Daytona

Daytona Tamworth operates in Staffordshire 25 km north-east of Birmingham, as one of three premium venues in the British Daytona Motorsport chain. The outdoor circuit hosts leading British karting championships and runs two complementary kart classes on its race-bred track.

N35-ST 4-stroke karts at 50 mph take drivers from 14, and DMAX 2-stroke karts at 70 mph with Rotax 125cc engines take drivers from 16. The age structure covers Bambinos 6-7, Cadets 8-11, Juniors 12-15, and Adults 14 and over. The site runs several racing series: the InKart Championship across age groups, SuperChamps in a competitive membership format, the Thursday Night League in a casual no-membership format, the Jamie Chadwick Series for female drivers, and 3-Hour Endurance team races. Race schools and tuition programmes run during the school holidays. Professional chefs prepare the on-site catering, with signature smash burgers on the menu.
