Lakeside Karting

Lakeside Karting runs on the A1306 Arterial Road in Grays (RM19 1EA), Essex, 30 km east of London and reachable from the M25. The floodlit all-weather circuit is described as the South East's largest and fastest outdoor kart track, and holds the International Rental Karting Award for Best Customer Experience.

Three kart categories cover the calendar: 390cc Race Karts for adults aged 14 and over, 200cc karts for juniors aged 8 and over, and F1 Electric karts for children aged 3-7 on a dedicated circuit. The site stands out for its high-performance 390cc race karts and the many overtaking lines opened up by the floodlit track width.
