Minor Licensing Courses
12 to 15 year olds (Rental Karts)
5 to 9 year olds (Kid Kart)
12 to 15 year olds must complete a minor licensing course if they want to take part in regular rental sessions. The course is made up of three 15 minute lapping sessions with an instructor. If the driver comes through it successfully, they will be issued with a license and allowed to take part in regular rental sessions.
5 to 9 year olds will be best fitted to our kid kart. They must also complete a minor licensing course, which involves a braking exercise, followed by a slalom course. From there, drivers will complete a 10 minute lead-follow session with an instructor. If they come through this, they will be issued with a license and allowed to take part in regular kid kart lapping sessions.
Price: $100
