Nestled in the rolling Lanarkshire countryside and just a quick shot down the M74, Larkhall Circuit is revving up as a go-to destination for families, thrill-seekers, and motorsport enthusiasts looking for an adrenaline boost.

At 1,140 metres, this motorsport marvel claims the title of Scotland’s longest outdoor karting track — and with its international circuit credentials, it’s not just another novelty attraction. This is where fun meets fierce competition, and where even casual drivers can feel like future champions.

A Track with Pedigree

Larkhall isn’t some backlot speedway cobbled together for birthday parties — it’s a serious circuit. With a reputation for grooming racing talent, the venue has played host to a roll call of motorsport royalty, including:

• David Coulthard MBE, Formula 1 legend

• Damon Hill, former F1 World Champion

• Dario Franchitti, IndyCar great

• And Lando Norris, one of the current F1 grid’s brightest stars

For fans of the sport, walking the same track as these giants adds a powerful layer of authenticity to the experience.

But Larkhall isn’t exclusive. It caters to everyone, from seasoned racers to absolute beginners.

Bring the Family, Suit Up, and Race

Kids aged 7 to 13 can buckle up in junior karts equipped with integrated seats, roll bars, and four-point safety harnesses. Parents get peace of mind; kids get the thrill of a real race car.

Older teens and adults can step into the more powerful 390cc senior karts, capable of hitting speeds of up to 60 mph on the winding circuit. Whether it’s a quick solo session or a competitive family showdown, the “Arrive and Drive” model means everything is sorted for you — kart, helmet, gloves, suit, and balaclava included.

Don’t want to race? No problem. The on-site café and viewing areas (both indoor and outdoor) mean spectators can relax while watching the action unfold, latte in hand.

More Than Just Speed: A Motorsport Community Hub

The circuit is home to the West of Scotland Kart Club, with British Championship events hosted regularly. For serious karting fans, it’s more than just a venue — it’s a community epicentre for Scotland’s grassroots motorsport scene.

Its easy access from the M74 makes it a practical day out — whether you’re looking to burn some rubber or just soak in the sound of roaring engines.

Fuel Your Need for Speed

From first-timers to future champions, Larkhall delivers speed, excitement, and a little slice of motorsport magic. With professional-grade equipment, safety-first design, and family-friendly features, it’s become a regional gem — and a must-visit for anyone who ever dreamed of taking the chequered flag.
