DAYSOUT A FUN NEW KARTING ADVENTURE at Buckmore Park Buckmore Park Kart Circuit may have reached the grand old age of 50 in 2013, but it won’t surprise many people to learn that this iconic venue is still in the prime of life, especially with the addition of a new circuit this spring. The new circuit comes complete with gradient, hairpin bends and a fast straight. In fact, it takes after Buckmore’s international circuit – the very circuit on which such legends as Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton learnt their craft as youngsters. Families will also have the opportunity to book an exclusive session on the circuit, which means the long running debate over whether father or son is quicker, and can big sister overtake, can finally be settled. Of course, there are a few rules, but for the first time families can race it out in a safe environment. The new circuit is designed to cater for the ever-expanding demand for simple ‘Turn Up ‘n’ Drive’ karting for ages 8 years and over. The circuit is open most weekends and during school holidays, but do check online for opening times and prices at www.buckmore4kids.co.uk.
