Stretton Circuit Outdoor Karting Guide

Outdoor karting near Leicester

Stretton Circuit is a 950m floodlit outdoor track established in 1995 and designed with high- and low-speed corners, chicanes and hairpins. It supports public rental sessions, owner-driver practice and organised championships on the same circuit.

Junior, cadet and senior karts

• Entry level: drivers can start from age eight and 1.2m in restricted 160cc karts.
• Cadet level: the operator publishes 160cc karts for roughly ages ten to 13 with a 1.4m threshold.
• Senior level: adult products begin from age 14 and 1.4m, subject to safe kart fit.
• Performance: the fastest twin-160cc senior karts are advertised up to 55mph.

Sessions, safety and club use

• Rental formats: arrive-and-drive, family, Sprint, Grand Prix and endurance products are offered.
• Included kit: events include an NKA briefing, racewear, helmet and digital lap timing; drivers bring or buy balaclavas and gloves.
• Arrival: junior and family guidance asks participants to arrive 30 minutes before the session.
• Competition: owner-driver practice, SCSS and the 2026 Non Owners Cup extend the circuit beyond casual rental.
