Championships and races for enthusiasts
- for individuals and teams of friends

If you've been indoor karting before, or you've tried an adult karting session at Three Sisters, and if you're looking for the next step up the karting ladder, we have four formats of enthusiasts' karting events on offer to satisfy your inner-racer's craving for adrenalin.

All races form part of their own championship but you are welcome to enter individual races as and when you choose - you don't have to take part in complete championships if you don't want to. Hone and test your skills against others of similar ability - perfect for drivers who love the excitement and competition of out-and-out racing.
