Circuit that inspired Formula One aces celebrates 50th anniversary

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year Chatham’s Buckmore Park offers the high-speed thrills of the track for karting fans.

The 1,000-metre international floodlit outdoor circuit, just off junction 3 of the M2, is where Formula One world champions Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button learnt their trade.

Kids’ karting parties for ages four to 16, lasting either 30 minutes or one hour, are available for up to 12 drivers. Parties can also incorporate a celebration meal and be combined with laser-warfare games in the woods for ages eight to 16.
