Track Description
The track has 2 straights: the main one being 160 metres long, the back straight is 96 metres long. It has a dual 40 kart starting grid, allowing for 80 karts to assemble at once. It also features a dedicated breakdown lane.
Accommodation
If anyone is thinking of staying at the track there are usually a number of us who will be inside the facility when the gates are locked (seeing as we're not allowed to refer to it as camping).
For those who want something more substantial, there are a few good alternatives all within about 10 minutes of the track. Why not grab another team and book together?
Ring Jesmond about their villas at Wallsend or Macquarie Apartments at Cardiff on 02 4955 5888. Let them know you’re from TEKA and would like to book a room for that weekend.
or
Cardiff Motor Inn 02 4954 6738

There is also a Formula 1 Motel which is a cheap, clean alternative. You can book online or by phone. If you go onto the net you’re after the one located at Wallsend.
For other accomodation options, visit the Newcastle Kart Club website.
