If you’re looking for a private event venue in the Greater Chicago area that’s upscale and unique, K1 Speed’s your place.

From our leather couches to our authentic motorsport memorabilia (including an IndyCar and NASCAR Cup car),  K1 Speed Buffalo Grove creates a sophisticated backdrop for your event. There’s plenty of space for guests to mingle and explore, and plenty of comfortable seating. Plus, we’ve got an abundance of entertainment to keep your guests smiling.

Our venue includes five private event spaces that can be used in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to:

• Meeting Rooms
• Party rentals such as photo booths, face painters, and more
• Dining Areas
• Conferences/Presentations
• Storage Room
• VIP Room

These rooms vary in size to accommodate as little as 12 guests (The Monaco Room) all the way up to 150 people (Le Mans Room). When you rent the entire facility, you’ll have access to every room.

When you use K1 Speed Buffalo Grove as your private event venue, you’ll have the benefit of having your caterer located onsite. Our kitchen can produce a wide variety of food options for your event: from pizzas and deli platters for casual events, to appetizers, BBQ, pastas, steaks, and seafood for more formal occasions. And the best part about it coming from our kitchen is that it’ll be fresh, hot, and on time! Need more food? That can be arranged right then as well.

K1 Speed is known worldwide for its upscale indoor go kart racing experience. Our go karts are 100% electric, so your guests won’t reek of exhaust fumes and can breathe easy with the absence of any noxious fumes circulating around.

And wait until your guests try our go karts that we import from Italy. These aren’t like those huge, slow, heavy and dirty “go karts” used at family fun centers like mini golf joints. Our karts are small, light, nimble and the fastest in the industry – approaching speeds of up to 45mph in a matter of seconds. It’s a full-on adrenaline rush that’s sure to produce nothing but smiles and laughter from all of your guests.

Afterall, there’s a reason why celebrities such as Beyoncé & Jay-Z,  Christian Bale, Usain Bolt, Lewis Hamilton, One Direction, Lonzo Ball, Dax Shepard, Heidi Klum, and countless others have squeezed a trip to K1 Speed into their busy schedule to enjoy some upscale entertainment.

Maybe some of your guests are more of the timid type, and don’t dream of becoming the next Formula One champion. Well, they can still have plenty of laughs and fun too. Our gaming area is stocked with something for everyone.

We’ve got plenty of games, from new hits to updated classics. We’ve got arcade video games, pool tables, air hockey and basketball hoops (pictured here) and prize machines for your guests to play. And there’s no height limit for the attractions here, so these games are perfect for guests of all ages.
