View Full Version : Karting in Sheffield - anywhere? underreview 26-08-2007, 17:54 Is there any go kart tracks in Sheffield? rosie 26-08-2007, 18:02 There is a karting track at hillsbrough near the ski village.:) *_ash_* 26-08-2007, 18:12 There is a karting track at hillsbrough near the ski village.:) Yep, up past the Farfield Pub, and up the hill. It's a pretty good track too. MuteWitness 26-08-2007, 18:25 And its called parkwood karting www.parkwoodkarting.co.uk fredsredhat 26-08-2007, 18:49 parkwood karting is very good but pfi karting is the best kart track i've ever been to. http://www.tvkc-pfi.co.uk It's not cheap but they do a 100 lap endurance at £160 per kart. (i won a trophy:) ) It's a fair drive but well worth it. squeezy 26-08-2007, 20:56 theres one nr costco just off the parkway MuteWitness 26-08-2007, 21:28 parkwood karting is very good but pfi karting is the best kart track i've ever been to. http://www.tvkc-pfi.co.uk It's not cheap but they do a 100 lap endurance at £160 per kart. (i won a trophy:) ) It's a fair drive but well worth it. That looks like some circuit! I might have won a trophy if your brother hadn't took me out on the last lap! Not that am bitter! :hihi: m^rk 26-08-2007, 22:59 parkwood karting is very good but pfi karting is the best kart track i've ever been to. http://www.tvkc-pfi.co.uk It's not cheap but they do a 100 lap endurance at £160 per kart.

Can Anyone have ago at that 100 lap Endurance race because i would love to have ago at that. fredsredhat 27-08-2007, 15:20 yeah its open to everyone, but you'll find cos of the price it's mostly works outings. quite a few pro's go there too to put a few laps in. you'll need at least 2 to a team cos there has to be a minimum of 7 driver changes. I'll put £80 up for a share of the ride :) probedb 27-08-2007, 16:11 And its called parkwood karting www.parkwoodkarting.co.uk I did like this track :) Nice downhill straight into a tight hairpin. They had one dodgy cart tho where the accelerator was at an angle making it difficult to use properly.....that's my excuse as to why I lost and I'm sticking to it :hihi: bkcin 27-08-2007, 17:40 This one isn't in Sheffield but its not far away (in notts) www.lkqc.com I have been here loads and always have a great time. The new 270cc Karts that they recently got go like stink. MuteWitness 27-08-2007, 17:58 they sound fun 270cc - but with the track been indoor do they have to be speed restricted? Ginner 27-08-2007, 20:11 yeah its open to everyone, but you'll find cos of the price it's mostly works outings.... That does look like a nice circuit. Do they do any other formats (different differnces, Grand Prix's, Endurance etc? - although I reckon 100 laps is probably endurance!) It's a little closer than Ancaster Kart Racing (http://www.ancasterkarting.co.uk/), where I've been several times, and can also thoroughly recommend. Worth the drive down there. Trust me, once you've had a go at outdoor Karting round a decent track with decent karts you'll never look at indoor again. bkcin 28-08-2007, 09:27 they sound fun 270cc - but with the track been indoor do they have to be speed restricted? The top speeds are restricted, but you can still get up to about 50mph down the straight. They used to have 200cc Honda Biz karts and you can definitly tell the difference in speed in these new ones. They are apparently the fastest indoor karts in the UK.

I'll put £80 up for a share of the ride :) If m^rk gets back to you i wouldn't mind a share of the driving as well if you could get 3 or 4 people as we don't all have high paying jobs!:hihi: fredsredhat 30-08-2007, 18:23 Sorry you can't come (cos she's faster than me ha ha ha ) Ghozer 30-08-2007, 18:53 theres one up city road, a left turn off... not far from the top of granville road (to to the top, turn right.. i think its sign posted) M.Alllen 11-05-2009, 12:04 theres one nr costco just off the parkway is this the indoor 1 near macro?do you know what it's called .can't seem to pull it's site up. pem123 11-05-2009, 12:56 Another vote for Parkwood from me. Been twice and won both times :) |
