How to Choose Go Kart Racing

Racing your friends round a circuit settles old arguments fast and gives the group something to talk about all night. Melbourne's kart tracks on this page sit in the Inner South and the west, and each one handles a party differently.

Auscarts Racing Port Melbourne runs a 450 m indoor circuit on Salmon St, with a track-side bar and function rooms, and race packages for 6 to 300 drivers from $58 per person. Karting Madness Braybrook has an indoor track of more than 400 m plus laser tag, bowling and a licensed café, from $55 per person.

Ace Karts in Albion is the outdoor choice: a 700m circuit lit for night racing, exclusive hire for 15 or more and smoked BBQ catering, from $49 per person. BattleKart Melbourne in Footscray does something else again, with electric karts racing over tracks and game modes projected onto the floor, for groups of two to ten from $65 per person.

Pick a track by the group you have:

  • A big corporate field: Auscarts Racing Port Melbourne
  • Kids in the mix: Karting Madness Braybrook from age four, or Rookie Karts for ages 6 to 11 at Ace Karts
  • Racing under lights: Ace Karts
  • A small group that wants games rather than laps: BattleKart Melbourne

Karting is a natural fit for a bucks party, and the paintball and laser tag page covers more ways to compete.
