From Runways to Racetracks – The Unexpected Birth of Wight Karting
Did you know that where engines now roar at Wight Karting, planes once took off into the sky?
This unique Isle of Wight business transformed the former Ryde Airport into a high-speed hub of adrenaline, strategy, and pure racing fun. ✈️➡️️
What began as an airfield has evolved into one of the Island’s most thrilling attractions — a story of innovation, resilience, and community spirit. It’s not just about go-karts… it’s about how you repurpose the past to race into the future.
I just dropped a reel that dives into this fascinating journey — from landing strips to lap times.
Entrepreneurs, Island locals, and curious minds — this one’s for you.
Watch the reel, and let us know if you remember Ryde Airport in its heyday? (you’d need to be 90 years +) Free race for anyone who can tell us more and has never been to Wight Karting.
