Pollard Karting

In Castlepollard, in County Westmeath at the heart of the Midlands, the Pollard Karting offers a circuit that combines covered and outdoor sections, on the Mullingar road. The site supplies helmets, gloves and race suits, and every session starts with a briefing and driving instruction. A computerised timing system and an electronic leaderboard of lap times keep the spirit of racing alive among friends as well as regulars.

A viewing balcony lets you follow the races from above, and a car park rounds out the welcome. The mix of indoors and outdoors lets you drive in all weather, alternating the shelter of the hall with the open air. People come as a family, among friends or in a group, for a first taste of karting as well as to string laps together, in a friendly atmosphere turned towards racing.

Castlepollard lies in the north of County Westmeath, not far from Lough Derravaragh, linked to the legend of the Children of Lir, and the Tullynally estate with its castle. Between lakes, bogs and rolling countryside, the Irish Midlands lend themselves to escapes. At the heart of County Westmeath, the Pollard Karting adds a dose of motorsport, indoors as well as in the open air, open all year round.
