The headline figures

For each track we record a "price from": the lowest session price on its booking pages. We have one for 113 of our 127 tracks.

A "price from" is the cheapest session a track sells, which may be a shorter session or a particular time slot. What you pay depends on the session you book. The biggest group of tracks, 39 of them (35%), starts at £50 or more.

1. Under £206 tracks, 5%

By kart power

Electric and petrol tracks share a median "price from" of £50, so kart power on its own tells you little about what a session costs. Only the 56 priced tracks that state their kart power are included. See the electric karting guide.

What a price includes

126 tracks list their sessions in our data. Between them they list 707 sessions, and a typical track lists about 5. Session lengths run from 7 to 360 minutes, and 30 minutes is the most common. That spread is why one headline price is hard to compare with another.

• Session length, number of races and number of laps differ between tracks.
• Junior, adult and group sessions often have different prices.
• Membership, licence or kit charges may or may not be included. See the track page.
• Prices can differ by day and time of booking.
• Age and height limits decide which session you can book. See age and height limits and the children's guide.

If you want to race

Racing in a club or championship brings costs a hire session does not have: entry fees, tyres, spares and, if you own the kart, engine rebuilds. Our clubs and championships guide covers the routes in from hire karting, and Zenico Racing breaks down what three of them cost.
