Go-karting

Race karts around an indoor or outdoor track. Go-karting is simple. You get a briefing, a helmet and a kart, then race against the clock or each other.

Most venues run a short qualifying round followed by a grand prix. Group packages often include timing sheets and a prize. It works well for mixed ages, because the karts can be set to different speeds.
