K1 Speed Indoor Go Kart Racing is a fun way to get some safe racing done with friends, on a date, or with a team. The entire track is indoors and comfortable from inclement weather. And there is food, drink, and race watching to be had for anyone there.
There are different variations on what can be purchased, but for a team event they will generally start off with an instructional talk, separate into group sessions depending upon number of racers, and then have a final race to determine overall winners. Every lap time is recorded electronically, and a printout of each lap, best time, and comparison times to top times of the week are provided after every session on the track.
The karts are electric-powered and peppy for the tight track. It is very easy to slide tires around. It is so easy, in fact, that focusing on fast lap times requires focus on smooth driving instead of hot dogging around.
The “race officials” can throttle back or completely stop individual engines remotely, to control initial speeds or erratic drivers. Bumping is not allowed, and warnings are followed by removal from the track if needed.
It’s a fun time on the track to get some competitive juices flowing.
