Get-Racing provides all the staff you need to set up, maintain and run your event from start to finish — you don't need to do a thing.

Our experienced pit crew will arrive ahead of your event, build the track, set up computer race timing and run a short briefing for all racers before the event begins. We manage everything on the day so you can relax and enjoy it.

We provide the cars, scenery, tables, track and all other equipment needed to build the circuit. You need to provide:

• A cleared, covered area approximately 2 metres longer and wider than the track size
• Access to a mains electricity supply

We can provide an alternative power source if mains electricity isn't available — just let us know when you enquire.

We offer 2, 4, 6 and 8 lane configurations, plus single-lane rally specials for tighter or more unusual spaces. All layouts are custom-built to fit your available space and come with full scenic dioramas.

As a rough guide to the space you'll need:

• 4 lane track — approximately 6m x 4.4m minimum floor space
• 6 lane track — approximately 8m x 5m minimum floor space
• 8 lane track — approximately 9m x 6m minimum floor space

Not sure what fits? Tell us your venue dimensions and we'll advise the best layout.

We recommend a two-hour event with up to 3 children allocated to each lane. This gives every child plenty of racing time while keeping the competitive format fun and engaging throughout.

• 4 lane track — up to 12 children
• 6 lane track — up to 18 children
• 8 lane track — up to 24 children

For larger groups, we can discuss extending the session or running back-to-back heats. Get in touch and we'll work out the best format for your group size.

We offer a range of racing formats that can be fully tailored to your event and guests:

• Knock-out championship — head-to-head races leading to a final
• Round-robin tournament — every racer competes against every other
• Team events — guests split into teams for a team championship
• Time trials — each racer gets a set number of laps to set a fastest time
• Top Gear-style leaderboard — a running fastest-lap board throughout the event
• Free practice — relaxed open racing with no formal competition

We'll recommend the best format based on your event type, age group and number of guests. Contact us to discuss the options.
