Hey,

Basically I need to book some go karting action or something for Stag Do on the 3rd August. Usually there are deals on groupon or something but I can't find any - Can anyone gimmie recommendations? I am central london based, let me know!


(p.s. Was gonna go paintballing, but can't be dealing with getting there at 9am after drinking on the friday and then being there until 4pm)

Been to the Maidenhead track before.

Don't know how the price compares to others really but they're probably all in the same ball park and you should be able to haggle a bit if you're taking a large stag party along.

Most if not all their tracks are outdoor also i think which is far better than many of the shitty cooped up ones you find inside warehouses etc.

This place I went to with work, in Greenwich.

https://www.theraceway.com/

Very nice place with F1 car replicas on the walls, helmets in glass cases etc, great track with loads of lighting and nice karts too.

Can dig out my helmet cam footage of the place if you wanted too.

Found this on groupon too but haven't really read the details: https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/london/the-raceway/4148721

Thruxton go kart track is good. It's outdoor and the karts will hit 60 Cool

Bastard expensive though.

I'd go minimoto instead.

I have been there before - but that bloody groupon voucher has expired! Now its like £60+ per person. Gonna hold out a couple of days and see if groupon puts something up but really need to sort it out this week!

Gonna see what I can do :/

The surbiton place is £45 for 30 ins and £50 for 45.

Just reserved a place here:
https://www.quadbikeracing.com/

Anyone know if its a big mistake (i.e. any negative comments?)

Everywhere else was either booked up when we wanted or was more expensive. At least this place is outdoors as you guys have said that is better.

Sorry cluchy only saw this post after calling them!
