The online deal

Best of three. The decider’s on us.

Book three 10-minute sessions online for $99. Session one you learn the track. Session two you race it. Session three settles it, and it’s free.

  • 3 x 10 minutes on the same visit, with a breather between each
  • Every lap timed, with your times printed at the end
  • Full-face helmets and a safety briefing included
  • Race up to 10 others on an outdoor circuit built for passing

First visit? Add the $15 annual membership (covers 12 months) and a $6 balaclava if you’re using our helmets. It’s yours to keep.

The circuit

Real bitumen. Real racing.

No polished concrete or squealing tyres. Our outdoor circuit at Kembla Grange has a long straight, fast technical corners and room to pass almost everywhere. Racers drive down from Sydney for it, and some come a lot further.

  • Ungoverned hire karts. No governor cutting you off on the straight.
  • Lights for night racing at Friday Night League and the enduros.
  • Race in the wet. Light rain is a different track, not a cancellation.
  • Plenty of room to watch and plenty of parking on site.

The Race Kart Challenge

You can’t just book this kart.

Our 2-stroke race karts weigh 70 kg and rev to 15,000 rpm. First you qualify: two hire kart sessions with our crew watching. Show you can handle it, and you’re in.

Don’t qualify? The unused race kart value comes back as hire kart credit. You can’t lose.
