I went with my 10 year old Grandson - who has never done anything like this before, having been made very welcome from the the very start. We had a vey informative induction giving us site and cart rules of what to do and not to do, Then it was time to get our suits on. after the checks by staff to make sure all correct then time to race, again staff showing us how to work the controls inside the cart then off we went, my Grandson struggled and return to the pit lane after one lap but with the help and confidence boost by the excellent staff off he went again and no more problems with him and he loved it. A FANTASIC AFTERNOON

Thanks for the fantastic review Colin, we really do try our best to encourage and educate the young and old to have the best time on track while being as safe as possible. Its always a bonus when we get a young one confident to have a try and it was great to see him have a blast after the track staff encouraged him back out on track.
Thanks again for the kind words and hope to see you all again soon!

Fantastic family experience!
*Booking: Very easy, lovely friendly phone call, everything was explained, paid the deposit for 1 hour exclusive hire for 12 people and it was all sorted.
*On arrival: Plenty of parking, friendly staff, paid the remainer and went off for the sefety briefing. Great briefing, informative but light hearted. The delivery of all the information was very clear and he made sure we all knew what was expected. I felt confident that my family were in good hands!
*Gear: They all got geared up, it had been raining for what felt like weeks so it was wet coveralls but they were all in good condition as were the helmets.
*Driving: We were a group of siblings and partners aged 28 - 14 and they all absolutly loved it! They were split into 2 groups each getting alternate 13ish miniutes on the track. After each session they were presented with a print out showing their times and fastest lap we had great fun looking at these and comparing the results. The marshalls were very relaxed and fun but also professional ensuring everyone was safe.
* Overall: We had a fantastic time, I cannot paise the staff enough, they were kind, funny, friendly and safe, we will definatly be coming back! Thank you very much, we are so glad we chose to use our family Christmas gift with KartTrak Cromer!

I was gifted a one on one coaching class with Jack Tritton as a birthday present and what a present it turned out to be. A day after winning the British Superkart championship Jack could've been forgiven for being slightly off his game but that couldn't have been further from truth. From start to finish the day was an absolute joy with Jack pointing out my many flaws and offering so much advice and help that my lap times were reduced by 2 whole seconds bringing me down from a 33.6 to a 31.6! He pushed me to my absolute limits yet only ever gave me enough information that he judged my brain could handle. The confidence he gave after each debriefing and insights into where I was going wrong were utterly priceless and I can't thank him enough. If you ever want to find improvements in your own driving I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. I will take the teachings with me as I go forward now confident in my ability to make a gokart go where I want at speeds I never dreamed possible. It is now clear to my why Jack has just become a British Champion. Make use of his abilities and soak up all of his vast racing knowledge. You won't regret it. All of the staff at Kart Trak Cromer made me feel welcome and thoroughly looked after all day. Special mention must go to Kevin and Darren who came out from behind the scenes and were both awesome. Thank you for a truly fantastic day

This was a really fun experience. We were a group of six adults, some of us had karted before and a couple were completely new to it. I was absolutely petrified! The session was really professionally handled, we were given very clear instructions and most importantly safety was taken very seriously by all the staff. We all loved it, some were more competitive than others and because of all the encouragement and reassurance I was given by the staff, I not only loved it but managed to speed up a little! I highly recommend a visit to KartTrak Cromer. Ps We all loved Dexter the dog

Great track from a seasoned and professional motorsport family. The circuit and facilities were immaculately presented, with a great track team. Giving an excellent guide to the track and the current conditions. In between sessions a quick debrief and opportunity to improve times… for some! Probably the best karting track we have been to! If you like karting, you will love the track here at Cromer.

The ages are 11 and 12 and we're taken to the viewing area out of the way of a large group of adults having a great day out.
The encouragement from all the safe to both the boys was brilliant.
What a well managed company and a great group of people, the younger lads that work there, you are doing a great job well mannered and respectfull.
A fantastic day had by all.

