What Teamsport does

TeamSport, trading through Go Karting For Fun Ltd., is the UK's largest indoor go-karting operator, running 38 venues across England, Scotland, and Wales and serving more than 1 million customers per year. The core product is multi-level indoor electric go-karting on tracks ranging from 350m to 1000m, using the Biz EcoVolt GT fleet (45mph adult karts, with junior and Baby Volt variants), supplemented by gamified Combat Karts at five locations, a Mini Racers programme for ages 4-7, and structured Race Academy lessons for ages 8-15. The business has built a competitive racing ecosystem around the British Indoor Karting Championship (BIKC) in partnership with Motorsport UK, the Motorsport UK Girls Karting Academy, and a 200,000+ member community spanning Social, Club, Elite, and Race Academy tiers. Revenue is generated from per-session race bookings (Ultimate Race Experience from £49.90 in London), corporate team-building packages, birthday and stag/hen events, gift vouchers (£20-£100), annual memberships (20-25% discount), on-site food and beverage (licensed bar at every venue), and a growing set of off-track adjacencies including ten-pin bowling (Brent Cross), Laser Combat, Putt Club mini-golf, Sixes Social Cricket, and Sim Racing. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the website, iOS and Android apps, phone, live chat, and a dedicated corporate sales team, with no third-party distribution.
