Go Karts in Adelaide

How to Choose Go Kart Racing

Go-karting in Adelaide is spread across the western and northern suburbs. Two indoor electric tracks, at Hindmarsh and Elizabeth, keep racing out of the weather, and a longer circuit at Gepps Cross adds a Grand Prix format and a two-storey laser maze.

Race packages are per person: from $35 per person at Elizabeth, $39 per person at Hindmarsh and $58 per person at Gepps Cross.

Things to check with a track before booking:

Race format: practice, qualifying and a final, or simply a set number of timed sessions.
Minimum height and age for adult karts, and whether junior karts are available for kids.
Whether the track can be closed to the public for the group.
Minimum group size, since some packages start at eight or nine drivers.
Whether there is a podium, results sheet or trophy at the end of the race.
What else is on site: golf simulators, an arcade, a bar or laser tag can fill time between heats.

A Grand Prix suits a bucks group or a team that likes a leaderboard. For other ideas, look at paintball and laser tag or the 21st birthday guide.

Hindmarsh is indoor and electric, with a bar, simulators and arcade games, taking groups up to around 150.
Elizabeth is an indoor electric track laid out over several levels in a street-circuit style.
Gepps Cross runs a 600-metre circuit with indoor and outdoor sections and caps groups at 48 drivers.
Hindmarsh sits in the western suburbs, while Elizabeth and Gepps Cross are in the northern suburbs.

Racing for groups and work teams

A Grand Prix with qualifying and a final suits groups of about eight to twenty drivers.
For a larger corporate group, ask whether races can run in heats with a final for the fastest drivers.
Book a function area for food and a presentation between races or after the podium.
Ask about non-driving guests: some will want a viewing area, the bar or the arcade.

Kids, teens and safety

Check the minimum age and height for each kart class before inviting a young group.
Tracks supply helmets and run a safety briefing; ask about closed-shoe and long-hair rules.
School holidays are the busy stretch for children's race parties, so lock in a date early.
Indoor tracks keep a summer party out of the heat, with no shade plan needed.
