1 / 3X-Kart
📍 Rochdale, North West
Professional Driver Development Programme for aspiring racers aged 12–15. Scholarship winners receive fully funded championship seasons including high-performance karts, equipment, and race strategy coaching.
My son entered the 2022 scholarship and even though he wasn’t successful, X-Kart offered him a place in the Academy in November. Since joining (and not having any previous experience at all) he has now completed his fourth race and is part of the Factory team. I could not recommend them enough for all the efforts and support they have given us to help achieve my sons dream. They have packages to suit all budgets and are very approachable for all aspects of racing whether it is a technical question or just help with social media.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Families with a child aged 12–15 who has a genuine interest in competitive motorsport should explore the scholarship and academy pathway. No racing background is required to apply.

“We had an incredible day with the X-Kart team at the X-Kart scholarship day! It was extremely well organised from start to finish and everyone involved were so friendly. Can’t recommend Matty and his team more strongly!”
