This is a bit of a late review. I would like to thank Brighton Karting for holding such an amazing event for our group on the 22nd March 2025. All staff were attentive and accommodating to our requests whilst maintaining professional standards. I would especially like to thank the Race Director (name has unfortunately slipped my mind) who ensured our requests were met and that our team were safe.
I would like to apologise on behalf of one member of our team who cannot take a loss. I was not aware of their actions until after the event and I will ensure such behaviour will not be displayed again.
We will be seeing you all again.

As an experienced karting enthusiast and frequent reviewer, I can confidently say Brighton Karting is a standout venue on the UK karting scene. Despite visiting on a wet day, the experience was nothing short of excellent.
The track is exceptionally well maintained, offering a smooth, consistent surface with great drainage — crucial for wet weather racing. The layout is engaging, offering a good mix of technical corners and faster sections that cater to both newcomers and seasoned drivers alike.
What really sets Brighton Karting apart is the team. The staff were professional, attentive, and clearly committed to delivering a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. From the briefing to the post-race support, everything was run with precision and enthusiasm.
My son and I both had a fantastic time. Whether you’re a competitive racer or just looking for a great day out, I highly recommend Brighton Karting. It’s a facility that takes karting seriously and delivers a high-quality experience across the board.

Really good experience, however, lack of blue flags (don't think I ever saw one) made catching lapped karts a bit frustrating

Been here a few times, recently for a stag so (5 of us).
What I do love is the yellow flag, everyone's kart drops. So many places you are told slow down under yellow, it's a respect thing for the Marshalls, not an excuse to overtake the faster person in front.
Safety talk, to the point. The 270cc karts are good. Well covered with plastics. For a 100kg chap, they will pull up hill. You're never going to be quicker than a lighter person however.
Will go back again because I want to do an 1&1/2 Enduro solo if they do another enduro

Been coming here once in a while for the past few years for championship rounds and the staff are always great, karts are some of the best rental karts I’ve been in for parity and suit the track perfectly. The track itself is also very unique. Whenever someone asks about trying outdoor karting I always recommend here.

An excellent place to hang out with your friends, and enter into a fierce competition proving your skills to drive the Kart...
Even though it rained, the staff provided us with all the necessary equipment to be protected from the rain, we received the necessary information and demonstrated how professional they are. We enjoyed so much.
Absolutely recommend with confidence

I cannot express enough, my gratitude to Joe (with his dry humour), Morgan and THE Big Boss, for getting my son and I on track in the 200cc karts on his very special birthday surprise, that nearly wasn't.
Brighton Karting and the team, were professional, fair, and of course accommodating; listening to my woes, and then going above and beyond to correct what turned out to be a driver category misplacement when booking over the telephone.
This moment will be a core memory for both of us for years to come and we cannot wait to return.
Finally, I just want to reiterate that it's fantastic that Brighton Karting can put Parents and their children on track where other well-known circuits do not. Just make sure that when booking over the phone for 200cc, if your child is below the age of 11 years despite being 147cm tall, that you have been put into the (KIDS & FAMILY OPEN 30 (120cc/200cc) 8yrs+) and not the Intermediate which was (200cc/270cc).

I love this place it’s an incredible track with great kart’s at a very good price compared to other outdoor tracks. I have been here about 5 times and I wish there was a martial at the chicane because so many people spin there and people are often there when a martial hasn’t seen them

First time there, went along with a friend and had the 30 minute race experience which was really enjoyable. Good value, good set up, good team, good cafe and coffee afterward. Yeah, pretty much all good.

We’ve just taken our lads and their friend to Brighton karting for the first time and were delighted with the facilities, staff and setup.
It was a spur of the moment decision and the staff helped us out on the phone with the booking and sorting our specific needs.
The boys had the most fantastic time and came off the karts suitably tired.
The location is lovely and the cafe serves a very nice zero beer!
We will definitely be back again.
Thank you

What a little gem!
Recently attended a Missed Apex Podcast event hosted at Brighton Karting, it was fantastic. Brilliant track, well run and marshalled. Surroundings are very pleasant with a decent little bar for a post-race beer. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely brilliant venue. Came for Missed Apex Podcast event and was very welcoming, accommodated podcast recording and the track itself was top notch. Then the restaurant! Delicious food, best of any kart track in the UK.

Top track love it, well maintained and good stewarding with virtual pace car. makes for great racing and limits the idiots you get on other circuits.
Always have a good experience when coming here friendly staff and great facilities I can not speak highly enough and cheaper than alot of other tracks.

First class Karting venue. Real quality set up and super professional. The Karts are all very high quality and although I took my own kit the loan gear looked all good. The venue is great, there’s an awesome Cafe and everyone is super friendly. The circuit is challenging enough to keep you busy and the team really control everyone’s behaviours so there’s maximum skill minimum risk.
All in all a fantastic place. Can’t fault it!
