Conveniently located on the Peninsula, just minutes from SFO, we are the perfect answer for “fun things to do near San Francisco” for any group, in any weather. Whether you’re escaping Karl the Fog or looking for a weekday escape, our massive, climate-controlled facility isn’t just a racetrack; it’s a complete destination.

We are the top Bay Area destination for family fun, unforgettable birthday parties, and innovative corporate events.

Track Layout

 

The South San Fran track has 13 turns. Turn 1 is a left-hand hairpin, followed by a long straight. Watch for overtaking in the next section, through Turn 4. A winding section then wraps back around near the start, with a couple of braking zones before the Start/Finish Line. Preview the SFO Track

Updated: If you plan to go here fairly often and your goal is to make your best lap, ask them to unlock the cart to its full potential. It does make the difference. They have a smart way to do it. Once you are privy to a good time lap on normal speed, then they will unlock the full speed for a few laps. I just made my personal best last time.This is undoubtedly fun. The circuit and the kart are better than I thought initially. When the karts are completely unlocked, they go fast and are very fun.But... many times the race was stopped or slowed down because of someone bumping into the guard rail or spinning. It is a bit annoying having people that don't know at all how to drive or let pass the fastest one. But I guess this is understandable.Definitely the most annoying part was, at one point, during our second ride, the computer that was keeping the timing and positions glitched and none of the times, laps, or positions were recorded. It is part of the fun seeing how fast you can go and see if you get the best time lap.Besides this glitch, overall it was a fun experience and I will probably go back.

edit: I was really loved to race, although we couldn’t make it in time and I had to fly, they could accommodate it in my state, in summarization, they apologized for a mistake they made and did accommodation, I like it now 🙂 thank you very much mr aziz 🙏

Had a fun afternoon here with friends, and it was a great way to spend a few hours. The best part for me was how quickly the races get competitive. The indoor track was well set up, and the electric karts gave enough speed to make the races exciting without feeling overwhelming. I also liked that the staff gave clear instructions before getting on the track, which made the whole process easier for first-timers. 4.5stars
