Go Karts in Melbourne's Western Suburbs

How to Choose Go Kart Racing

Go-karting in Melbourne's western suburbs splits neatly into outdoor and indoor. Ace Karts in Albion races on a 700-metre open-air circuit with floodlights, while Karting Madness Braybrook runs a covered track of more than 400 metres alongside laser tag and bowling. Both use Sodi karts with Honda engines.

How the two western tracks compare:

Ace Karts: Super Karts for ages 12 and up, a 105-metre straight and racing rain, hail or shine
Karting Madness Braybrook: indoor karts for drivers 14 and over, with live timing on every lap
Group size: private events at Ace Karts start at 15 drivers, and Braybrook packages start at eight
Price guides: Ace Karts from $49 per person, Karting Madness Braybrook from $55 per person
Young kids: Albion's Rookie Karts take ages six to 11, and Braybrook's electric minis start at four

Pick Albion for a long open-air lap, a reversible layout and night racing under lights
Pick Braybrook when the forecast is grim or the group wants laser tag, bowling and an arcade as well
Ace Karts handles big events, scaling from 15 drivers to 100 or more with heats, finals, relays or endurance races
The KMAD package in Braybrook pairs an eight-minute qualifier with a 25-lap grid-start race

Food, drinks and the fine print

Braybrook has a licensed café, but breath tests apply before racing
Ace Karts is cashless and needs an adult to sign for drivers under 18
