I haven't driven go-karts before. How do I do it?

Everyone who drives with us must register before driving and fill in their personal data, this for insurance and liability purposes, when registering you also accept the rules that apply on the track. Children under the age of 13, a responsible adult needs to register in order to register the child/children.

If you have not driven a go-kart with us before, you must also watch our 4 minute instructional video before driving. The video shows how the go-kart works and goes through the rules that apply on the go-kart track. Click here to watch the instructional video before your visit. You can also play our go-kart game where you can test the track on your phone before you come! See more here

All driving is at your own risk and you as a parent/adult are responsible for your children. You as a parent/adult are also responsible for ensuring that children under the age of 18 understand and take note of all information provided via the instructional video and that helmets and seat belts are properly fitted. If you are unsure, ask our staff in the pit before starting the ride.

Tips for driving;

  • Don't go too fast in the beginning, get to know the track.
  • Brake before the curve, roll through and then accelerate gently out of the curve to reduce the risk of skidding. Skidding costs a lot of time...
  • See our track map for the optimal driving track.
  • Keeping your eyes up and looking far ahead means you are less likely to get carsick.

Is that safe?

Safety is our number one priority. Our go-kart track is as safe as a go-kart track can be! Unlike traditional steel-framed go-karts, our go-karts have a fully flexible crash frame that absorbs the force of a collision, 4-point and 3-point seat belts, adjustable seat, headrest, sprung steering column and rear axle protection. The cars are also equipped with an electronic safety system, which means that our staff can easily slow down or shut down all cars by remote control if something unforeseen happens. The safety system can also adjust the speed of the cars in four steps. For example, the very youngest and beginners can drive at a lower speed until they become comfortable with handling the go-kart.

There are always staff at the track who ensure that the rules are followed, in the event of a rule violation, the driver can be excluded from further driving.

 

Can we bring our own food and drink?

You are not allowed to bring your own food or drink. We offer food and have full alcohol rights. We also have a café in our lounge. It offers drinks, snacks, ice cream and food.

Is there room for spectators?

Those who do not drive are welcome to our lounge where you have a full overview of the go-kart path through the large panoramic windows. On the LED screens you can also follow the results of those who drive, see who will run next, see leaderboards from the day/week/month, etc.

How fast are your gokarts?

For us, the obvious choice for indoor go-kart is electric karts, who wants to be in a indoor environment full of exhaust and noise? With the electric karts we also get better torque and faster acceleration. Due to the high torque, the weight difference between drivers becomes less significant. The top speed on the straight is around 60 km/h and the power of the go-karts is around 14 hp.

Do you have double-seater carves?

Yes, we have 3 double seat / handicap friendly karts. These go-karts are for children from about 90cm, disabled or beginners.
The price is the same as driving a regular go-kart.

How is my personal data processed?

We guarantee that all personal information is confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties. The information we require of our customers when registering membership is only used for insurance and liability purposes. Email address is mandatory for our members and is used in our news and event letters.
