    Great track, great karts. There was a birthday party of young teens who kept burying themselves into walls, and the staff were a little unnecessarily grumpy about that, but overall superb fun.

    My 13yr old grandson was looking for outdoor GoKarting venue as he had used an indoor venue in past so I searched for GoKarting around London.I came across this Daytona GoKarting at Sandown park.After researching their website I decided to take my grandson there but before that I needed some information which I could not find in the website so I called them.The guy on the phone explained that for junior drivers it is £50 for 20 minutes of karting.In their website it is £45 but doesn’t mention the time.I thought it would be 30 minutes session as I found in other venues.I was not pleased as 20 minutes of GoKarting too expensive.I was put off from this place so I tried to find other places and I came across one out door venue where the price was quite reasonable. I would never go to Daytona venue.

    Great place, great people. Always have good races in all weather. The staff are really friendly and helpful always giving me support. This is a long track and races by many F1 drivers and celebrities. This is a must visit place. Remember these are corporate karts and are in endless use it is not fair the comments of bad karts

    Too many Karts on the track, too many yellow flags. Don’t waste your money, as many others have commented, bias treatment towards regulars, the Marshalls don’t pit the “regulars” for their competitive driving but newbies they will. Completely ruined the experience for our big “stag” group and when asked for an explanation for constant “sin bins” was given inconsistent pathetic reply’s. Too expensive for what it is, ran by half asleep teenagers and a couple of spineless adults. Avoid at all costs !!!! Money grabbing also comes to mind, they can take payment on the premises, but can’t do any refunds without the CEO,s permission? Looking forward to the generic cop out reply, probably similar to what i received on the day. Once they have taken the money, their clearly not interested!

    The best outdoor karting place around. Excellent team, new karts and a very well managed event. Will definitely be returning over and over again. Plenty of parking, although does get busy during events, but never been an issue. If you are using their helmets, you have to purchase a balaclava for £4, or bring your own.

    My son attended Race School during the summer and it was nothing short of fantastic. The instructor for the day was Dante Dhillon who not only is one of the top Karters in the UK but was fantastic and so patient with all the kids. I would highly recommend race school for all ages of kids and experience. My son Gained 15 seconds a lap from the start of the day to the final session which is all down to the fantastic tuition he received Well worth the money! Thank you

    Friendly kind staff and my son really enjoys the karting. He has karted elsewhere in the UK and this place has been the best so far - an hour+ from London. I would only say that the waiting area for those not karting isn’t comfortable and there is no indoor viewing gallery near the track. The food could also be better. If you’re Karting it’s great, if not, could be much better.

  • 5/5 Will B. 8 months ago on Google
    Daytona runs the most professional karting arrive and drive. Lots of staff who are all really friendly but still focused on safety. The track is technical enough to be challenging but not too difficult.

  • 5/5 Aom A. 9 months ago on Google
    We visited on weekdays and had a great experience. We tried DMAX karts which were nice and powerful. Great track and facilities.

  • 5/5 henriette h. 5 years ago on Google
    Fabulous place for kids and adults. My son did two practice runs before being let on big course for bambinos.. separate from adult course. He absolutely loved it. The staff are really nice and friendly. Parking available as well as coffee and snacks.

  • 2/5 Claudio C. 11 months ago on Google
    Too many Karts on the track, most of them are very dangerous. The only thing they said regarding as been “next time book dmax”. During the pre-grid alignment, while I was stationary on the circuit with the Marshall in front of the kart, a "driver" REAR-ENDED me!! I was at a complete stop, and he was moving at 2/3 miles per hour!! The Marshall witnessed the entire incident and still allowed him to participate in the race. I don't understand how someone who can't differentiate between the gas pedal and the brake is given the chance to compete!! It's incredible. During the race, there was a constant occurrence of drivers spinning out from all sides!! It felt like watching a figure skating performance on ice.

    I’ve been to many many kart tracks and this one stands out by far as the most welcoming, professional,value for money. I’d like to thank Ben and Kayleigh in the sales office and Liam in the work shop for explaining everything perfectly and being so approachable in the process. Keep up the great work guys n gals!

  • 5/5 Leon M. 1 year ago on Google
    Professional staff. Clean facilities. Absolutely fantastic track. The karts were fun and pretty equal in performance. One could easily lose the day karting here. My only complaint is that they were very much behind schedule the last time that I visited. But that con is seriously outweighed by the pros.

