John Giddings – Founder and Producer of The Isle of Wight Festival:  “My wife keeps telling me I should learn to sail, but the go-kart track at Wight Karting is more my thing — it’s absolutely brilliant.”

Trip Advisor… – “Visited 3 different days during our week on the island. The excellent standard of safety ensures all drivers and spectators have a great time. We were using public transport to get around and with the karting track near to the Tesco superstore, buses were available every 15 minutes. Simplicity itself.”

“Have never been the sort of person to do this sort of activity? I tell you NOW if you’re between 8 and 88 you should have ago! You can be the slowest or the fastest (don’t let your kids show you up) let your hair down you will ENJOY.”

Mr A Davies – Harrow School repeat visitor with school groups: “What a fantastic evening at Wight Karting! Brilliantly organised, really well looked after and the most fun we’ve had in many years!!! Wow, we will be back again and again and again. Thank you.”

Google review has many, as does Trip Advisor.

Brilliant service from start to finish. We called the day before and despite being busy, were scheduled in for the next day. Everyone had a really excellent time and the staff were both enthusiastic and helpful throughout. The experience was very professional with a safety briefing and a track walk with our 28 children beforehand. We liked the screens in the waiting area as this allowed those not racing to stay engaged/occupied whilst not racing

I would like to take this opportunity to say a really big thank you for being part of the diverse selection of activities for our 2018 Activity Allsorts programme! It was a real success and enjoyed by both staff and students alike. In addition to the obvious enjoyment, students were also able to develop, expand and challenge existing skills, develop confidence and make new friends. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Students love it! Especially getting dressed up in all the racing gear and having their photos taken on the track and on the podium. Wight Karting is such a great experience and amazing value for money, so much so we’ve had students pay to go twice in their three weeks here!

– Education First (EF)

Our Scout group really enjoyed the thrill & speed of trying something they wouldn’t normally get the opportunity to do. They had such an amazing time, with plenty of time on the track to perfect the ultimate driving line! The staff were so accommodating for our group, ranging from ages 8 to adults.

– Eastbourne Scouts

Adrenaline fun. Great school visit was enjoyed by our pupils many thanks to all the staff who went out of their way to make a big event from a very small priced package. Definitely school friendly.
