🏁 2-Day Kids Karting Beginner Introductory Academy Program Partnered with XLR8

Following the Day 1 assessment, if our coaching team feels your child would benefit from additional preparation before driving on track, Day 2 will be adapted to include simulator and off-track training. This allows your child to continue developing skills, confidence, and understanding in a safe and supportive environment while progressing at their own pace.

We understand that family schedules can change. If space is available, we will gladly work with you to move your Day 1 session to another academy date. We simply ask that you contact us as early as possible so we can plan staffing and kart availability accordingly.

Our academy continues throughout the karting season (weather permitting). During the 2-day introductory program, we will discuss the next steps that best suit your child’s interests and development. Options may include regular weekly training sessions, private coaching, or progression into our next-level academy program. Some families attend 2–3 times per week during the summer and 1–2 times per week once school resumes.

Participants only need to bring comfortable, lightweight clothing and well-fitting, closed-toe running or everyday athletic shoes.

We provide all required karting safety equipment, including:

• Racing suit
• Helmet
• Gloves
• Neck safety device
• Rib protector

This is very common, especially for first-time drivers. Our coaches are experienced in helping young children feel comfortable and confident at their own pace. If a child is not yet ready for on-track driving, we can focus on simulator training and off-track activities that build confidence in a fun, low-pressure environment.

Yes. We require at least one parent or legal guardian to remain trackside with their child for the duration of the program.

Absolutely. This academy is designed to introduce both young drivers and
their families to karting. Parents are encouraged to be part of the
experience—helping with gear, observing track sessions, and attending
debriefs. Where appropriate, we may invite parents to assist with simple
tasks so you better understand how everything works.

In most cases, this is not an issue. We can usually accommodate a wide range of driver sizes by selecting the appropriate seat and making ergonomic adjustments to ensure a safe and comfortable driving position.

We operate rain or shine, provided conditions remain safe. In fact, driving in the rain can be a valuable and enjoyable learning experience for new drivers. Wet-weather karting helps develop important vehicle-control skills.

If weather conditions become unsafe—such as lightning, standing water, or other severe conditions—we may temporarily pause on-track activities, switch to simulator training, or reschedule the affected portion of the program.

We understand that circumstances can change and aim to be as accommodating as possible. If a scheduled date needs to be adjusted, we will work with families to find a suitable alternative whenever possible.

If a child is not ready for on-track driving, their training time will be converted to simulator and off-track instruction so they can continue progressing safely and effectively.

Please contact us directly regarding specific cancellation, rescheduling, or refund requests, and we will do our best to find a fair solution.
