For those in the North East looking for some exciting karting action on a split-level circuit within easy reach of the major towns look no further than F1Karting. The track is part of the F1K group who know a thing or two about putting on a good event and the go kart track is maintained to their usual high standards. Like their other two venues (Leicestershire and Heathrow) the track is on two levels with a 12 foot high second level and 150 foot bridge section, which gives an average lap time of around 35 seconds.

Catering can be provided and is up to the usual high standard that can be expected from the F1k Group and the track welcomes juniors from the age of 8, stag and hen parties, schools and social clubs as well as the regular enthusiast.
