Kart Performance and Track Quality

Pros:

• "The SODI Karts we're well looked after and seamed to all perform the same."
• "The circuit is probably one of the better I've been to, and the race set up and competitiveness create a great race."
• "The karts are very modern and in excellent condition."
• "Fantastic experience. The dmax carts will bite if you're not careful! Quite fast and actually a real buzz racing them."
• "Professional staff. Clean facilities. Absolutely fantastic track."
• "Great track, you can get a lot of speed through the corners and there's plenty of room to overtake."
• "The track is technical enough to be challenging but not too difficult."

Cons:

• "Putting people who are seriously interested in winning alongside those who are just there for fun and a day out is such a stupid idea."
• "Too many Karts on the track, too many yellow flags."
• "During the session, the exhaust fell off the kart he was driving, and was required to come into the pits."
• "Race was poorly marshalled, adults were racing on the same circuit with my 9 year old."
• "They had a few issues, particularly with karts breaking down, for a while after they opened up after lockdown."
• "Felt sick after about 40 minutes of running due to the continuous bumps in fast corners."
• "Extremely disappointed with my experience at Sandown Daytona Karting yesterday... I had to change Karts 3 times(4 karts) as they were faulty and gutless."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Worth doing, the track is huge and so it's far easier to justify the cost."
• "The £65 sprint race is good enough, that's 10 minutes qualy and 20 minutes race."
• "An exciting and thrilling afternoon at the circuit, so if you like go karting this outdoor circuit is worth a try."
• "Prices had been steadily rising at this track but I've noticed recently they've started offering discounted sessions in the late evenings which are very good value."
• "Good value for money, 10 mins of lap setting time followed by 20mins of race time, all professionally operated with grid positioning and lights out start."
• "The whole process is well managed and efficient, with an obvious focus on safety."
• "Daytona runs the most professional karting arrive and drive."
