Go-Karting in Brighton

Once your kids hit eight, go-karting properly opens up around here. Brighton Karting out at Hassocks runs proper race karts on an 800m outdoor track, with family sessions that mix ages together. TeamSport in Brighton is indoor and electric, spread over a multi-level track, and has a Mini Racer option for younger drivers plus a bar where non-racers can watch. AR Kartz in Burgess Hill keeps races short with timed 15-minute heats for kids, moving up to full F1-style formats for adults. If the weather's against you, TeamSport and AR Kartz are both indoors, so rain won't cancel your plans. Brighton Karting suits a family day where not everyone wants to race flat out, since it mixes karts and ages on the same outdoor track, and there's food and parking sorted on site. For a party, both TeamSport and AR Kartz do birthday bookings and group rates, so it's worth deciding whether you want the after-race food at TeamSport or the party rooms at AR Kartz. All three ask for booking ahead, so sort that before you turn up.
