We were here for the Cadet Race school and it was a fantastic day – with plenty of time on track, some decent karts, backed up by very capable and enthusiastic instructors, marshals and front of house staff.

Have already booked my youngest for the same event when he’s old enough and looking forward to the competition in the championships soon.

My 14-year-old son spent the day at Daytona at the Junior Race School. He loved every minute of it. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the whole day was well organised. They had 6 karting sessions interspersed with tuition and lunch. The last two races were on the larger Grand Prix track. There were good spots around some of the track to watch from, so was able to take lots of photos. I liked that there was coffee, snacks and picnic tables for parents to sit and watch undercover too.

Me and my friends took part in their 3 hour endurance today at Sandown Park and it was easily the best endurance race we have been to. Karts were reliable and even, staff were friendly and the organisation of the day was on point. Definitely will be coming again.

Raced in the 3 hour endurance race with 2 friends as a team. The whole thing was really well organised from start to finish. Really friendly welcoming and professional staff. the right amount of realising it`s supposed to be fun as well as making sure everyone is safe. Competitive fun and fast karts.

Perfect 8yr old birthday party. First time karters. Team were super organised and relaxed, very kind atmosphere. Not remotely competitive in a good way. Site was clean and professional. Box fresh balaclavas, clean and dry overalls PLUS additional waterproof suit in the rain. Kids were damp (spare clothes recommended) but never cold or soaked despite heavy rain.

Briefed the kids well, live commentator was kind, pointing out what was going well for drivers, no banter (that could have been taken badly). The kids were happy and tired when they finished. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Daytona Go Karting! From start to finish, the staff were outstanding and incredibly patient. It all began with a phone call to Alex, who took the time to clearly explain the booking process and answer all of my questions with great care. His professionalism and friendly attitude set the tone for the entire visit. I explained my son has autism and will need extra patience and Alex was very supportive and reassuring and described all the ways they could help.

Once we arrived, the man who handled the safety demo was equally impressive. His patience and calm demeanor helped ease any nervousness we had, especially for my child, who took much longer than all the other children to put his helmet on as this was a huge trigger for him.

The support continued with the amazing Monty on the track. I cannot thank him enough for the way he took care of my son, he gave him the space and guidance to enjoy the experience fully, with a complete understanding of how my son needed to be communicated with. His demeanour was superior to many experienced staff in my son’s previous mainstream school! Very very impressive!!

This was more than just a fun day of go-karting—it was a positive, memorable experience that meant so much to us. We will definitely be back, and I highly recommend Daytona Go Karting to anyone, especially families with children who may need a little extra care and patience. Thank you, Daytona team, for going above and beyond!

Been here many times, always a great experience. Amazing track and the team are the most professional around. This past weekend we had arranged for a private event to celebrate a birthday. With 16 of us, the team did a great job. Special S/O to Nic who is always very friendly and has a lot of experience in the karts!

Fun kart circuit located inside a fantastic racecourse. Ideal atmosphere, relax, no particular noise. Asphalt with excellent grip… The route is fun and very varied, not boring at all. I tried the 4 stroke, the engine is quite powerful, not like a 2 stroke, but enough to have fun and at the same time start learning. Excellent quality of the tires and the Kart in general.

This was my first visit to Daytona and it was fantastic. The staff were very friendly on arrival and checked us all in. Once we were suited up we watched the safety video on all the do’s and don’ts of the track and the go karts. We then got our helmets on and went out to the track and to the karts. The staff on the track were excellent and any spin offs were straight on it to slow everyone down and make sure the drivers are ok, luckily we didn’t have to many. There were 10 in our group which was perfect. We did an evening session with the flood lights and the weather was dry too. I would recommend this to anyone. This was a great experience and I will be back.

We had an unforgettable time at Daytona Sandown Park! The track was thrilling and well-maintained, offering a great challenge for both beginners and experienced drivers. The staff were professional, safety briefings were clear, and the equipment was in top condition. We raced against each other and had a great time comparing our lap times. The venue was organised, and there was a great atmosphere throughout. Highly recommended for a competitive and fun day out with friends — we’ll definitely be coming back!

