Testimonials

We went to Raceworld with family and some friends this afternoon and had a brilliant afternoon on the racetrack - practising, then getting our lap times and finally the 20 lap race around the track. It was awesome. The staff at Raceworld are excellent - professional, polite, engaging and super nice. Medals and fizz at the end too for the winners! Would highly recommend!

Finlay P

Great fun for all, especially on a rainy day. Very knowledgeable and organised crew, clear instructions and a great safety briefing video. Opportunities to learn from any mistakes and how to achieve better results. Love the winners podiums, medals and alcohol free champagne to spray, it makes it extra exciting for participants.
