Rissington Kart Racing Club

Owner-driver racing at Little Rissington

Rissington Kart Racing Club runs outdoor competition on the active Little Rissington airfield in Gloucestershire. The official club calendar and Motorsport UK permit records show a current 2026 programme, with entry and access organised per event.

Circuit and classes

• Fast airfield layout: the circuit is wide and quick, with long straights suited to gearbox racing.
• Inner dogleg: non-gearbox classes use a more technical inner section that changes the rhythm of the lap.
• Class range: the club supports major categories from Cadet competition through 250 Gearbox under the relevant regulations.
• Owner-driver only: regular race meetings require a compliant privately owned kart rather than a public rental booking.

Newcomers and race weekends

• Novice welcome: the club promotes a family environment for newcomers as well as experienced national-level competitors.
• Licence pathway: ARKS tests may be available by arrangement for drivers progressing towards a Motorsport UK kart licence.
• Event facilities: published amenities include hot food, toilets, pit bays, electrical hook-up and medical cover.
• Spectators: the club advertises free spectator access, but visitors still need to follow the specific meeting and airfield instructions.

Before travelling

• Live MOD site: follow the official route and gate instructions and do not roam beyond the authorised event area.
• Site rules: pets, scooters, skateboards and similar pit-area hazards are not permitted.
• Confirm the date: check the 2026 calendar, supplementary regulations and any late event update before making the journey.
• No directory booking: this listing contains no external race-entry, test or club-payment checkout button.
