- Scenic387064250751 contributionkartingLiterally thought it was great fun. I am 61 came away a little bruised with a sore ankle for a couple of days but no complaints in that department. Over all thought it was a safe environment, The youngsters, including my own, probably through inexperience, or just being over zealous were prone to do the bumping, and not staying wholly within your rules especially at yellow. That said I thought it was a great couple of hours and will be back for more.Hi Thank you for your great review, we truly appreciate it.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Loved the karting, but for a dad to take his 13 year old son for a half hour experience, the total cost was £100.80, which incorporated an online booking fee???? and cheap balaclavas and throw away gloves. This is way too expensive in my opinion and would stop me from visiting again. I even rang a couple of days after the visit, as my son enjoyed it so much, to see if a discount was available to us as repeat customers and was told no, because it was the summer holidays. Bearing in mind there were only 4 of us on the circuit when we visited sorted of negated this excuse.
In summary, a fantastic karting experience, but one which wont be repeated unless the cost is reduced considerably.

A fantastic place for karting. Been taking my son here for the past 8 months and the staff have been amazing with teaching him and helping his progress. This place has brought out a side to my son that I have never seen which has given him focus and made him more driven which has also shown with his school work and brought out the confidence to socialise with the other kids. found the people here exceptional helpful and willing to go the extra mile.

Really disappointed with this company such a poor service provided. A group of friends and I booked to go karting today via a groupon deal we were all super pumped as it’s the first time we are all seeing each other. I wake up to a call from these guys saying they do not have enough space for us and the next available booking is 1st May!! After I said that’s pretty bad how can this happen the girl says to me it’s not our problem you will need to speak to groupon which is just awful! This is not the response you expect from an established company like this. They have completely ruined our day. Literally no empathy from the staff member. Any reasonable company would offer a better solution rather than pushing us back by 4 weeks!

Hi Leanne, I am sorry that you are so disappointed and I have looked into what happened.
The online booking system that is supplied by Groupon to allow you to book online is allowing you to book when the space is not available. We have tried to contact Groupon to resolve the issue, but they are working from home because of the pandemic and almost impossible to get through to.
We did offer to price match your Groupon deal and fit you in at another time, but you were not happy with what we were able to offer you and sought a refund from Groupon. We are happy to honour any deal that you have been offered by Groupon to come karting at some time in the future and if you book directly you will receive first class service and will be able to drive in the race you booked into.
If you would like to book please do not hesitate to call 01277 260001 and speak with one of our booking staff.
Best regards

Brentwood is staffed by friendly and accommodating personnel who are always eager to assist customers and make their experience unforgettable.
Upon arrival, we are always welcomed by the cheerful staff who provide clear instructions and safety information. The track is well-maintained, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
The highlight of Brentwood is, without a doubt, the great racing experience it offers. The track is designed to challenge racers of all levels, with fast corners and hairpin bends that put their skills to the test.
Overall, I highly recommend Brentwood Karting for a fun day out. With its friendly staff, great value for money, and excellent racing experience, it's a place that should not be missed.

Fantastic day, really well organized, with some great racing in my second session - I actually had two sessions during the day, but as there was nobody else on the track with me during the first session, one of the marshal's took the time to help me with some of my racing lines and braking points, which was just brilliant of him, rather than just leave me driving round on my own. My younger sister really enjoyed the less competitive Family Fun Session too. Had a great time - everyone really friendly and helpful and we'll be back! Thanks

It was a blast and the workers at Brentwood karting are so welcoming, informative and friendly. Everyone will feel welcome, also it’s not a scary experience at all it’s quite thrilling, for an extra tenner your whole 30minutes on the track can be recorded by one of their cameras they would fit on to your helmet before you speeding away and that recording would be formatted in a way easily designed to be downloaded on to our phones or laptop to keep as a great memory. I currently have that video and shared it on my social media.
I went with a bunch of mates but next time round I hope to visit with my family as it was a fun and competitive activity I enjoyed my time there and feel they would to.
Thanks a bunch Brentwood Karting Team.

As a Christmas present my 10 year old son and I were given vouchers to go along to Brentwood Karting in Great Warley.
Neither of us had done a Karting event before and for my 10 year old son it was a completely new experience and a great opportunity for us to do something together.
When we arrived we were greeted by a reception team who helped us with the registration process before inviting us to view a video tutorial. After that we got changed into a driving suit and were taken to the go karts.
We only had 15 minutes out on the track for our first go at it but it was plenty for a first outing.
At the end of the 15 minutes we were both handed a graph with statistics for our lap times which was a nice keepsake.
We both enjoyed the experience very much and will be returning soon.
Well done to the team at Brentwood Karting and see you soon.

We had friends visiting us so took them for an outing to brentwood. There were 2 adults and 3 children aged 9 to 14 and everyone had such a good time. The staff were excellent, from reception to pit crew and Marshalls. And we had the added bonus of ogling a De Lorien (back to the future) in the car park

I’ve been racing at Brentwood now for 8 months and the team couldn’t be more helpful from the office staff to the track marshalls. They make you feel welcome and always offer advise and support. The facilities are always clean. The track is fun and somewhere I really enjoy racing at even though Dan gives me a hard time :-)
