Preferably outdoors, no gear required from us (e.g. just turn up and race).

Just for a few friends at the moment but if it's good then I might ever organise a local PH day/evening out!

That looks superb. Out of interest, do you know if there's ever been any PH events down there?

A couple of years ago Furyblade Lee organised a karting night with various car clubs down there. It was a great night, but I believe he struggled to get paid early on so decided against repeating the event.

Not PH but all you need to do is get a team of 4 drivers together and enter one of the endurance events.

Use this track most of the time as it's cheaper than Buckmore and also a nice circuit.

It's in Sittingbourne on the Eurolink Industrial Estate.

Another vote for Bayford. It has the best catering of any circuit I know of. Their breakfasts are the stuff of legend.

Lakeside Circuit! I've do plenty of karting and have been to lots of tracks - Lakeside is my favourite out of the many different tracks (including Buckmore). Not bad prices there either...

Bayford meadows is a nice circuit. Avoid in the early evening though as I found the sun a little tricky as you come along the start / finish straight. Fine if you know the circuit though.

However I personally prefer Lakeside Karting. Nice little circuit, staff are friendly and the facilities generaly rather good.

I would definitely be interested in a PH karting event, if it was at BuckMore Park, Rye House, or Lakeside.
