πŸ† Funzaroo Verdict

Families with children who want a genuine karting circuit rather than a leisure-centre track will find the driving quality here hard to beat. Staff actively help younger or beginner drivers during sessions, making it accessible for children. The access road is a consistent issue β€” drive slowly and expect rough ground on the approach.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Drive very slowly on the access road β€” pothole damage is severe and can affect cars and trailers
⏰The cafe is open on weekends only β€” bring snacks or a packed lunch for weekday visits
🎟️Staff will help younger drivers during sessions between faster kart groups
πŸš—Arrive-and-drive sessions are available without advance booking at quieter times

β€œ2024 and 5 years later and it's still like driving over the moon trying to get on site, the toilets however have had their 2019 refurbishment..... **-Original Review-** Great little track Staff on track are friendly (helped us getting out little one out for sessions between the faster karts) Β£50 full day, Β£40 half day (non members) Toilets are on site but cafe only open weekends My only gripe is, it's like driving over the moon getting into the siteπŸŒ™ with some potholes deep enough to swallow 10" trailer wheels and ground the trailer chassis”

β€œFantastic service from David and Terry today. They identified an electrical issue on my boy’s kart, but more importantly a potential engine seizing issue. Very astute and professional analysis from the guys that has saved us a fortune. Thumbs up from us for Modus Motorsport.”

β€œGreat place. Great track. Cafe food was good and quite a bit of choice. Only downside was the road getting to track but the recent weather has destroyed it. They did do work on it back in November so not like they ain't tried to sort.”
