Best Go Karting in the South?

[M400DPC]

Near Southampton,Bournemouth or Winchester would be ideal !

There is indoor karting in Eastleigh which is pretty much deserted during the week - last time we turned up, the 2 of us had the track to ourselves:

Thruxton has outdoor karting which is a lot better than the indoor option except if it decides to piss it down down half way though and you have nothing to change into afterwards

Thruxton looks like a good bet. Nice one.

Clay Pigeon - Dorchester area

Outdoor track and fast karts, its an official karting race track across UK for the championships as well.

I also like eastleigh....it has a bridge!

Clay pidgeon is a very fast outdoor track

Imho Wessex is the best indoor one, can't comment on clay as I've never been there but thruxton is excellent. Did matchams once and never again, more like a 4x4 course than kart.

Definately Thruxton or Clay Pigeon for 'proper karting' but if it rains it is an issue at Thruxton as they leave slick tyres on the karts so it is like driving on ice, i am unsure if that is the same at CP

Had a wet day of karting at thruxton (well started sodden and was dry by the last session)

Myself and 1 or two others were the only ones that managed a whole lap without an off

Its a good laugh though if you're not worried about being technically good. Terminal understeer followed by a snap into oversteer which can be held under power on some of the longer bends.

Excellent in doors track - even though my mate managed to lose a wheel going around

Indoor I would say Eastliegh. Outdoor I would say Thruxton. Wessex is a bit "corners for corner's sake" for me.
