I have a few q's about go karting and if you can answer any of them please do

Have you been to Premier Karting in Woodley and is it good?
Is 30 minutes long enough and would an hour of racing be too repetitive?
Is an hour long race woth £50?

Thanks...

Sounds like it's your first time?

If so an hour is very long if you intend to drive quickly. Driving fast requires really high concentration and if you're not used to it you won't be able to keep up a fast pace over an hour without losing focus. Half an hour will probably be enough - if you enjoy it you can always go back and hopefully you'll have improved.

Don't know the venue I'm afraid; £50 for an hour is about what I'd expect, but I'm not very experienced.

Yes first time and you're right, i should probably get a few half an hour sessions in before doing an hour race!!

Eat and drink well before you race; karting is more demanding then you'd imagine. It's hot and your arms will ache after a while.
Spend the first few laps learning the track layout, keeping an eye out on how much space you have on track. If you get the chance, follow a faster driver to get an idea of the racing line.
Remember to be progressive on your brakes. Slamming the anchors at top speed will end with you pointing the wrong way.
Drive safe, have fun!
