Shennington

Surrounded by mostly open countryside - this is a fast, flowing track with high-speed sections and technical turns.

Shenington Kart Circuit is a fast, flowing track with nine corners, offering a mix of high-speed sections and technical turns that challenge both precision and racecraft. The layout rewards smooth driving, and maintaining momentum is key to a competitive lap.

Turn 1 (Park Bend) is a fast right-hander taken almost flat, setting the tone for the lap. A short straight leads into Turn 2 (Cafe Corner), a crucial braking zone where late braking and a tight exit set up for the back straight. Turn 3 (Stratford Hairpin) is one of the best overtaking spots, requiring heavy braking and a clean line to carry speed into the following section.

Exiting the hairpin, a slight kink leads into Turn 4 (Wilkins Chicane), a quick left-right where keeping the kart settled is critical. The next section flows into Turn 5 (Bruno Chicane), a tight sequence that demands precise inputs to avoid losing momentum. Turn 6 (Hangar Corner) is a sweeping right-hander requiring full commitment to maximize exit speed down the Hangar Straight.

The final two corners—Turn 7 (Pits Bend) and Turn 8 (Wilkins Corner)—are critical for a strong finish. Wilkins is a tight right-hander leading onto the start-finish straight, making exit speed vital.

The circuit is accessed via a small lane just off the main road, leading to the paddock and facilities. The surrounding area is mostly open countryside, with rolling fields and minimal tree cover, meaning wind direction can play a role in kart performance, especially on the straights.
