Autobahn Indoor Speedway Joins K1 Speed!
K1 Speed Grows By 11 Locations and 4 States Overnight!
Exciting news for fans of K1 Speed – Autobahn and Accelerate Indoor Speedway have joined our team, which means we now have eleven more centers and serve four more states in this country!
Read on to learn more!
As a result of this exciting news, we now have 83 locations in 29 states and seven countries! Additionally, we can now call four additional states our home: Maryland, New York, Wisconsin and Alabama.
Over the coming weeks, all nine Autobahn locations and its two sister Accelerate locations will transition to the look and feel of K1 Speed. While the “arrive and drive” all-electric karting experience remains largely unchanged, we’ll enhance opportunities for their more serious racers. Autobahn’s previous eight-week leagues will expand to our year-long Challenge GP leagues and Autobahn’s national championship will now become international since their locations will be part of our E-World Championship. As you know, our championship features one of the largest karting prize purses globally and spans over 80 locations and seven countries. This also means Pennsylvania, Illinois, Virginia, Florida, and Tennessee all have more competitors, starting with the 2025 State Championships
And there are other positive changes in store for these new facilities. While most existing Autobahn locations currently offer limited food and drink options, we’re going to start adding our Paddock Lounge café at every center to provide guests with more choices. Additionally, each center will soon get an arcade with an array of video games, prize machines, and skill-based games, providing entertainment for everyone!
We’re super excited to have these great locations as a part of our family. While they still have lots of work to go before they look and feel like the K1 you know and love, feel free to visit and wish all the team members a warm welcome!

now that it is K1, are the STEM academy and field trips still an option as before?
Staff Writer
Hello, Antonio! While we currently do not have plans for that, it is something we’ll consider for the future. Thank you!
Tyler Stankavich
Has the Milwaukee Autobahn been updated to K1 since the acquisition? I loved the Canton, Ohio location and just moved to Wisconsin. Cannot wait to visit.
Staff Writer
Hello, Tyler! We’re getting there! The inside is mostly complete, but the outside signage is the same for now – so don’t be alarmed if you see the Accelerate signage still on the outside of the building. We’re going to be doing some more construction next week that should bring the center to 100% K1 Speed look and feel. We can’t wait to see you at the track!

I been going to K1 for years. This is great news. I heard about the location coming to the Woodlands Texas can I have more information. I would love to be there for opening.
Staff Writer
Hello, Josh! Thanks for your support! We’ll have more information about our new location in The Woodlands in the coming months. We can’t wait to see you there!
R. Mann
Hello,
My partner and I big racing enthusiasts. However, our nearest location for racing is in Birmingham, about 2 hours away from Huntsville – The Rocket City!
K1 would most certainly benefit having a venue here, specifically in the growing mid-city area. In fact, we did have different branded karting center that was closed due to poor management years ago…
K1 would be popular with the large car community here, and you would be the only track in Huntsville! Also, having a racing league here would be such a dream come true. I would participate in one hand’s down, if there was a location close enough.
Please consider Huntsville as your next location… I truly believe there is potential here!
Staff Writer
Thanks for the suggestion, R. Mann, we’ll keep that mind! In the meantime, hope we’ll see you in Birmingham from time to time!
AJ Jad
I’m a teen just wondering whether I’ll be able to compete in rental karting. Seems interesting. What’s the day to sign up??
Staff Writer
Hello, AJ! Thanks for your interest in K1 Speed! To compete in our Arrive & Drive races, you can stop by any time during our operational hours. We’re open seven days a week. To compete in our Teen Challenge GP race league, the next event is on April 2nd. So sign up that evening at 6pm. Racing begins at 6:30pm that night. Hope to see you there!
Eric Henderson
May I use my own Helmet??
Staff Writer
Hi Eric! You can, as long as it’s at least DOT approved and has full face protection. If you don’t have a visor, you’ll need to wear goggles. See you at the track!
Hailey Dyer
Why did Accelerate changed into K1??
Staff Writer
Hello, Hailey! The owners of Accelerate saw the benefits of their center turning into K1 Speed, so Accelerate and Autobahn joined us to transition over!
Paul Smith
lets open a new location in Huntsville Alabama. I own a 35,000 sq foot building that is perfect. Love the K1 in Nashville, spent a few hour there yesterday.
Staff Writer
Hi, Paul! Thanks for the comment. We’ll pass your message on. If interested, we’ll be in touch!
Eric Bugaile
I still have autobahn gift cards remaining. Can I use them at K1?
Staff Writer
