Customer Reviews
Bambino Exclusive Training School:
"The training was a great starting point for bambino level. It covered all aspects of safety and driving on the track and ensuring your child is capable of following instructions and has a basic understanding to get started. I definitely recommend this."
Academy Lessons:
"The academy training gives the next level of understanding into the karting world. Giving the child understanding of track lines etc. So glad we put Lily through both of these courses before allowing her out in her own kart as she has a good understanding of safety and karting overall."
