Great track, well run and quality carts. Highly recommend. · via Google [Keith Wildman](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111427211059421858905/reviews) ★★★★★ Had a fabulous time doing a iron man 60. Never raced at the track before but i must say everything was well organised staff was friendly and helpful and top of it all the race was very competitive which is what you want when you pay the price you do for these events. But outdoor tracks always do seem to charge more than the indoor tracks do. But on a whole I had a great days racing and recommend giving it a go at lakeside karting. · via Google [Russell Bishop](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111985545919119865747/reviews) ★★★★★ Lakeside is a fast flowing track laid out very well and maintained to the best standards I know as I’ve raced in Rotax max in many different tracks the staff are very helpful and keep you updated at all times if there are any changes · via Google [Sarah Thomas](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100535205817855713982/reviews) ★★★★★ It was good but the overalls are very dirty and the velcro does not work, also the track time should be at least 45mins for the money paid · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47d8b0cd9951293d:0x139e3feeec298e45!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this karting track offers fast, thrilling karts and a challenging outdoor circuit with a mix of straights and technical sections.
