How to Choose Go Kart Racing

Karting in the inner west happens at BattleKart Melbourne, inside a 4,000 m² building at 50 McArthur St, West Footscray. There's no fixed circuit: projectors in the ceiling draw the track, bonus squares and hazards onto a 2,000 m² floor, and sensors in each electric kart respond to them.

How a game works:

A game is 15 minutes all up, including roughly two and a half minutes getting in and out of the karts
Rounds rotate through the game modes rather than lap after lap
Bonuses load onto your dashboard, and the yellow button fires a rocket that slows the kart ahead
Anti-collision karts mean a seatbelt and no helmet
Pricing from $65 per person for the first game, with extra games cheaper

No VR headset is involved – the game is projected onto the floor around you.

BattleRace, the straight race
BattleSnake and BattleColor, where trails and territory matter
BattleFoot, football played in karts
BattleVirus and BattlePool, the latter a kart-sized take on pool

Planning a group race day

Two to ten players per game; smaller groups may share the floor with other bookings unless they fill it
Height, not age, decides who drives: the cut-off is 145 cm
No walk-ins, so book online ahead, especially for Friday nights, weekends and school holidays
Non-drivers can follow the action from the snack bar in the middle, cards are the only payment, and parking on site costs nothing

Frequently Asked Questions About Go Karts

How many drivers can race together at BattleKart Melbourne?

Two to ten per game. Groups smaller than ten may share the floor with other bookings, and the venue has a corporate events team for bigger team days.

Is there a height limit for augmented-reality karting?

Yes – 145 cm is the minimum height. Age itself isn't restricted, so a child who clears that mark can drive with the adults.

Do drivers wear helmets at BattleKart?

No. The karts have an anti-collision system, so drivers simply buckle the seatbelt. Wear casual clothes, as the karts kick up a little dust.

What does a game cost in West Footscray?

From $65 per person for the first 15-minute game, and each extra game is cheaper. Payment is by card only.
