    K1 Speed Concord is the ultimate stage for creating unforgettable memories in North Carolina’s home for motorsports. We’ve engineered a complete entertainment ecosystem, perfect for celebrating milestones or forging new team bonds. Our facility is a premier destination for birthday parties, bachelor(ette) parties, and corporate events in the greater Charlotte area, offering customizable packages with private spaces and catering that make planning effortless. The thrill of our venue is centered on authentic, head-to-head racing in high-performance, all-electric karts. These advanced machines deliver instant acceleration and a pure, zero-emission racing experience on our challenging indoor circuit.

     

    The entire Concord venue is a tribute to racing culture, creating a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere from the moment you arrive. After the checkered flag waves, the celebration continues with a podium ceremony—the perfect moment to capture a victory photo. Our facility is a true racing photo destination, decorated with authentic racing memorabilia that provides a stunning backdrop for every picture. We’ve combined the pulse-pounding action of indoor karting with a cutting-edge arcade and trackside dining to offer a dynamic, all-in-one experience for every guest.

Our culinary philosophy is simple: serve great-tasting, satisfying food that elevates your entire experience. We offer a menu of well-crafted favorites, from hearty burgers to classic pizzas and appetizers ideal for sharing.

For guests 21 and over who have finished their driving for the day, we feature a curated list of beer and wine to toast your victory. The Paddock Lounge ensures your time at K1 Speed is as delicious as it is exciting, providing a quality dining experience right in the heart of the action.

    Looking for the Best Karting in the Tar Heel State?

    Karting has come a long way since your parents’ childhood. If your idea of a go-kart is a cobbled-together steel chassis with an old lawn mower engine attached to it, you’re in for a surprise. At K1 Speed, we pride ourselves on building world-class entertainment venues – not simply go-kart tracks. It is this commitment to excellence that has allowed K1 Speed to become the largest karting company in the United States, with locations nationwide. We have a ton to offer, including:

    Our Karts

    What separates K1 Speed from so many other karting locations is our go-karts. All-electric, professionally designed in Europe (the worldwide epicenter of karting), and incredibly easy to drive, our karts offer a unique, pleasurable, and memorable driving experience. Unlike traditional gas-powered karts, which are noisy and tend to bog in slower corners, our karts accelerate effortlessly out of even tight hairpins with almost no sound. You may hear a slight whir from the electric motor, but other than that, what will strike you is the lack of sound! Of course, our karts also emit no exhaust fumes of any kind, which makes for an inviting atmosphere inside our locations.

    Our Tracks

    At K1 Speed Concord, our indoor go-kart racing experience will redefine what you come to expect from karting. And much of this comes down to the location itself, specifically our professionally designed race track. Our indoor tracks are smoothly graded, have high-grip surfaces that allow for maximum cornering speed, and utilize high-tech safety barriers for our competitors’ safety and assurance. Furthermore, like all of our indoor go-kart tracks, the track at our Concord location features a challenging combination of turns and straight sections, which will give you (and your kart) a full workout! Of course, when you’re not racing, you can relax in our leather couches, check out our authentic racing memorabilia, or get a bite to eat at our Pit Cafe.

    Concord’s Favorite Party Venue

    Adults celebrate on the podium at K1 Speed during a team building activity.

    Whether it’s a lively Friday night or a lazy Sunday afternoon, the easiest way to experience indoor karting at our Concord location is our Arrive & Drive package. This option allows racers of all ages* to compete in heats for the fastest lap with up to 12 other competitors – no reservation required. Simply show up with your friends and family in tow! We provide the helmets and driving instruction needed to safely compete on our track.

     

    For larger parties, we also offer a number of private race packages. Each includes multi-heat race formats, podium ceremonies for the winners, reserved race times, and exclusive access to our track. These packages are ideal for special events, business meetings, and more, such as:

     

     

    If you do decide to host a special event at our Concord indoor go-kart racing location, we have private meeting rooms available as well. Each includes complimentary WiFi access, multimedia setups, ample seating, and a private space for you and your party to escape to during race heats. To book a race package for your event, contact K1 Speed today.

    Staff was nice, just wish they would've enforced the no bumping rule. My husband had this little teenage girl thinking she was above the rules doing that to him no penalties although they had mentioned no bumping.

    This place brings out the kid in me. My kids also love this place. The carts are fast and the employees, while generally young, are very professional. There is an arcade, also. This would be a great place for a birthday party, too. The cost to race isn't cheap, but offers a valuable and unique indoor racing experience.

    I went my first time back in 2019 i think and it was great, they have the arcade and real nascar race cars to look at, and tons of merch, the karts were fun but i will say this last time i went (dec 2025) all three karts i drove were wore slap out, steering wheels had loose bolts in them and steering was sloppy, karts need to be checked and maintained by people with the correct knowledge more often!! I couldnt get under a 31.3 because all three karts got progressively worse as i drove them…
