Indoor Go-Kart Racing Irvine

The world’s premier indoor karting: two tracks, all-electric karts, arcade, and the Paddock Lounge café. What kind of day are you planning?

The Tracks

Two Tracks, Timed to the Thousandth

Every race is transponder-timed and the records are posted. Here’s what you’re up against.

Irvine Track 1

Track 1

Adult record 22.963 · S. O’Hearn

The flagship. A high-speed straight into a sharp 180, the full-throttle S-Turns, a tight hairpin, and the switchback to the line. Aim for the 23-second range.

Irvine Track 2

Track 2

Adult 18.941 · S. O’Hearn Junior 21.547 · Peyton A

Simpler but more technical, with a rhythm you’ll want to dance to. Three tightening final turns reward precision. Aim for 19 seconds (adults) or 22 (juniors).

“We had a blast here for a company outing. We did the mini Grand Prix and they took great care of us. The food at the bar is surprisingly good! All in all we were all pumped after the fun racing and medal presentation and enjoyed a good time together away from work.”

“We had our kids bday party here. The kids went absolutely WILD and had a flippin’ blast. The staff was excellent to us and were very kind and patient. I kept hearing the kids telling their parents that they want to do this for their bday parties as well.”
