Llandow

A great little track sitting just outside Swansea in South Wales. A bit of a trek to get to, but worth it. Local campsite, dedicated cafe, and right near the beach.

Llandow Kart Circuit is a technical yet flowing track with 9 corners, featuring a mix of tight hairpins, fast sweeping bends, and a long straight. The circuit rewards smooth driving and precision, with good overtaking opportunities in key braking zones.

Turn 1 (The Hook) is a sharp right immediately followed by a tight left, requiring quick hands and good braking control to avoid losing momentum. A short straight leads into Turn 2 (The Hairpin Right), a prime overtaking spot where late braking and a tight exit are crucial for speed down the next section.

Turn 3 (Left-Hander) is a fast and flowing bend where kart positioning is vital to carry momentum into Turn 4 (The Right Flick), a slight kink that sets up the approach to the back section. Turn 5 (The Long Left) is a sweeping corner requiring commitment and throttle control to maintain speed.

Next, Turn 6 (The Fast Right) leads onto the circuit’s longest straight, where slipstreaming can be effective. The lap concludes with Turn 7 (The Heavy Braking Right) and Turn 8 (Final Left), a tight technical section where a clean exit is crucial to maximize acceleration onto the start-finish straight.

The circuit is accessed via a small road off the main route, leading to a well-sized paddock area. The surrounding landscape is relatively flat but exposed, meaning wind direction can influence braking distances and top speed along the straights.

Roughly 190 miles (3 hours, 30 mins) from Tarporley.
