strict for your safety. They made sure my family were welcome, safe and allowed to have fun.

s. r.

Great fun. Been years since I last races here but its just as I remembered

d. d.

Took two 12 year old boys, they thought it was great. Very efficient online booking and very helpful staff.

J. G.

Great team at the village, more than happy to accommodate our party for an excellent set of races. And even threw in some bonus time as one of our party couldn't take part. Would highly recommend.

a. b.

Great fun. And helpful staff, we were running late but were allowed to swap allocated slot at the last minute. Many thanks.

S. H.

Great place. Staff were really accomodating and made the experience really enjoyable. Brought my mate on a stag do and he had a great time. Thank for such an enjoyable time.

S. p.

I went here with a group of guys with mixed ages not expecting much however the staff were great, and seemed very knowledgeable, if you're a big guy like me you might be limited to sizes so be warned, anyway... The kart track was quite small with one of my team making a lap in sub 20 second, but there is plenty of tight turns to work on and master, also car parking is free for customers the whole experience was good and there is a good possibility that I would go back and do it again, one niggle though the amount of fumes in that place is enough to give a headache! Are all indoor karting tracks like this? Extraction is definitely needed

R. F.

A great experience. Very welcoming. Clear instructions. Helpful, and not dictatorial in enforcing rules. All in all a fantastic event, that we all really enjoyed. Following a safety briefing, you're taken for fitting of helmets and suits (you where you're own footwear, and balaclavas and gloves that are purchased). Then it's on to the karts, you're checked to see if the seating position suits you, and then allowed to venture on track, for familiarisation and qualifying laps. Then your given your qualifying positions, before forming the grid. And the race is on. When it's all over, some champagne and trophies round it all off. Well organised, and highly recommended.

My daughter enjoyed her first ever drive and she did 20 minutes, which is quite tiring

D. A.

Good evening with a party of 12 ten year olds and some parents... well done by the guys running the place. Looked after us with enough control and attention to keep everyone on track!!!

B. W.

Fantastic track and cars, staff were great too and we all got more than enough track time. Highly recommended especially for big groups

F. F.

Tucked out of the way, needed sat nav to find. Seating area and bar in viewing area. Boys had a fab time

D. P.

Brilliant staff and amazing experience .... definitely reccomend again

D. M.

Visited York Motorsport Village in July for a stag do. Everyone in our group had a fantastic experience and the staff organised our afternoon brilliantly. Would definitely visit again - was a lot of fun!

l. l.

Been twice now with identical superb experiences. Very flexible, changing bookings and giving us an extra 10 minutes on the track! Friendly staff who accomadated all ages perfectly and keep the karts and tracks well kept. Harder than you would think (arms aches both times!) great fun.

d. t.

Brilliant time was had by all, there were 6 of us ( 4 adults and 2 aged 11 and 9), the staff were friendly and well mannered, very informative. When the 9yr old decided she couldn't do it anymore after a few laps the staff let her sit out, kept an eye on her and let her watch, and gave us a few extra minutes allowance which was very good of them. Highly recommended for a good bit of family competition lol

M. J.

Booked for our Son's 7th Birthday and it was brilliant! The kids loved the go cart races and there was a clean party room to use afterwards. Was worried about it being an old dusty warehouse but it was really well appointed with bar area and seating to watch the carts racing. Would definitely recommend and we will use it again for sure.

A. J.

We booked a race session with a group of 6. Great fun, staff very friendly. Those just watching could lounge in sofas or stand track side. Karts and clothing/helmets in good condition and adjustable to fit all sizes. The younger kids had smaller karts. Race stats and printouts provided are great if you're very competitive and like a permanent reminder of how much you won by - less so if like me you got beat by the kids. Drinks and snacks available but limited.

I. S.

Been today with a party of five to do "The Italian Job" package which is a seven minute qualifying session followed by a 40 lap race. Great fun. Yes the track is small but it's cleverly designed and rewards the driver. The staff were great throughout and I'd say it was remarkably good value. Exclusive use of the track for a 40 lap event in really good carts. Bob on! Thank you.

D. H.

Great fun, guys that run it are really helpful.

N. P.

Spent a very enjoyable hour at York MotorSports Village. Welcome area large and clean and tidy. Checking in on the computers easy. Staff welcoming and friendly. Just four of us having a practice session and we didn't get in each other's way too much! Took my son and two friends for his birthday and none had driven karts before but they enjoyed it immensely. Nice little track though can be tight to pass, especially if opponent making their kart wide! But would recommend and as it was January and snowing, we needed to drive inside! No complaints and would definitely return for more!

C. W.

Booked for a stag party yesterday on the Italian Job, was let down by the minibus to take us there and was slightly late, the boys were great fully understood and worked with us so we didn't miss our slot and could still kart. Would fully recommend for any Stag or Hen party or if you just want a great laugh with friends

J. C.

Our second visit as a Christmas treat for our U11's football team. Not only the best experience for all on the track, but the organisation behind the scenes is amazing. We had lovely food and the whole thing seamlessly managed. Thank you. I'm sure we will be back next year. Meantime my left winger/aspiring Lewis Hamilton will be making more than annual visits!!

B. T. L.

So much fun all the family loved it!!! But staff are really rude and not every nice, that most off them! I would recommend going, track is quite small for the same price go to the huge track at Leeds! Bust so much fun

M. W.

My teenage kids are still on an adrenaline high from the karting. Really helpful staff too.

A. P.

Been there 2 times now and going for my 3rd visit soon and I like going here because they have nice staff, the track is well taken care of and the karts are really smooth, their for I really do recommend York motorsport village 👍

K. S. E.

Patient, helpful and professional staff who know what they're talking about . Track has a great surface and despite it being quite small is fun to drive and makes for close racing. Flags very clear. Can get too crowded on track but only a problem with very inexperienced drivers triggering the air horn too much or drivers just quick enough to make it hard to pass. In some situations it is difficult to drop back as well if it is busy. Overall though, the best karting I've done which is why I've been many times. Would thoroughly recommend. Thanks for continuing to provide a great karting experience every time I visit.

S. L.

Brilliant time with my son well worth a visit second time is half price

C. W.

Been a few times and last year attended the amazing night held with Dan Linfoot. A full evening of Karting with 25+ involved. A great night and the team did amazing at keeping it going and entertaining. Would recommend this place to everyone. The comments about not being able to overtake and its too small aren't accurate. If you want wide open tracks that a toddler could overtake this isn't the place. It's technical and testing, mistakes are punished; it makes the competition fierce.

C.

Can definitely say this was the best go-karting track I have been on, with the best karts and facilities. Really nice clean and new everywhere you looked. I came from Hull to try it out and would definitely recommend it anyone. Worth the journey!

A. L.

Brilliant! The staff were amazing.

H. H.

Awesome experience both times I have been the staff are very professional and orgernised. You also get a print out of all your laps. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to have a laugh 🏎️ 🤣🤣

B. M.

Kinda scary at first but once you get into it, very fun. The staff were nice and they also had a vr option available

R. B.

Really good fun! We were a small group from an 8 year old through to adults and everyone enjoyed it.

P. B.

Did 2 sessions with 2 groups. Couldn't fault it. Staff are patient and understanding. Instructions very clear. Excellent experience. Thanks guys. Would certainly recommend it.

W. C.

A very well run karting venue. Not the biggest track, but karts in very good condition and much more consistent than most other places I've tried. Definitely recommend.
