What’s Happening in Portsmouth Right Now?

Portsmouth may not have a permanent race track, but the city’s love for speed shows up in several exciting ways. Every summer, the Portsmouth Harbour Rally turns the waterfront into a high‑octane playground, with classic cars, drift demos and live music. The event usually runs for three days in July, and you can grab a family pass for under £30.

Another hotspot is the South Coast Karting Centre, just a 15‑minute drive from the city centre. They run late‑night karting sessions on Fridays and Saturdays, perfect for a quick adrenaline fix after work. Look out for the club’s “Member Monday” discount – members get 20% off any session.

Where to Find the Best Deals

We know fans love a good bargain, so here are three ways to save on Portsmouth motorsport tickets and gear:

• Early‑bird offers: Book your Harbour Rally tickets at least 30 days in advance and you’ll shave £5 off each ticket.
• Bundle packages: The South Coast Karting Centre bundles a session, helmets and a race‑day t‑shirt for a flat £45 – cheaper than buying each item separately.
• Local club memberships: Join the Portsmouth Motor Club for just £25 a year and you’ll get exclusive discounts on everything from track days to merchandise.
