NEW! - KIDS INDOOR GOKARTING PARTY AT GREENWICH DOCKLANDS

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Due to popular demand we have introduced kids Gokarting parties at the Greenwich Docklands Raceway.

We now have avaialble GoKarting party packages for two age ranges.

Firstly, the  Cadet  Karting party accomodates the ages 6 to 10 year olds (so that is a Primary School group).
Secondly the  Junior  Karting party caters for 11 to 16 year olds (so that is a Senior school group).

The facilities are unsurpassed in the UK, so if you really want to impress your school mates, this is the place to race.

The karts have been especially tailored for each age range and the 400 metre track means every karter will experience everything you would expect from a karting track, turns, overtaking straights and tunnels.  The track is great and even longer than some Adult tracks we know of.

You will get an hours worth of track time and each child will get at least 30 minutes of time behind the wheel.  All laps times are recorded and presented to each driver once the party has finished.

As the track is Indoor you get all the benefits of having an Indoor karting party - most importantly, a dry experience.

With plenty of parking on site and a refreshments cafe available trackside, you will not have a worry once you have booked your exclusive Kids GoKarting party.

The fun is fast, it is safe and the venue is unique.  Give it a go, please call us on 020 8859 4545 to book your gokarting kids event.

To take a look at more of the details feel free to check out the new page on our website - Greenwich Gokarting for KIDS.

BANK & BROKERS GOKARTING RESULTS AT DOCKLANDS RACEWAY

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

What a highly entertaining evening was had by all.

The Heats proved to be fast and furious.  All racers were in high spirits.  Some of the overtaking manoeuvres even surprised our Race Directors, Peter and Luke.

27 races and 6 black flags later the overall winning teams were announced.

1st : BGC Partners Team 3 - Some fine gokarting displayed and all 3 team members made it to the finals, which ultimately proved to be the deciding factor.  This was a great demonstration of team skills by - Ian, Andrew and Alex.

3rd : BGC Partners Team 6 - who just edged a tight finish above Kartastrophy.

That was not all, the Individual GoKarting prize went to Andrew Wooley who won the Grand Final showing you don’t have to be Pole or Provisional Pole position to win a race.

Finally, the fastest lap of the night went to Darren Ilsley from the Kartastrophy team - see him here with his WWW.GOKARTING.CO.UK Kart Trophy.  His team name almost predicted it!

It was a closely competed event but the team who managed to get all three of their team members through to the final races won the overall Team event - a tip for next time maybe.

For those of you at Tradition.com your teams finished 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th.

New Edge Group stayed just above FSA.

This is a friendly blog but lets say FSA were the strongest team in the pack - holding the others up.

A big thank you goes to Jim and Anna from Accomplish Management for organising the competition.  Equal thanks goes to St. James’s Place Wealth Management and Haibun Partners for their generous sponsorship.

Well it would be great to see you all again in the near future.

GOKARTING.CO.UK - the best London venue?

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

We often get asked - you have a wide choice of tracks, which one is the best London GoKarting venue?  Its difficult to give a definitive answer to such a question because each venue offers its own variety of fast & furious GoKarting fun.

After reviewing feedback from our GoKarting clients over the past year, we reckon the Greenwich Docklands venue comes top.  In fact, we are told we dont let people know just how impressive the venue is.  The overwhelming view is that the Greenwich Docklands venue is a special place to go karting.  From the initial call to check availability through to the trophy presentation, feedback is very positive.

Once you arrive and step into the door at Greenwich Docklands you realise the event going to be special, that the karting is going to be superb and the entertainment is going to be memorable.  With Formula One race helmets and racesuits on display it is easy to connect GOKARTING with past and present Formula One drivers.  Lewis Hamilton is receiving lots of media coverage and immediately the link with GoKarting and his past is highlighted.

GREENWICH DOCKLANDS GOKARTING RECEPTION AREA

Once you have changed into your freshly laundered racesuit it is time to receive your safety instructions in the especially tailored Briefing room.  Once you have been told how to drive your kart safely you make your way to the circuit.

The indoor track is vast and the huge spectators area is great for watching all of the racing.  Here you will find the trackside Cafe and the 8 overhead screens showing just how well your now opponents are getting on.

With a unique lighting system above the whole of the track you know you are in for a treat.  The Race formats differ according to group size and we at http://www.gokarting.co.uk/ can discuss your best option.
