If casual karting no longer gets your heart racing, it’s time to step up. Full Throttle Raceway’s Open Race Events are designed for seasoned drivers who want a genuine challenge, not just laps around a track. These events combine the thrill of motorsport with a professionally managed race format to give you the ultimate indoor Stourbridge go-karting experience.

Hosted monthly at our 300m indoor circuit, our Open Events attract skilled competitors from across the West Midlands. Whether you’re chasing trophies, aiming to improve your lap times, or just want to compete with others who take racing seriously, this is where it happens.

What Makes Open Race Events Different?

Open Race Events are built for competitive drivers who want more structure, more speed, and more skill-based racing. These aren’t relaxed arrive-and-drive sessions. You’ll face qualifying heats, grid starts, full race formats, and live lap tracking.

Each event is:

  • Professionally officiated by trained marshals
  • Run using advanced race timing systems
  • Structured for performance-based competition
  • Open to both individuals and teams

Expect close battles, podium finishes, and a driver-first experience that mirrors real motorsport.

Who These Events Are For

  • Experienced karting drivers looking for a challenge
  • Full Throttle members who want to race regularly
  • Adult and teen racers aged 12+ with competitive drive
  • Local motorsport fans in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Kidderminster, Redditch, and beyond

These sessions are not intended for first-time drivers. If you’re new to karting, we recommend starting with Open Drive Time before moving into our competitive formats.
