Go karting in Teesside
Welcome to the world's longest kart circuit, managed by the current owners since 1998. Previously called Langburgh Circuit, it has since become the home of the British 24-hour kart race and has been developed into a multipurpose venue for karts, bikes and cars. Our karts are hand-built racing karts, built to give you the full experience of speed, reaching up to 60mph hour on the long straights of the Teesside Circuit. As the home of the Pro-Kart and the 24-hour race, we are uniquely placed to give you the thrill of karting at the highest level.
Open from Wednesdays to Sundays
Teesside Autodrome operates seven days a week with karting ruling the roost from Wednesdays to Sundays. On a typical weekend we will run an average of 15 Iron Man races with between 15-35 drivers from all over the country. That’s a staggering 1,200 individual drivers racing every month, and the numbers keep adding up. Over 2,400 minutes of endurance racing takes place over a busy month, 60 sets of trophies are given out, and 200 early-bird breakfasts are served. Needless to say, all this experience leads to an enviable safety record and happy customers.
Popular Activities at Teesside Karting
Arrive and Drive Karting
Arrive and Drive is the easiest way to enjoy your first karting experience, or for seasoned drivers, to have a quick blast around the track with friends. With 'Adult-Only', 'Kids-Only' and 'Family Sessions' running every week, getting your karting fix couldn't be easier. All sessions need to be pre-booked so call us on 01642 231117 to book your slot. Every session starts with a face-to-face induction/refresher explaining how the karts work, as well as the basics of racing lines and karting etiquette. We have karts for all ages and sizes, 8 years and up.
Children's Parties
What better way to celebrate a child's birthday than with some track time and cake at our Teesside outdoor racing circuit! Young drivers aged eight to fifteen years can experience karting in a safe and secure environment, where professional instruction and help is on hand at all times. We have everything you need to give children a day out they're not likely to forget in a hurry, whilst as parents, you can watch your budding racing champions from a purpose-built area, or enjoy some light refreshments or home-made food in our café.
The Iron Man Challenge
Experience the thrill of endurance karting through our three formats of Iron Man race, lasting between 40 and 90 minutes plus practice. As an individual you can join an Iron Man Classic race that is already taking place on most Saturdays and Sundays, or as a group you can start your own race, such as our Iron Man Classic 20/40 endurance from £65 per driver. Every race is then open for smaller groups to join, up to a maximum of 35 drivers. This concept of adding groups together makes for a much more exciting race for all involved.
