Frequently asked questions

Got questions about our go karts? Whether you’re a first-timer, a parent booking for kids, or chasing pure speed, here are the answers you need before hitting the track.

How are your Super Karts rated for performance?

Arrow down white icon

We wanted the best karts in the world, so we went to France and partnered with SodiKart, the global leader in racing chassis. Powered by Honda engines, our Super Karts deliver a high power-to-weight ratio, self-adjusting brakes and agility you can feel in every corner. Capable of reaching 75 km/h even in the rain, their performance is unmatched on Melbourne’s only true outdoor circuit. Find out how our go kart steering works for more performance-based information. 

How are your Super Karts rated for safety?

Arrow down white icon

Our Super Karts are built to French automotive standards and meet all Australian karting safety requirements. Each kart undergoes a 22-point safety inspection before and after every session by our in-house mechanics. With roll bars, safety belts and patented impact protection, you can race with confidence knowing safety is built in.

What makes your Super Karts better than others out there?

Arrow down white icon

The Super Kart is the flagship of our fleet, designed with 30 years of SodiKart innovation. It’s engineered to combine speed, handling and comfort, so you can push harder without sacrificing control. No other Melbourne karting venue offers this level of performance — especially in wet or night racing conditions.

What is the best go kart for beginners?

Arrow down white icon

The Rookie Kart is purpose-built for new drivers, with governed engines and easy-to-handle controls. It’s the perfect way to learn the track and gather tips on driving a go kart for the first time, while still enjoying real racing speed. For younger kids, our 2-Seater Kart lets them join the fun alongside an adult driver.

What is the best go kart for kids?

Arrow down white icon

Kids aged 6+ can drive Rookie Karts safely, while younger passengers (from 4 years old and 100 cm tall) can ride in a 2-Seater Kart. Each kart includes safety features like colour-coded pedals and padded seating. With clear rules and supervision, every child can feel the thrill of the track.

Do you race in all weather?

Arrow down white icon

Yes. Our outdoor track runs rain, hail or shine. Wet conditions create a whole new challenge, giving drivers the chance to test skill and control in slippery conditions. With track lighting and safety protocols, racing continues, whatever the weather. Plus, we're the perfect place to host any party. Whether it's a corporate function or kids' birthday party, we guarantee that everyone will enjoy a competitive day of go karting.
