Make sure you've got good shoes on and comfortable clothing, this is a great workout, especially for the baby boomer generation. The track was very dry the day we climbed the mount, ergo it was quite slippery, and we had to watch our step going up. The views once you reach the summit are stunning. The sense of achievement feels pretty good too! Going down, we chose the steep steps which were also a challenge, and our thighs felt it the following day. Overall a great experience!

Great Track, Karts reasonably quick for this circuit, awesome family fun, they were extremely busy so recommend booking to secure your race, our start time was delayed and they gave us the option of cancelling with full refund or extending our race time for free, we chose later, glad we did, had a great time even though my 24 year old son beat me by seconds, will have to have a rematch now!
