After a lot of years, a lot of laps and a lot of memories, it’s time for us to share some sad news.

Lakeside Karting will be closing its doors on 23rd September.

It’s a strange thing to write. We’ve watched thousands of you come through the gates over the years: first-time drivers, families, birthday groups, mates taking things far too seriously, regulars chasing another tenth and some seriously quick racers.

We’ve seen people grow up racing here. We’ve had customers come back year after year, and we’ve been lucky enough to have a brilliant group of staff and drivers become part of Lakeside along the way.

So rather than quietly disappearing, we want to spend these final few weeks doing what we’ve always done. Racing❗️

If Lakeside has been part of your life at any point, we’d love to see you back at the track before we close. Get the old group together, dig out the lap time excuses and come give the place a proper send off.

And thankfully, this isn’t the end of karting for us. Brentwood Karting remains open and isn’t going anywhere, so you’ll still have somewhere to continue the rivalries afterwards.

But for Lakeside, the countdown is officially on.

23rd September - The Final Chequered Flag ❤️🏁

Thank you to everyone who has ever raced, worked or spent time with us at Lakeside. It genuinely wouldn’t have been the same without you.

P.S. Stay tuned over the next few weeks, we’ll be digging out some old Lakeside photos and memories from over the years! 👀🏁
