Getting into karting is simpler than you think!

Your journey begins with a visit to a local go-karting track to give it a try. Many tracks, including Whilton Mill, offer arrive & drive sessions—an easy and affordable way to experience the thrill of karting. Prices often start from just £30, and friendly staff are on hand to provide advice on the basics and discuss next steps based on your goals. Pre-booking is usually required.

For those in Northamptonshire, Whilton Mill is an ideal starting point. It features a beginner-friendly track for novices and a larger 1200m circuit for experienced drivers. Options include casual practice sessions for kids and adults, a dedicated karting academy to teach racing skills, and a vibrant club that holds competitive events every fourth weekend.

If you’re ready to take your passion further, consider applying for a Motorsport UK Kart Licence to compete in regulated events. Alternatively, you can join an arrive & drive championship like Club 100, where all equipment is provided, allowing you to focus purely on racing. For those eager to own their own kart, Whilton Mill’s Kart Club Championship is a great choice.

Whilton Mill is also home to KKC Kart Components, an on-site kart shop stocked with everything you need to get started. Their knowledgeable team can guide you through purchasing the right kart and gear.
