Go-kart race
at your venue
Everyone can steer a go-kart, so the clock decides who wins. We lay out the course and take care of the timing.
Why the clock matters more than speed
A go-kart race without timing is over within ten minutes. People drive a lap, enjoy it, and get out again. With a measured time that changes, because then everyone wants to know where they stand and whether that one bend could be faster.
So we always lay out a course where braking and steering gain more than pedalling hard. That makes the result unpredictable: the fittest participant rarely wins here, and that keeps everyone else motivated to have another go.
What we provide
We bring everything, set up before the group arrives and take down again afterwards. You don't have to buy or hire anything yourselves.
- Go-karts in several sizes, adjusted for each participant
- A marked-out course with cones, bends and a chicane
- Timing and a league table that is kept up to date live
- Hosting at the start, the changeovers and safety on the track
Where can a go-kart race take place?
A go-kart race belongs on a paved surface, and that is the only real restriction. Grass doesn't work: the wheels sink in and the course becomes impossible to ride as soon as it has rained once.
If you have a car park, a courtyard or an area of company grounds that's free on the day, we'll lay out the course there. That saves money and is easiest for the participants, because nobody has to go anywhere else. If there isn't a suitable site, we'll arrange one that fits the group size.
If you want something physical that needs no paved surface, see the assault course or footgolf. Both simply run on grass.
What does a go-kart race cost?
A compact half-day programme starts at €195.
Group size, duration and the number of go-karts determine the amount. If a site has to be added because you don't have one yourselves, that appears as a separate line in the quote, so you can see exactly what you're signing up for.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of site is needed for a go-kart race?
A go-kart race needs a paved surface and space: asphalt, paving stones or concrete, and a continuous area of about thirty by twenty metres. A car park, company grounds outside working hours or a closed-off courtyard works well. If you don't have that, we'll make sure a suitable site is available.
From what age can participants ride?
From about eight years old a child drives a course independently, provided they can reach the pedals. We bring go-karts in different sizes and adjust the seat for each participant. For younger children we lay out a shorter and simpler course with fewer sharp bends.
What happens if it rains on the day itself?
In light rain a go-kart race simply goes ahead, because the go-karts can handle it. In persistent rain paved surfaces become slippery and it's no longer a good idea. That's why we agree at booking what we do if it rains all day, for example rescheduling or moving to a different activity indoors.
How many people can drive at the same time?
A few participants drive on the course at the same time, so with a large group we work with start intervals and a time ranking. While one group drives, the other does a different activity. That way there is no queue of people waiting for a turn.
