Grand prix karting at nationally acclaimed circuit Buckmore Park, ideal for groups.
From the moment you arrive at Buckmore Park, you know you are somewhere special and unique. The exhilaration of the dramatic downhill Symes Sweep, the thrill of the demanding Paddock Bend, followed by the adverse camber of Garda Curve and the challenge of the two famous hairpins – this is a true MSA licensed circuit guaranteed to get your adrenalin pumping. What better way to experience all the circuit has to offer than a grand prix karting event complete with practice laps, heats, grand final and presentation ceremony?

Before they were famous, motor racing stars including Jenson Button, Anthony Davidson, Johnny Herbert and Lewis Hamilton honed their driving skills at Buckmore Park. Even Prince William and Prince Harry were regulars at this circuit in their younger days!

Following registration for the grand prix karting event and a full safety briefing from experienced driving instructors, Stag parties will take part in a practice session, followed by at least three point scoring heats. The driving event culminates in the grand finals followed by a trophy and bubbly presentation on Buckmore Park’s famous podium. Your grand prix karting experience finishes with a pay bar in the exclusive Sisley Suite where Stag parties continue, enjoying post race banter.

A typical grand prix karting event is as follows:

5:45pm Arrival and registration
6:15pm Safety briefing
6:45pm Practice, three heats & final for all drivers
9:55pm Presentation ceremony
10:00pm Post grand prix karting bar
11:00pm Finish
