MSPORT KARTING
Msport Karting has a history of training some of the best drivers in Karting. Lewis Hamilton worked with MSport’s owner Keiran Crawley through 1999-2000 and has since progressed to be a 7 time F1 World Champion. More recently MSport driver Matthew Graham won both the FIA-CIK World U18 Title along with the CIK Asia-Pacific title racing under MSport Karting’s guidance. We have now decided to offer this service to all drivers looking to get into karting whatever your age with the opening of the MSport Karting School under the direction of the Association of Racing Kart Schools licenced by the British governing body Motorsport UK. Now all drivers can benefit from truly World class coaching from the first time they step into a kart. MSport Kart School can also supply full race prepared karts for all ages from 6 upwards so you can see if you love karting like we do without outlaying any large sums on buying your own equipment. We can then take you through to completing your ARKS test and on to your first race and beyond. So whether you are the next Lewis Hamilton or you just want to race and have fun at the weekends, Msport Kart school should be your first stop.
We are based on site at Whilton Mill Kart Circuit, one of the biggest and most popular and located in the centre of the UK. It has full facilities during race and practice days including hot and cold food, and at all times drinks, changing rooms and even a hot shower if you need.

The circuit advantage Whilton Mill is one of the UK’s most demanding and respected kart circuits — a proper test of car control, braking, and racecraft. Training here, with instructors who are on-site day in, day out, gives our drivers an edge that off-site schools simply can’t offer.
COURSES:
Our courses are structured by ability, not age — so whether you’re 8 or 48, you’re coached at the right level with the right kart. All sessions run at Whilton Mill with a qualified instructor and a modern, well-maintained kart included.

For complete beginners. Covers the basics: seating position, throttle/brake control, racing line, and circuit awareness, in a safe, low-pressure environment.
Level 2 — Outdoor Leisure Drivers
For drivers with some track time who want to sharpen consistency, cornering technique, and lap times ahead of moving into competitive karting.
Level 3 — ARKS Assessment
Motorsport UK ARKS testing and preparation for drivers ready to obtain their race licence.
Level 4 — Race Licence Holders
For licensed racers looking to build race craft: starts, overtaking, defending position, and reading other drivers.
Level 5 — Advanced/Competitive Drivers
Data-supported coaching for experienced racers chasing the final tenths — set-up, advanced technique, and race strategy. Bespoke & Private Coaching. One-to-one sessions built entirely around your goals, whether that’s a single problem area or a full pre-season programme.
EQUIPMENT:
A newer, better-maintained fleet.
Every Msport kart is maintained and serviced on a strict rotation, so you’re always driving equipment that’s properly set up — not worn down from constant hire use. We run current year Tonykart chassis paired with race-prepared Rotax Max engines — the same specification used in competitive club and championship racing.
Tonykart Chassis
The current-year Tonykart chassis is the choice of champions at club and international level, offering sharp, predictable handling that responds properly to good technique — ideal for both learning correct inputs and pushing for real lap time.
Rotax Max Engines
Our engines are race-prepared and maintained to a competitive standard, giving consistent, reliable power across every session — not the tired, inconsistent engines you’ll find on a typical hire fleet.
SAFETY & MAINTENANCE:
All karts are checked before every session and serviced on a strict rotation, so reliability and safety are never an afterthought.
To find out more about becoming one of the team please contact us for details.
Engine Dyno Services
Msport was the first race team in the UK to have its own computerised dyno. Our Dyno is fully computer controlled from air speed to water temperature. We pride ourselves in being completely independent of any Engine builders, this means you can bring your equipment for an honest appraisal of performance for YOUR kit. We have all the sensors for measurements of all engine parameters from cadet classes to CIK, including Lamda.
We are specialists in Chassis maintenance and have a start of the art jig which can be utilised by all chassis sizes (cadet to senior). We also have specialist equipment for both OTK and Kart Republic chassis. You can be assured that your chassis will leave the M-Sport workshop in as new condition.
Driver Development
MSport has been at the front of British Karting for over 18 years, setup and managed by Keiran Crawley who himself has been involved in Karting for over 25 years. MSport has become a first choice for serious competitors who want to thrive and develop in both UK and European events. With multiple British and European championship wins MSport is a leading team in both the UK and Europe. Our success comes from our clear vision and experience of what is required to win races and championships. MSport is setup around this vision both at our HQ at Whilton Mill Kart Circuit and at each event we attend with our purpose built race support vehicles.
