TeamSport Go Karting Stockton

Postcode: TS18 2QX
County: County Durham

This is an adrenaline-fueled indoor attraction that is perfect for families, friends, and even stag or hen parties looking for a bit of healthy competition. The standout feature here is the 500m multi-level track, which is spread across two intense floors with long straights and challenging hairpins. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a complete novice, it’s a brilliant way to spend a few hours.

The Experience

You’ll start with a full safety briefing and a video to get you up to speed, then you’ll get suited up in professional race gear.

• Track Thrills: The circuit includes a flyover and a bridge, giving you a real mix of technical sections and fast stretches.
• The Karts: They use petrol-powered karts here. Adult karts can hit speeds of up to 40mph, while the specially designed cadet karts for younger racers are capped at a safer 25mph.
• Timing: Everything is electronically timed, so you can see exactly how you performed and try to beat your personal best.

Who Is It For?

This attraction is fantastic for families, teens, and adults.

• Age Groups: Primarily aimed at those aged 8 and over.
• Restrictions:
  • Cadet Karts (Ages 8–12): Minimum height of 1.2m and a minimum inside leg measurement of 25 inches.
  • Adult Karts (Ages 13+): Minimum height of 1.5m and a minimum inside leg measurement of 29 inches.
  • Mini Racers (Ages 4–7): There is sometimes a separate experience for the very little ones (height between 1.0m and 1.4m), but they cannot race with adults.
• Physicality: Be prepared for a bit of a workout! The steering can be stiff, and you’ll definitely feel it in your arms and shoulders after a few sessions.

Planning Your Visit

• Duration: Most people spend about 1.5 to 2 hours here. This usually covers two 15-minute race sessions plus the briefing and gear-up time.
• Facilities: There is a Fuel Bar on-site serving snacks and drinks (including a licensed bar for after your race).
• Spectators: If you’re not racing, there’s a great spectator area on the first floor that gives you a birds-eye view of the action.
• Parking: Good news—there is free on-site parking directly outside the venue.

Top Tips for Your Trip

• Dress Code: Wear comfortable clothes and trainers. Open-toed shoes, sandals, or heels are strictly not allowed on the track.
• Discounts: Look out for Student, NHS, and Blue Light discounts. They also often have “Member Monday” deals or offers for booking multiple races. If you have kids who are really into it, they run a Race Academy for lessons.
• Booking: It’s best to book in advance as it can get very busy, especially on weekends and during school holidays.

Nearby to Add to Your Day

• Food & Drink: Since the venue is on an industrial estate, you might want to head toward Stockton Town Centre or Teesside Park (both a short drive away) for a wider variety of restaurants, cafes, and bars.
• Other Activities: If you want to make a full day of it, Teesside Park offers a cinema and bowling, which pair perfectly with a morning of karting.
