    Teamworks Karting in Birmingham is the home of the UK's fastest indoor karts. Each kart has 13hp…read moremotors meaning the karts at Teamworks Karting are the most powerful in the UK. The go-kart centre is only a ten minute walk from the Bullring and New Street Station. You can get up to speeds of around 40-50mph and considering it is an indoor go-kart centre that is pretty quick. Staff at Teamworks Karting are fully trained and if you have any questions they will happily help you. To find out more information give Teamworks a call on the above number. I have spoken to many people who have gone go-karting at Teamworks and they said they had a very good time. Height restrictions do apply so there may well be some disappointed youngsters who may not get the opportunity to drive a go-kart. But honestly it really is worth going to Teamworks Karting and believe me you will have a fantastic time. It will definitely be something you remember for many years to come. If you are looking for something to do and your in the Birmingham area, why not have a go at go-karting at Teamworks Karting.

    So it was someone's bright idea at work to arrange a team day out go karting! I was extremely…read moreexcited as I had never done it before but I didn't really know what to expect. When we first arrived, we all met in the car park before walking up to the entrance. We were greeted by a couple of guys who took us through to a room where we watched a safety video and were told what they day ahead involves. Next, we put on our suits which were all in ones so they went over our clothes. I'd recommend wearing something light and comfortable as it gets really hot in there especially with the helmet on. The go kart itself went so fast! I felt nervous with adrenaline and thought I was doing really well. That was until, at the end I found out I had been lapped by the others several times! Definitely a fun day out.

    The Raceway provide a great indoor track, split across two levels - one of the best I have driven…read moreon! Unlike some tracks, there is a good combination of fast sections where it's a test of nerve to hit the corners without lifting of the throttle and tight bends which need to be negotiated with some more precision! What makes it even better is that unlike the lower level, which has a predictable, grippy concrete surface, the upper level uses a polished wooden surface! This leads to lots of sliding... and a lot of fun! Unfortunately, the great track, one of the longest indoor tracks in the UK, and large number of drivers allowed on track does mean that there is a lot of time on the yellow light (where you can only drive at walking pace :/) as it takes the race marshals some time to locate and clear any 'incidents'. Additionally, the "brand new karts" advertised on their website, have definitely seen some action and are now looking worse for wear! Despite a few niggles, the great track manages to makes up for these, and with a little more kart maintenance and a few more marshals to clear the incidents this would easily have been a 5* review!

    So the first thing I need to say is that I had a hilarious evening at The Raceway. It is always…read morefunny watching other people race (and more importantly crash!). So if I was rating the evening instead of the venue then it would be a straight up 4. However I have a few gripes that I feel I need to get off my chest. Firstly, it's never nice to be told "we don't have space for your group" (9 people) when I was explicitly told by Customer Service not to bother booking for the Arrive & Drive event. Thankfully after a bit of a fuss we were told "we'll fit you in". So what ensued was a 90 minute wait watching others drive (which was hilarious!). Finally it was our turn to race and after the obligatory safety brief video; we were out in the pits. Now the Raceway's website states "BRAND NEW KARTS!!!" but I guess that might have been true in the mid -00s as the Karts we were in looked to have had a fair few miles under their belt. The track is fantastic, a great mix of slow, windy corners and some lovely sweeping corners which can be taken flat-out if you dare! One thing to say about the racing is that the marshaling was lackadaisical at best. I lapped one friend twice whilst he was stuck in the barriers before a marshal spotted him. Perhaps a walkie-talkie system between the marshals would improve communication instead of them shouting above the engines. So all in all, a great evening and a great facility but some definite points of improvement. Will I go back? Certainly!
