Go Karts in Macarthur

How to Choose Go Kart Racing

Karting in Macarthur splits between the suburban edge near Campbelltown and the rural fringe past Picton, and the two ends suit quite different days out. Fastlane Karting is on Swettenham Road in Minto, three minutes off the M5, while Picton Karting Track lies out at Maldon, just beyond Picton, at 200 Picton Road.

Fastlane is built for short, competitive bursts in 10-minute blocks and prices from $39 per person. Picton leans towards longer race days on a 640-metre circuit, priced from $80 per person, with private Grand Prix events for 10 to 60 drivers.

Choosing between Minto and Maldon comes down to a few things:

Travel time: Minto is barely off the motorway, while Maldon means a longer run down Picton Road
Speed: the quickest machines are Picton's 23HP Rotax karts, while Fastlane's back track is set up for drifting (16 and up)
Track to yourselves: Picton's Grand Prix format is private for 10 or more, and Fastlane can arrange exclusive hire for 20 or more
Younger drivers: Fastlane hosts teen parties (12 to 17), and Picton puts on junior karting parties for kids 7 to 14
Refreshments: Fastlane is non-alcoholic with pizza and counter snacks, and Picton's kiosk sells pies, sausage rolls and hot drinks

Both venues race outdoors. For long team events, Picton runs tag-team endurance races lasting from one hour to eight, while Fastlane can put on team enduros and after-hours racing for corporate groups.

Mates after a quick contest: Fastlane's three-stage format of practice, qualifying and a final
Drivers who want real power: Picton's Rotax Grand Prix, which runs with as few as five
Large work groups: Picton hosts Grand Prix days for up to 60 drivers
A parent racing with a small child: twin karts at both tracks
