Outdoor karting at Tockwith Airfield
Tockwith Outdoor Karting operates from Tockwith Airfield between York and Wetherby. The floodlit outdoor venue runs year-round and supports public rental sessions, organised races, endurance events and owner-drivers.
Driver groups and formats
- Junior sessions: ages eight to 13 use single-engine Honda cadet karts and must meet the published 125cm height minimum.
- Older drivers: ages 14 and over use twin-engine Honda karts for practice, Iron Man and group-race formats.
- Family karting: family sessions combine eligible adults and juniors within the operator’s stated group limits.
- Endurance racing: team events add qualifying, driver changes, pit-stop organisation and longer race durations.
Access and equipment
- Weekday arrive and drive: practice access is advertised Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm without advance booking, subject to availability.
- Pre-booked periods: race formats, larger groups, evenings and weekends must be arranged before travel.
- Owner-drivers: owner-kart access is published Tuesday to Friday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.
- Driver kit: equipment is available, but sensible footwear is mandatory and a change of clothes is advisable in rain.
Before visiting
- Outdoor conditions: weather affects comfort and grip even though floodlighting supports evening operation.
- Site limits: the operator states there are no lockers, dogs are not allowed and the on-site café is cash only.
- Confirm the slot: call ahead for race formats and when travelling a long distance because events can affect open practice.
- Internal booking only: use the approved Kart Directory catalogue where shown; no external operator checkout is exposed.
