What to Know Before Go-Karting
Before heading to a track, check its operating hours, session prices and age or height requirements. Wear comfortable clothing and suitable covered shoes, and always follow the safety instructions provided by the track.
If you're visiting during weekends or school holidays, check whether advance booking is required to avoid arriving when your preferred session is already fully booked.
Driving to a Go-Kart Track
Once you've picked your track, don't forget that getting there is part of the experience too. If you're driving to a track outside your area, check your car's battery, tyres and fuel before setting off, particularly if you're travelling a long distance.
If your car runs into trouble along the way, Bateriku provides roadside assistance including battery replacement, jump-start, fuel delivery and towing to help get you back on the road.
