🏁 Racing Format


Practise & Qualifying

Start things off with some practice laps to learn the circuit and get to grips with your kart before moving onto qualifying which is all about the fastest lap, and remember it only takes a touch of magic on one lap to take pole position.

The Exclusive Grand Prix Extra format gives you an extra session of karting, so practise and qualifying both become their own 15 minute session.

Grid start

Once you've completed qualifying the marshal will line you up on the grid for the official race start. When the lights go green it's time to race.
