All but a handful of tracks run sessions a 13-year-old can book. Adult sessions open up fast after that. 67 tracks let 13-year-olds in, 97 do at 14, 102 at 15 and 115 at 16.

Ages in years, heights as the track publishes them. "-" means the track doesn't say. Open a track page for its sessions, sources and the date we last checked it.

These 115 tracks let drivers aged 16 or under into adult sessions. The first column shows the youngest age each one allows.

76 of these 119 tracks publish a junior height minimum. It runs from 100 cm to 145 cm, and 120 cm is the most common (42 tracks). 22 publish no height limit at all, so ask them when you book.

Measure your child in their shoes before you go. Tracks measure at the desk, and a child who is a centimetre short drives another day.

• The junior age and height on the track page. A child has to meet both.
• Whether junior sessions run on their own or alongside adults, and which days they run.
• Which karts juniors drive. Junior karts are often smaller and slower than the adult fleet.
• What the track supplies. Most hire tracks lend a helmet and overalls, but some ask you to bring a balaclava or gloves.
• Party packages, if it's a birthday. 85 of these tracks list kids' parties.
