Experience go-karting year-round at Knockhill, Fife—Scotland’s premier outdoor karting venue! Perfect for anyone 16+, the Sodi GT5 karts run on LPG with Honda GX270cc engines, hitting up to 50 mph down the main straight. The 500m smooth-tarmac circuit is nine metres wide (ideal for overtakes), features four corners, a pit lane, and floodlights for evening racing. Rain? No problem, waterproofs keep you dry, and a damp track only ups the excitement! Challenge the 31.85 s lap record (or aim for a solid 34–36 s) with instant lap timing in every kart. Enjoy 20-minute sessions—roughly 30 laps—and race alongside up to 11 others. Fast, reliable, and brilliantly handled, our Sodi GT5 karts will have you coming back for more!