  • 5/5 Mike L. 11 months ago on Google
    A lot more fun than I was expecting. While the karts seem from a distance to be pootling around, when you're on the tarmac and your bahookie is three inches above the ground it feels a LOT faster. Highly recommended.

    Right from the online experience to post track l, it was an amazing experience. I would like to place appreciation for the Daytona, Surrey, and staff members. They were helpful, polite, warm, and friendly. They wear smile on their face and don't make you feel out of place if you are a new driver. Track experience was extremely good, and the instructions are clear and precise. They don't tolerate any rash driving. The marshals attend immediately, should you need any assistance. Karts were in good condition, too. There are 5 practice laps to decide the grid positions and then actual racing commences. I will certainly go there again and would recommend you too to try it. I have been to othere Go Karting, but this one stands above, simply because apart from racing experience, the staff does take care of you. Kudos to the entire team at Daytona, Surrey. Well done!

  • 5/5 Andy N. 1 year ago on Google
    Having visited many kart tracks around the world, this one is one of the best run I have visited. The crew are very serious about safety and driver behaviour. The karts are very modern and in excellent condition (when I visited in December 2022). I can thoroughly recommend this 900 meter circuit.

  • 1/5 Elena T. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't recommend to come here at all! Had a horrible experience with the backlog que and personal who doesn't know what they are doing. If you book your session at 4-30, expect to start 5-30 the earliest. After my comment that I won't recommend that place to anyone else, the personal just started to argue... Horrible customer service as well.

  • 5/5 Andy G. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place, big lover of karting and this was brilliant. Staff excellent and Mathew our instructor was awesome!

  • 1/5 Richard M. 1 year ago on Google
    My two boys attended as a present. Race was poorly marshalled, adults were racing on the same circuit with my 9 year old, they were running late and cut the session short. Got less than 15 mins on the track when we should have had 20 min. Will look elsewhere next time for sure.

  • 4/5 Dimicke Le M. 4 years ago on Google
    Loads of fun. The track is great, and the karts are well maintained and a lot of fun. We had a group of 30 guys and Al went at the same time. Lots of fun (although quite a few spin outs). But the staff handle it very well. 3verything is well maintained. The only negatives were that they weren't serving quite a few of the advertised food offerings (which left a few guys hungry who were looking forward to having a bite) and because they were quite busy we had to start quite a bit later than we had booked for as we had to wait for other parties to finish. But I would recommend it, speed and fun!

  • 5/5 Jacek P. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic fun, very helpful staff, lots of adrenaline:).

  • 5/5 James S. 1 year ago on Google
    Well organised with polite staff and excellent marshals. The Karts are Rotax 125cc DMax, nippy with a 45mph average on the track. All the kit is available if you don't have your own race gear, but you need your own gloves and balaclava. Worth a go.

  • 5/5 Aymen S. 4 years ago on Google
    Really great service and amazing Go karts most of the time. Coming to Esher for the first time was beautiful surrounded with amazing scenery, wouldn't mind stopping and go for wonder around the town. But I came to try out their powerful 125cc Evo rotax engine powered karts and I must admit they're fast. pretty much similar to the karts I race, performance wise.

    Great day! Passionate and experienced team Daytona made us feel so welcome.

  • 1/5 trevor p. 2 years ago on Google
    Extremely disappointed with my experience at Sandown Daytona Karting yesterday. My company paid £150+ per person for the racing which was really spoilt for me as I had to change Karts 3 times(4 karts) as they were faulty and gutless. The Dmax karts are supposed to be the best/quickest but mine were poor. I can accept certain problems arise but to have to change so many times meant I was never going to do well or enjoy it as I should have..! Then to be given an L plate and slight ridicule at the presentation instead of some sort of apology/compensation made the whole thing unprofessional. Barbecue was good but I could of gone to Burger king for a burger.. I was there for racing not the food…!!!!

  • 3/5 Razvan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Can't make the pre-register process as their website simply doesn't work. I'm giving 3 stars before getting there for race, will get back with update.

  • 5/5 Harry M. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent way to spend a few hours! Great organisation and logistics. Even one cheating little swine (#44, whoever you were!) didn’t ruin a wet and wild afternoon of racing. Will definitely go back!
