Hull Karting takes all drivers safety very seriously and are also a certified and approved member of the National Karting Association (NKA). We meet all of their guidelines for karting.
Driver safety briefing
Before you can enjoy the fun and excitement of go kart racing, all drivers must watch, in full, the National Karting Association safety briefing video, immediately before attending any event at Hull Karting.
Watch the ‘NKA briefing and safety’ video on YouTube
Parents and legal guardians of under 18s attending Hull Karting events are responsible for ensuring that their daughter/son/ward has watched the National Karting Association briefing and safety video, and that they watched it along with them to ensure that they fully understood all of the instructions, information and advice in the video, immediately before attending an Hull Karting event.
The safety video must be watched before every event by drivers.
Driver online registration
All drivers at Hull Karting must log on and create an Online account before arrival.
Parents/ Guardians of under 18 year olds must create an account and ADD any under 18’s to the account at the “ADD a Minor Section”)
As part of registering a Minor they are confirming that they have watched and fully understood the ‘National Karting Association briefing and safety’ video, immediately before attending, and that they fully understand and accept that go karting and motor sports are inherently dangerous activities.

Drivers then attend Hull Karting and will be required to use the kiosks to “Check in” on arrival for their event.
Under 18’s need to be checked in at the kiosks with the Parents/Guardians account email address and the young person’s date of Birth.
Under 16’s will require a parent / guardian on site at all times.
16 & 17 year olds can check in themselves and be on site without a parent/guardian.
All drivers will undertake a further ‘Verbal health and safety briefing’ and check before they will be allowed to drive.
If at any point during the process the staff at Hull Karting believe a driver has not undertaken and watched the ‘National Karting Association briefing and safety video’ in full, or that the driver does not fully understand the instructions or information, the driver’s session will be terminated immediately* for the driver’s safety and that of the other drivers and staff.
Any drivers during the session that are deemed to be driving dangerously to either themselves or our drivers/staff will also have their session terminated immediately*
If you have any issues or want further advice, support or guidance with regards to the NKA safety video or briefing, please contact us before your event.
In any event or technical issue we will request drivers to complete a hard copy paper version of the consent forms instead.

- Over 18 – Driver signature only
* If we cancel a session because we believe that you have not watched, understood the instruction on the NKA briefing or staff briefing this will be non-refundable.
