IS THERE A HEIGHT RESTRICTION?

Players must be 11+ years old and at least 1.5m tall. Upon arrival any one just over the height restriction may be asked to demonstrate that they can fully operate the kart before racing. If any player cannot comfortably reach the pedals or fully operate a kart they will unfortunately not be able to race.
