Track and Racing Experience

Pros:

  • "It’s clear they put the effort into the racing and maintenance of the track rather than the slightly dated reception area again which is what you want to see."
  • "The full 'international' circuit is just excellent fun. The track has plenty of tight turns and fast corners."
  • "Always a good facility to take the grandson for a thrilling experience every time."
  • "The outdoors racing track is professional level with 1350m makes takes the whole experience to a new level!"
  • "The track itself was awesome, turn 6 is wicked when you nail the exit, and same for turns 1 - 3, flat through 1 and then mounting the kerbs of 3 is so fun."
  • "Daytona Milton Keynes is one of my favourite tracks. It has a good mix of fast straights and challenging corners."
  • "Great outdoor go kart track."

Cons:

  • "The track does tend to favour the lighter people as it has numerous straights."
  • "It is incredibly expensive for the amount of time you spend on the track."
  • "They ruin the experience with their over management of the 'race', constant yellow flag or yellow light which means crawl speed and no overtaking = NOT A RACE = NO FUN........KILLJOY !!!"
  • "Avoid! they squeeze 30 karts in one session, and yellow light all the time, not a single hot lap can be reached."
  • "For the price they charge they can maintain the equipment a lot better."
  • "One of the worst karting that I've had."
  • "The karts were old, run down very inconsistent in performance, especially from what we were used to."

Customer Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "All the staff are friendly, welcoming and very happy to help."
  • "The sales team are extremely helpful and the team involved with organising the racing and running the party afterwards are excellent - brilliant service!"
  • "The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable."
  • "The Race Director and track marshalls were all excellent, with special mention need for Alex in the pits who could not have been more helpful."
  • "Staff friendly & on hand for any additional silly questions for those not overly familiar with the karting scene."
  • "The staff are really nice, helpful, knowledgeable and all work really hard."
  • "Polite, welcoming staff. Strict regarding safety, flags and respect of rules etc."

Cons:

  • "The company for some reason has no recognition of my credit. I was told it’s not on there system and have now lost £65."
  • "Received a quote from one person on the phone for a race for 17 people on a work night out, preparing to book it and get a phone call explaining that person was wrong and we couldn’t go for that price so we explained we would find somewhere else."
  • "Hygiene is the last thing on their mind."
  • "The race manager and many of the Marshalls are very stuck up and ruin the experience for you."
  • "When we arrived the arrogant, unhelpful and sarcastic manager refused to help us, as well as refused entry."
  • "Seems they're good when there are no issues but don't care when there are!"
  • "Staff are really unhelpful and not interested in their job which made the whole experience a bit depressing."

Facilities and Amenities

Pros:

  • "Nice coffee shop on site and professional team."
  • "Inside is pretty cool and the coffee/food they sell is much better than you'd expect for a karting venue."
  • "The facilities were clean & spacious, including baby changing, and it was great to be able to watch our son complete the sessions in a safe & controlled environment."
  • "The main building is a noticeable improvement over the Sandown Park equivalent, with good sized changing rooms, and plenty of sit-down space in an airy bright atrium with food/drinks available."
  • "Fantastic opportunity for children aged between 5 and 7 to start karting."
  • "Great tuition for the young ones."
  • "Staff were helpful and kept a bunch of very excited 9 year olds entertained."

Cons:

  • "Great place to go, but if you’re waiting for someone to finish the game, it takes a really long time and it was quite difficult to find the toilet, and there was no free WiFi available, it had a password."
  • "During the race, after one of my refuels my cap was left so loose that it leaked fuel all over my legs which soaked through the overalls onto my under layer and on my legs (massive health and safety hazard)."
  • "Was told that you're not permitted to bring lunch (to an all-day event) and that you have to purchase food from their own tuck shop, which the food was appalling."
  • "So avoid this place much more friendly go karting tracks in Milton Keynes and locally these people have zero customer service skills."
  • "Taking the karts in the paddock took really long as there was only one worker to take the individual drivers to their karts."
  • "Needed to use toilet whilst waiting for son to finish his duty at venue ... asked by male on door where was i going... he told me i could not use the toilet."
  • "Men's toilet cubicle out of order (only one cubicle) which is not what I would expect for a reputed karting business."

Value and Pricing

Pros:

  • "The price is a little steep, but it's worth doing to knock off your bucket list at least once!"
  • "The price I think is fair because you have to consider the costs for kart maintenance and wages etc."
  • "Not the cheapest but for the facilities on offer I think it is good value for money."
  • "Daytona have always come to the party and given special allowances for such instances."
  • "The karts are very quick and well maintained."
  • "Amazing day out! Customer service front start to finish was great and the deluxe burger and beer is delicious."
  • "The price is a bit much, but the speed, sound, feel and joy you get out of driving the kart makes it so worth it."

Cons:

  • "It is incredibly expensive for the amount of time you spend on the track."
  • "The up-sell on add one is where you can get fleeced so be warned!"
  • "Had to knock off one star for £106 for 2 people for 20 minutes which by anyone's standards is expensive."
  • "However quite expensive. Great for once in a while fun."
  • "All in all and very expensive and disappointing experience. Will not be returning sorry but I'll stick to teamsport tracks in the future."
  • "If you want to risk a lump of your hard-earned cash by chancing whether you actually get a properly working kart on the day, forget it."
  • "RUBBISH!!! Do not go Daytona Milton Keynes."
