As it celebrates its tenth anniversary, MARK LANE finds out why the operations at innovative Karting North East have proved such a big hit with its customers

Planning a corporate event can
be a demanding task, with the
pressure always being on to come up
with something that is both fun and
exciting while also being original.
Increasingly, people are looking to
organise a day out that offers a little
more than a bite to eat and a few drinks. They want their guests to be stimulated, exhilarated and to experience a day they won’t forget.

Which brings us nicely to the benefits
that can be gained by talking to the
team at Karting North East. Karting
North East offers you the opportunity
to experience real outdoor racing on a
1200 metre British Championship
circuit.As well as helping to bring teams closer together, a day at the race track is ideal for people to explore their more competitive nature.

Ian Lawson, managing director of the
company says:“We can offer your staff and customers the opportunity to race at one of the UK’s top circuits. Purpose built in 1996, our centre now holds rounds of the British Kart
Championship where professional
drivers regularly do battle. It’s a
challenging circuit that combines fast
straights and tight technical corners
and your guests can have exclusive use of the circuit. Unlike many kart centres, we are not restricted to racing eight or nine karts at once.We can have up to 25 all racing at the same time which makes for fast and furious fun.”

Karting North East can cater for either small or large groups of up to 100
guests. Groups from 5 to 25 can take advantage of our Grand Prix format
which consists of a 15 minute timed practice session with the fastest driver
starting on pole position for a 30 minute race with all 25 racing at once. Larger
groups enjoy the endurance format where guest are divided into teams of 2,
3, or 4 and take part in an extended practice session before a long endurance
race begins with teams changing drivers every 15 minutes.

Karting North East can also offer a variety of catering options ranging from a simple buffet to high quality barbeque and can also cater for specific dietary needs.

Indeed, as a venue organisation that has been operating for ten years, Karting
North East is now ideally placed to respond to the needs of corporate users.

Adds Ian: “Before any corporate event, an event manager is appointed who is
in control and available to answer any questions guests may have. He is on the
lookout for any natural drivers as well as any unusual manoeuvres that can be
used during the trophy presentation. With over 15 years experience of
providing corporate activities we can ensure your guests have a memorable time.”

As an illustration of its commitment to remain ahead of its competitors, Karting North East has recently invested in a new fleet of 390cc Biz Thunderkarts which offer greater speeds, responsive handling and with on-board displays showing race data.

Yet while speed is the name of the game in any racing event, Ian and his
colleagues always have one eye on safety.The track at Karting North East
has an outstanding safety record and safety is an issue that is very close to
the heart of Ian,who is chairman of the steering committee of the National Karting Association.

The parent company of Karting North East is Manor House Leisure which
was founded in 1988 and has twelve years experience in providing mobile
activity events for corporate clients.

Karting North East has also recently announced the addition of paintball to
its range of activities. Paintball can now be added to the existing karting
package event or be combined with other activities to make an unforgettable day.
