JDR Karting runs at Gloucester (Gloucestershire) as a multi-activity complex combining karting, laser tag, axe throwing, archery, mini golf (Ocean Island Adventure Golf, opened October 2025), ice-free curling, shuffleboard, and a Tiki Bar on site.

Four karting categories cover the calendar: Senior for 13 and over and adults, Petrol Cadets for 8-12 year olds, Racing Rascals for 4-6 year olds (the youngest format), and Electric Cadets for 7-10 year olds. The site runs recurring events on the Cadet Academy (driver training for 8-12) and Open Grand Prix (practice heats and competitions). Bookings on 01452 311 211 or via the official site.