Travelled to Karttrak today with our family, the team made our time there truly brilliant.
I have mobility issues and although my disability limits me in a few areas, the team at Karttrak helped make one of the best experiences I've had out on track in a long time.
I really appreciated the help from Ash and Nick into and out of the kart, having people like them at Karttrak is a true credit to business.
Kevin also took the time to assist after our time on track ended and we're already making plans to return after these individuals created a great welcoming and supportive day for the whole family. Thank you

Our 10 year old son, was incredibly keen to try karting. We chose KartTrak Cromer as we had heard wonderful things about the place and especially the staff.
Little did we know just how exceptional the whole experience and the team at KartTrak Cromer were going to be.
As parents we were very nervous, Joseph is 10 and has never been in a go kart. The idea of him hurtling around a track in a go kart was exciting for sure, but we were cautious.
Upon arrival we were greeted with a smile, we were a little early and some other people were already zooming around the track, so we went to watch them. A couple of them on track were bumping into each other, but we were delighted that when they came in, one of the team, spoke to them as a group, advised them that it was not on, and they were told if they did not follow the rules they would not be able to continue. They were firm, fair and to the point, we loved that, it was very reassuring for us as family.
This was very reassuring as Joseph was going out in an arrive and drive slot, so he would be on track with other drivers. We had been assured also when booking, that Joseph would be in a session with drivers of similar capabilities.
Joseph went for a briefing with Ash, who went through everything in great detail, about the track, safety, the different flags, the pedals and how to use the kart. He said to Joseph, as it was his first time, he talked through taking it easy and building up slowly. Joseph was nervous going into the briefing, but came out still nervous, but confident to what he needed to do.
He was helped getting his equipment together, and the team made sure he had the right helmet and it was secure. Out to the kart. This was the most nervous moment for us a parents. He was going on track with five other drivers. Nick, talked to Joseph at his kart. Nick adjusted the seat, the pedals, and he gave Joseph a further briefing. This extra time was simply amazing. Joseph said after that he made him feel extra safe, he made sure Joseph was sat correctly, and the kart was bespoke to Joseph. He also reiterated the briefing and took his time. Joseph really appreciated this, and he said it made him feel extra confident.
The session was split into two fifteen minute sessions, the first session, then a briefing, then the second.
After the first session, Jack came over and spoke directly to Joseph, spoke about his lap times, how they improved and he was regularly improving his times. Jack was very kind in taking time, he was so encouraging and helpful, guiding and boosting Joseph's already soaring confidence. The whole team had the same philosophy and were willing all those on track to have fun firstly, but then find the extras seconds and tenths to beat their previous time. Joseph was determined to beat his time in the second session.
Watching Joseph go out for the second session, you could see already he was full of confidence, and when he came in he was beaming, he absolutely loved it. Jack again came over and spoke about times, and Joseph absolutely smashed his times from the first session. He was so happy with his time, so delighted with the whole experience.
Thank you Jack, Nick, Ash, Kev and the whole team. What a team, what a place!
I cannot say enough, just how much we as a family we would recommend KartTrak Cromer. It far exceeded our expectations, and the whole experience was magical and wonderful. We will be back, it was simply a truly fantastic session.
Thank you all,
Dominic, Hayley, Louis and the biggest thanks for all from Joseph, see you all soon.

Thanks for the amazing, well written review that really encompasses the whole Karttrak Cromer Experience in a nutshell!
We work really hard to make this a safe friendly and fun experience so its brilliant to hear such kind words and thank you so much for taking the time to write this for us.
Safety is our number one priority and it was great to read that this was observed in the right way as a positive rather than a negative that some drivers can take it as.
Glad Joseph had a great time and it was lovely to see you all!
Come back soon!

We visited last week for the first time and was very impressed. Good parking, a friendly welcome and an excellent safety briefing. Once out on the track the 15mins soon passed and I am glad we booking two sessions which with a break in between made it a really nice fun experience.
You don't have to be a 'boy racer' to enjoy the day we just went at our pace and slowly improved as time went on which was confirmed with the printout given after each session.
We would definitely come back for another session.
