Ellough Park

Beccles houses this circuit, with a large paddock and a long but fast racing lap. Corners are grippy, and some tricky to get right - keeps you wanting more.

Ellough Park Kart Circuit is a technical yet high-speed track featuring 12 corners, combining flowing bends, tight hairpins, and fast straights. The layout demands precise braking, smooth throttle control, and well-timed overtakes to achieve a competitive lap.

Turn 1 is a fast left-hander, requiring commitment to maintain speed while positioning well for the short run into Turn 2, a tighter left where a clean exit is crucial. Turn 3 (The Hairpin) is one of the best overtaking opportunities, demanding heavy braking and a smooth throttle application on exit.

A short straight leads into Turn 4 (Right-Hander), which flows directly into Turn 5 (Sweeping Left)—a fast, open corner where kart stability is key. Turn 6 (Double Right) is a challenging section, requiring careful braking and a late apex to maximize speed into the following straight.

The back section of the circuit begins with Turn 7 (The Left Flick), which requires quick hands and good positioning. Turn 8 (Right-Hander) and Turn 9 (The Long Left) demand smooth inputs to avoid scrubbing speed. The final sector features Turn 10 (Tight Right) and Turn 11 (Hairpin Left) before the lap ends with Turn 12 (Fast Right), leading onto the start-finish straight.

The circuit is accessed via a short road off the main route, leading into a spacious paddock. The immediate surroundings are flat and open, with minimal tree cover, meaning wind direction can play a big role in top speed and braking stability, especially on the straights.
