Why Go Karting in Cardiff is So Popular
Looking for speed, competition, and non-stop laughs? Go karting in Cardiff is one of the most exciting ways to spend a day with friends, family, or colleagues. Whether you’re organising a stag weekend in Wales, planning an action-packed hen do in Cardiff, or searching for a team-building event, karting ticks every box.
South Wales is home to some of the UK’s best indoor and outdoor karting tracks, where you can race head-to-head, battle for the fastest lap time, and relive the adrenaline long after the chequered flag.

Our Experience at Supakart Newport
At Blue Ocean, we don’t just recommend karting — we’ve done it ourselves. We’re friends with the team at Supakart Newport and have raced at their track many times.
One of the things we love about Supakart is the lap timing system. Every race is tracked so you and your friends can compare results, see who’s improving, and settle once and for all who’s the fastest driver in your group.
It’s these little touches that make karting so addictive — and why so many of our stag, hen, and corporate groups add it to their weekend itinerary.
