A great way to spend a day!!…read more Just on the outskirts of Leeds, not far from the royal armories, is a hugely understated building. From the looks of the industrial buildings around PPIK (Pole Position Indoor Karting) it doesn't appear to be up to much. Holy hell was I wrong. There are a number of races available, all ranging in cost. I'll detail the one I chose and for more head to their very comprehensive website. I got a group of mates together for an 'Iron man 50' karting session 50 minutes of warm up and racing. The cost per person was £50, which is quite expensive, but this is not something you do every weekend. Booked over the phone whilst in Japan they were obliging to process me really quickly, 10% deposit taken and dates confirmed. I also arranged to have trophies presented to the top three winners (out of our group). On the day we arrived we were handed overalls, gloves and hairnets (hygiene). There are lockers on site and it's advised that you use them, becase you will lose your phone to a tire) and after some prep work on flags, which mean stop / go / stop what you're doing / you're out of here you crazy b*stard. We went out for our helmets and a warm up. The track in fantastic. With two bridges and two tunnels it's a decent size. Plus with chicanes and choke points it's real fun with a group of mates. We had a few crashes, but the karts are nice and sturdy (Watch out for the sharp left under the bridge, I almost took a kart in the face). Note* When setting off on the warm up they recommend you leave some distance, between yourself and the car in front, to get a good time. Do it, and go hell for leather, because your best warm up lap will decide where you start on the qualifying grid. The higher up the better. Anyway. The lads and I loved it. We headed to the PPIK bar (plenty of draft beers), received a detailed printout, a good laugh, trophy presentation and a bottle of champagne (on the house) for the winner. Sadly I did not win, but I did get the fastest laptime of 47.600 - if you beat it let me know. A seriously good out!

One of the lads that was racing is a current employee at a different Daytona Venue and that was definitely the reason why I came 7th.

Daytona are a professional setup, keep a handle on things without removing the fun. Think it cost us £50 a head, which got us a few practice laps, and a 40 minute race with each of us pairing up (so 20mins each on the track if you split evenly) and if you came in the top three Karts you got a trophy... I did not get a trophy, but I do not feel bad as my kart came in the middle of our leaderboard, and I also later found out the kart that won, one of the lads has a secret double life of actually racing karts for a team, which I'm sure means in all circles that I was in a professional race as an amateur, yeah that was definitely the reason for my posting. price tag for what is an hours worth of entertainment means it's not something I'd be chomping at the bit to do every week, but certainly as a suggestion for Stag do's and Parties it's definitely there as a top suggestion

I had not a clue that we had just round the corner the largest indoor and ONLY 3 level karting track in the UK. I was blown away as I spent the whole day mindlessly thrashing the kart around the track. Let me tell you, if you ever go, be prepared because it will exhaust the hell out of you, but GOD DAMNNNNN I haven't had so much fun in a long time. There's this one part of the track which had a dip. Now, if you accelerated fast enough after cornering well you could actually lift off and be airborne. That's cool enough but wait there's more...... post lift off and upon landing the rapidly rotating wheels give you a kick up the backside by shooting you down the straight at a rate of knots. Now no matter how many times I did it I couldn't get enough of that...eeeeeeeeeeek If you go with some friends I guarantee this is an absolute delight as a day activity. People get so competitive it's hilarious, myself included. As soon as you've done your allocated number of laps you leap out of your kart and race to the monitors to check your times. The prices are fairly reasonable and I think you can get discounts if you book a group, but if I remember correctly they are in the region of £30+ for an hour. You do find yourself pretending you are Schumacher no matter how hard you try not to. For first timers you have to do timed laps to build up confidence and technique, so you just arrive and drive, which is what we did. However as you get better you can compete in a grand prix style races. Thus in conclusion I recommend you just.....GO GO GO GOOOOOOOOOOO as Murray Walker would say...

There's plenty going on here over the weekends, from Drag racing, Drifting Events to Race what u bring events. This particular day, it was Drift car racing. It costs £5 per adult and kids are free of charge! Not bad if u bring a picnic for a full days entertainment! There's an on site club house that sells snacks and drinks, but it is quite expensive for cans of Fosters (2.50) and Bulmers (3.50), so I suggest you take your own! The race track is great and when the suns out its even better!
