Big news from Club100 😮👇

User

Without doubt the best circuit in the UK. Awesome facitilities, fast karts and friendly staff.

User

What a wicked night out, I will be doing it again & recommend this to anyone!

User

We introduced our 6 year old to Go-Karting for the first time. Lessons 1 & 2 - the instructors were brilliant. The kids could take their time in learning. Instructors were firm but understanding. Can not wait to go back and see him do it again. Only one bad thing I wish they would do Bambino things more often not just on school holidays.

User

We had a great afternoon at Buckmore Park. Friendly, welcoming staff it was really professional with a lot of fun.

User

Was amazing with the man we took, 88 and loved go karting ��

User

Jones & Son team race yesterday.

First time Rod and I had been to Buckmore Park Kart Circuit. Brilliant time..very exciting and everyone was so friendly and supportive. Thank you!

User

It all started back in July with my brother in laws, we booked the 45 min endurance race, that was my first time karting, loved it and have since completed more 45 events, practices and now the F1 challenge. It's a great circuit, every event is fantastically organised and the staff are first class. Couldn't recommend the place highly enough .

User

I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening here. The facilities are excellent- lockers, catering, and the provision of balaclavas & rib protectors is a nice touch. The pre-race briefing was informative and the karts were quick. Having timing screens visible to the drivers on track is useful. I expect that the rules for Driving Standards were being relaxed because of the heavy rain during my visit, but the marshalling was first rate.

Karting as a hobby isn't cheap, and I was previously under the impression that Buckmore Park was an expensive place to do it. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it really is comparable to other circuits, and with all the facilities onsite, it becomes better value than elsewhere.

I look forward to my next visit, and will recommend to others

I attended the Missed Apex Podcast karting event today at Buckmore and I just needed to say: aside from the circuit itself being excellent beautifully presented, the karts were fantastic and the staff were all excellent. Great race directing with just the right amount of ‘benefit of the doubt’ given to drivers in racing and track limit calls. Really great stuff Buckmore �

User

Great place, the kids love it. We visit here a couple of times a year :)

User

Good, clean and friendly

User

Buckmore Park Kart Circuit is definitely one of my favourite kart racing circuits in the UK because it is really good and one of the very best! Amazing track which is simply breath taking because of the uphill and downhill nature of the circuit! The facilities are excellent and the staff are nice and friendly and the latest SODI RT8 karts are very good too!

User

Booked a practise session for a mate and me; was good value given the standard of the track, and all aspects of the experience from arrival, registration and equipment issue were excellent. Given it was 'just' a practise session, the briefing was the best I've seen - not just a simple video, but a well delivered presentation.

Pair all the above with the fact this is one of the best tracks in the country and it makes for an excellent experience!

Returning for an endurance race next month - can't wait!

User

Great wet night, well run. However, disappointed with the gift card I was using. £50 gift card, track time was £40 but couldn't use the remaining for refreshments etc. £10 wasted, thanks Buckmore......

User

Great track and great fun. Facilities could be kept cleaner especially when price is taken into consideration that or bring the prices down.

Is a pain to get to if you wish to go on public transport. Car park is just about big enough though.

User

very hot when your a chef in the kitchen did not see or know much else about the place because I was there to cook

User

I've been to Buckmore park on several occasions and found the facilities and staff brilliant. Customer service and the track is 2nd to none.....but come down tonight for my son's 13th birthday party. Firstly, I do appreciate that it is December. The track was unfortunately like a sheet of glass. In my view, it was unraceable. The Marshall went out in his cart to check the conditions and span out on the track several times going at a speed of no more than 10-15mph, prior to the boys going out. The boys were allowed out but just could not race regardless of them going at a snail's pace. The experience was red lighted at least 15 times in the 30 minute experience. Yes, I would have been disappointed if Buckmore would have cancelled and had to reschedule however would have completey understood in the Arctic conditions. I felt more disappointed that the kids had an awful time on a track that at best could be best described as an Ice Skating ring.

User

Very, very disappointed with Buckmore Park today. I called and asked to change from one time to another, on the same day. The session is for my 9 year old Son and cost £25, yet you expect me to pay £15 "admin charge", simply to change sessions? This is frankly, a bloody rip off and you should be ashamed. How can it possibly cost £15 to press a button on a computer? What a sad lack of care you are showing to customers.

User

I hope they will start to maintain the bambino karts and all kids will have equal race on the day. For the price we pay I would expect that all karts checked before the race day. We do go to different tracks and we pay much less but at least the karts a more or less equal. A bit disappointed...
