Another track I'd suggest, closer to where I am studying at university this time, 3 Sisters circuit, near Wigan. It is multipurpose track with numerous layouts. I did an endurance race there in October 2018. The layout used for Karting has more of a variety of corners than Surbiton, even holding sessions and races under floodlights. As for the track, it doesn't just host karting, it also hosts events like drifting for example. Local Motorsport teams have used it for testing purposes as well
In my local track you need to only brake at one U-turn corner, if you brake in other turns you will lose momentum, if you manage to brake only in the U-turn you can make 54-53 seconds per lap
There was a track near where I live and if you knew you're way around, you could set a lap without lifting. They had three layouts in the tracks life (closed due to covid) and on one of them I set one of the top five fastest times there.
This was my first ever karting track. I finally got the flat-out lap nailed after many attempts. Then I went to Daytona sandown and realised you do actually need to brake lol
