Took my nephew and his mate (15 and 16) up to the Mansell Raceway in Dunkeswell in east Devon (the Blackdown Hills) yesterday. Can't recommend it highly enough - 800 metre outdoor track, 40mph karts and computerised timing (£25 for two 15 minute sessions). The staff were great and really friendly, happy to give advice and tips. Its the home of the Devon Karting Club and at the moment doesn't advertise much as they are going to build a restaurant etc. Currently all the offices and things are in portakabins. A great afternoon the boys had a whale of a time.
Its just up the road from Dunkeswell Airfield which has a flying club with a restaurant open to the public, flying lessons and flights, and a privately run wartime museum. (Must be the largest flat area in Devon which is otherwise really hilly).
