Purpose-built by Tilke, the 650-metre kart track delivers pure, unfiltered fun. With challenging banked corners, an 8-metre-wide layout and precision MYLAPS timing, it’s designed to test your skill and competitive edge.
The principles mastered here – race strategy, overtaking discipline, vehicle control under pressure - are the same foundations used in professional racing, making it an ideal pathway for driver development. Our electric karts can be powered up or down to suit every skill level and age; there’s a place on the grid for every driver.
This purpose-built wet and dry training environment allows drivers to safely explore the limits of performance handling, from mastering slides to executing emergency braking with confidence.
Drivers experience the kind of surprises the open road can deliver - and learn exactly how to respond. Featuring a kick plate and irrigated surface, the arena uses a hydraulic system to simulate unpredictable real world scenarios, placing the car into a deliberate slide to refine reaction and recovery skills.
