How to Choose Go Kart Racing

Minto has had hire karts on Swettenham Road since 1996, when Fastlane Karting started running them, and the centre is set up for groups who want proper racing rather than a casual lap or two. It's an outdoor venue with two tracks: the front circuit for drivers 13 and over, and a rear circuit that runs drift karting for drivers 16 and up, with junior and twin karts for younger kids. Birthdays, bucks parties, teen parties and work Christmas parties all come here for the same reason, which is that the group formats turn a drive into an actual race.

Before you book:

  • Getting there: Fastlane is three minutes off the M5 with on-site parking, and about an eight-minute walk from public transport.
  • The experience: outdoor racing in 10-minute blocks, with a group format that runs practice, qualifying and a grid-start final.
  • Group size: the race-your-mates package needs a minimum of eight adult drivers, teen parties need at least six, and corporate events of 20 or more can hire the venue exclusively.
  • Booking lead time: group packages and after-hours corporate racing need to be arranged ahead, so contact the team well before the date.
  • Food and drinks: Fastlane is non-alcoholic; pizza can be added for $6 per person from 11am, and drinks and snacks are sold at the counter.

Casual driving starts from $39 per person, and every driver needs a Fastlane membership, which costs $12 for 12 months. The race-your-mates package is $100 per person and covers a 10-minute practice, a 10-minute qualifier and a 15-minute final, plus helmet, membership, a reserved seating area and a winner's T-shirt or trophy, and the 12th driver races free. There are indoor, outdoor and undercover areas and a viewing deck, so anyone not driving can still watch the finish.
