Why Choose Stoxkarts?

Stoxkarts is the UK’s leading budget contact racing formula, designed for adrenaline-packed, family-friendly short oval motorsport. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned racer, Stoxkarts offers a level playing field and unforgettable action.

The Pros

1. Affordable Motorsport

  • New karts start from £4,000, and used karts are available from around £2,500.

  • Low annual running costs, with minimal repairs and controlled parts.

  • Hire and “arrive & drive” options mean you can race without owning a kart.

2. Level Playing Field

  • Sealed 390cc Honda GX engines – no tuning wars.

  • Controlled and strict technical regulations ensure driver skill ( and a bit of luck) wins races.

  • Single-gear system and no suspension make for fast but simple racing.

3. Accessible for All Ages

  • Juniors: 11–16 years

  • Seniors: 16+ (up to 65+)

  • Families can even share one kart between Junior and Senior classes at the same meeting.

4. Adrenaline & Action

  • Close, bumper-to-bumper racing with 30+ karts on track.

  • Shale and tarmac events across the UK.

  • Limited contact and overtakes that deliver maximum thrill.

5. Club Atmosphere

  • Family-friendly paddock and a welcoming community for newcomers.

  • Expert advice and guidance from experienced drivers and officials.

  • A great stepping stone into larger contact racing formulas, or relaxed fun for those that have raced other formulas.

​

The Cons

1. Contact Racing

  • Stoxkarts is a contact formula, which means occasional bumps and scrapes. Contact racing is not everyone's cup of tea and you can get damage to your kart. (However, damage costs are typically low compared to other forms of motorsport.)

2. Limited Customisation

  • No performance modifications are allowed. While this ensures fairness, it also means there’s less scope for mechanical tuning or individuality in kart performance. So if you like to tinker and push rules to the limit then Stoxkarts is not for you.

3. Availability of Events

  • While there are regular race meetings, they’re limited to certain UK tracks. Travel might be needed if you’re not close to the venues.

4. Safety Gear Costs

  • As with all motorsport, personal safety equipment (helmet, suit, gloves, neck brace) is mandatory and can be an upfront expense for new drivers.

So the BIG Question...
Is Stoxkarts Right for You?

If you’re looking for fast-paced, close-contact racing on a budget, Stoxkarts is hard to beat. It combines the thrill of stock car racing with affordability and accessibility, making it one of the best ways to get on track.
