We didn’t have the best experience when we visited Teamsport Birmingham the other day as me and 6 others had booked a adult only racing session which when we arrived we found out that was a lie as our session had 6-7 Junior drivers with no karting experience whatsoever.It then took around 2 full laps under yellow flag conditions until the whole groups ( around 16 people) passed their braking test in the pits. When everyone completed this however, the session consisted of several red flags due to crashes by junior drivers with most of the laps being under yellow flag conditions; During this 1st session we had around 20-30 seconds under green flag conditions which was pretty much yellow flag speed due to the amount of drivers on track.This first session was terminated early by the trackside marshals which followed a brief to all drivers about why they ended the session etc. We were then promised an extended 2nd session which we had to wait 30 mins before we got called down to track again. This 2nd session ran way smoother due to all the junior drivers being pulled out of this session which left around 10 adults or teenagers on track. We all completed our brake tests during half a lap and got the green flag in rapid time. This green flag conditions carried on throughout the session with no red flags and a few small periods of yellow which is understandable. However when the chequered flag came out we all thought it was a short session. When we got back into our cars we added up the lap times and found out we were only on track for 11 mins which was supposed to be a “extended session”. I’m not usually one to complain but paying over £300 for a party of 7x17 year olds who most don’t have well paying jobs is a bit disappointing with the lack of racing we endured. However, following my complaint i had a quick, understanding response from a very polite team member of teamsport birmingham who gave me and my party vouchers to come again at a later date. This quick response caused me to write this review as i have been to this venue before several times and have always been really impressed in the punctuality and quality of marshalling and how well they look after you and it was nice to be able to go back there after a very disappointing experience we had.I definitely recommend teamsport Birmingham as it is one of the best tracks i have raced on before and the staff are great and very friendly.