My son took part in the Race School 26th August. I have to say it was a pleasure to have met such wonderful staff, the ladies on the front desk were all really helpful and made sure everyone was looked after and Alex was superb too. I have to mention a young gentleman called Ollie. He was one of the tutors on the track. He is a credit to your company. Well mannered, happy to help, advise and generally a nice man. Please thank him and the whole team from us, we had a great day!

Brought my team from work to Daytona Sandown Park and it was a superb experience. Friendly check in, safety briefing wasn’t too long but covered everything we needed to know. The karts were incredible, spotlessly clean and great fun to drive.

The podium presentation at the end was brilliant and wrapped things up nicely. They also took photos of us at grid up and on the podium which is a really nice touch. Can’t wait for the next time. Thank you Mark, Dante and all the rest of the team.

FAQs

How do I get to Daytona Sandown Park?

More Lane, Esher, Surrey, KT10 8AN

By car – from the M25:

  • Leave at Junction 10
  • Take the A3 northbound toward London
  • After about 5 miles, take the A244 exit signed for Esher / Sandown Park
  • Follow signs through Esher town centre into More Lane
  • The entrance is on the right inside the Sandown Park complex just past the Golf Centre.

By train:

The nearest station is Esher railway station.
From there it’s:

  • about a 5-minute taxi ride, or
  • roughly a 25–30 minute walk.

I'd like to drive in a DMAX, how experienced do I need to be?

DMAXs are for drivers who are experienced in karting. We recommend that you’ve driven at your chosen Daytona track in at least one 4-stroke Practice Session/ Open Race to get a feel for the track before driving a DMAX.  The starting point in a DMAX kart would be a practice session – 20 minutes of uncompetitive track time to understand how it handles.

I've never gone karting before, where should I start?

We recommend starting with practice sessions – 20 minutes of track time in a non-competitive format. For adults, this should be in our 4-stroke SODI or N35-ST karts, not our DMAXs. For kids aged 8-13, a Junior Practice is a great starting point. Race School is recommended for young people who want to progress in the sport and race competitively on the adult circuit.

Can I bring my own kart?

We do not run any owner-driver events at Daytona. If you wanted to bring your own kart and drive it round one of our tracks you would have to hire the track exclusively to do so.

Can I just turn up and race?

No – all sessions must be booked in advance. You can book online or call us on 033 033 278 70 when our sales office is open.

Are there car-parking facilities?

All of our circuits are equipped with large, free carparks. Please note, Daytona are not responsible for any vehicle in our carparks. Please do not leave valuables unattended in your vehicles.

Is there a restaurant or bar?

All Daytona venues have restaurants on-site, serving hot food and can cater for large parties. All venues also serve barista coffee, cold drinks, snacks and slushies. We do not have a bar or allow alcohol to be consumed on site.

What are your opening hours?

Our circuits are open at different times depending on the day and season. As a general rule of thumb, we’re open all day on weekends and two or three weekday evenings. To see race scheduling you would need to look on the booking system on our website. You cannot go to a race without pre-booking it – we do not accept drivers who turn up without booking.

Our sales office is open 9am-6pm Monday-Friday, and 9am-5pm on a Saturday.

What should I wear go-karting?

We can provide gloves, a race suit, helmet and a wet suit if required. Please wear trainers or similar – when the track is wet they might get muddy so we advise not wearing new shoes. You should wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the season – our race suits are insulating so you won’t need a jacket in the winter, nor a jumper in the summer. You must not wear a hoodie, scarf, or any loose headwear, as this is a safety hazard. You’ll also be required to wear a balaclava if you’re borrowing one of our helmets. These can be purchased from reception.

Are there any age or height restrictions at Daytona?

  • Bambino drivers must be at least 6 years old and 107cm tall (3 ft 5 inches).
  • Cadets/ Juniors must be at least 8 years old and 125cm tall (4 ft 1 inch).
  • To race in a SODI, you must be at least 14 years old* and 142cm tall (4 ft 8 inches)
  • To race in a DMAX, you must be at least 16 years old** and 142cm tall, and have sufficient karting experience to do so.

Children attending the venue must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult at all times.

*Experienced 12-13 year olds can undertake an assessment to drive in SODI karts, as long as they’re tall enough.
**Experienced 14-15 year olds can undertake an assessment to drive in DMAX karts.
