Hi, my name is Dan Willison. I've been a karting instructor at Midland Karting for several years, and I specialise in teaching students of all levels, including children with learning difficulties.
I've done karting at almost all levels including competitive and was part of the Naval Karting Team from 2003-2008 and raced in several championships. I've trained 10 Current Champions that have all learned their skills from a well-organised and disciplined approach to karting, and countless others that are still on their motorsport journey with me. Private training sessions with myself cost £120, but I get results.
If you would like to book me specifically when choosing an instructor, please let the sales team know when placing your booking.

Hi I'm Stu, I am General Manager at Midland Karting. My passion for karting began in my teens along with my best friend, Lee. We embarked on multiple disciplines of karting, mainly Formula 100 and Rotax. Competing at club and national level all over the UK.
As a fairly big kid growing up, I was never at the front, but always fighting for positions and having clean battles along the way. My passion diminished after the sad loss of my best friend, then having my own children and reigniting the passion within them and now helping them compete in club championships and Club 100 plus. Changing my career path earlier this year and joining the Midland Karting Team, I have never been more happy and content to pass on my knowledge within the sport. Whether that be mechanics, teaching on track, or maintenance, I love to be involved in all aspects of the sport.
