K1 Circuit is certainly NOT like bumper cars. In fact, our go-karts are much quicker, more responsive, and more expensive! That’s why we discourage any sort of contact with our karts out on the track. If we find someone intentionally bumping, they may be ejected from the race. Additionally, if a racer is found to have damaged a kart due to their driving, they may be held responsible for the damage to the kart. So keep your racing clean at K1 Circuit!

While racing has its inherent risks, K1 Circuit takes every measure possible to ensure all customers enjoy an authentic racing experience in a safe environment. First, our track was built to CIK-FIA specifications which is very strict about safety. All rental go-karts are routinely checked and serviced. We also provide our rental kart drivers with rental suits that are abrasion-resistant and DOT-approved helmets. And any driver found to not be racing responsibly can either have their go-kart speed decreased remotely by a member of our track staff or can be ejected from competition to ensure the safety of others. Prior to each race, every driver is given a safety briefing that goes over track safety, rules, flag and sign meanings, and kart operation.

Drivers wearing short-sleeve shirts and shorts may race, but wearing a rental suit will be mandatory. Our abrasion-resistant rental suits are strongly recommended for everyone for maximum protection. If you have your own karting suit with abrasion resistance, you can wear your own suit. Karting gloves are provided with every rental kart membership.

All you need to bring to K1 Speed is yourself, a form of payment, and the appropriate attire (see previous question), plus a pair of gloves (gardening gloves at a minimum if not karting/racing gloves). We’ll provide the headsock, helmet, kart, and suits.

Although K1 Circuit is made possible by the same team behind K1 Speed, the K1 Circuit rental kart experience is very different to the experience found at K1 Speed. The karts are capable of much higher speeds and behave differently than their indoor counterparts. Additionally, the outdoor track provides more varied driving conditions than the mostly constant driving conditions found indoors. Making the move to K1 Circuit from K1 Speed delivers a next-level racing experience and a new challenge for even the most experienced indoor kart racers.

While each rental go-kart is identical, some drivers may be driving at a faster speed than others depending on the level of their K1 Circuit license. For more information about our licenses and what is required for a license that provides higher speed, please review our Arrive & Drive page.
