Experience the best karting tracks in Isle of Man.
The Isle of Man is world-renowned as the "Road Racing Capital of the World" due to the legendary TT races. This passion for speed extends directly to its karting scene. While the island's public roads are famous for motorcycles, the Manx National Kart Circuit at Jurby provides a safe, purpose-built environment for four-wheeled thrills, offering one of the most technical and exposed outdoor experiences in the British Isles.
The heart of the island's karting action is Jurby Karting, located at the Jurby Motordrome (Airfield) in the north of the island. This venue utilizes the Manx National Kart Circuit, which is the only permanent short circuit on the Isle of Man. The track measures over 1,000 meters (approx. 1.1km) and is built on former airfield runways, resulting in a wide, fast-flowing layout with high-speed corners that reward smooth driving.
Because of its airfield location, the track is flat and exposed to the elements, making wind and weather a genuine factor in lap times—a challenge that appeals to purists. The facility offers "Arrive and Drive" sessions for the public using a fleet of petrol karts, allowing tourists and locals to experience the circuit without needing their own equipment. It is also the home of the Isle of Man Kart Racing Association, hosting competitive championship rounds that frequently see grids of serious machinery, from Rotax to Gearbox karts.
