Adult and Junior Electric Karts
Torrance’s Best Amusement Center
K1 Speed Torrance brings family entertainment, indoor go-kart racing, an arcade, casual dining, and event spaces to LA County’s South Bay! Located on Vermont Avenue in Gardena, just off the 405 near the 110 junction, we’re just 11 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport and a short drive from San Pedro and Long Beach.
14-Turn Indoor Go-Kart Track
Our 14-turn indoor go-kart track at K1 Speed Torrance features a strong mix of technical and high-speed sections. Turns 1 through 3 are much faster than you’d think – try to keep the throttle down as much as you can while hitting the apexes, and you’ll be rewarded with faster lap times.
High-Performance Electric Go-Karts
We have two different types of go-karts at K1 Speed Torrance: OTL Storm karts for teens and adults, and Junior Karts for kids. Our Storm karts can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour, while our Junior Karts can reach up to 25 miles per hour. And both kinds of karts are fully electric. This means they’re not only safer for the environment, but they also don’t leave you smelling like exhaust when you leave. And thanks to the karts’ instant torque, you’ll have faster acceleration than most gas karts, too! For more comparison, read our blog about the differences between electric karts and gas karts.
There’s no age requirement to race our go-karts, just height restrictions. So make sure you read our Know Before You Go guide to find out how tall you have to be, what you should wear before visiting, and other great information.
Birthday Parties & Corporate Events
K1 Speed Torrance is the best event venue in South LA County for birthday parties, corporate events, and other special occasions!
We’ve got two private event rooms, both of which can seat up to 40 guests, that are perfect for meetings and celebrations. Need more space? You can also buy out our entire facility!
Arcade Games
Step off the track and keep the competitive energy flowing in our vibrant arcade at K1 Speed Torrance. It’s the perfect place to challenge your friends and family after a thrilling race, with a diverse collection of games designed for all ages and skill levels.
The space buzzes with the classic sounds of air hockey pucks flying and the dynamic lights of modern video games. Whether you’re testing your aim in a shooter or trying for a three-pointer at the basketball hoops, there’s an exciting new challenge waiting around every corner.
Podium-Worthy Plates at the Paddock Lounge
After the intensity of the race, the Paddock Lounge offers the perfect trackside retreat to relax and refuel. Unwind in a comfortable and casual atmosphere where you can watch the on-track action while enjoying a menu full of delicious, crowd-pleasing options. Grab a juicy burger, share a freshly prepared pizza with your crew, or dive into savory appetizers like wings and mozzarella sticks. It’s more than just a snack bar; it’s a welcoming eatery designed to satisfy your post-race hunger and provide a great space to relive the highlights of your heat.
No victory celebration is complete without the perfect toast. The Paddock Lounge features a fantastic selection of beverages to complement your meal. For guests 21 and over who have finished driving for the day, we offer a curated list of popular beers and wines, ideal for celebrating a podium finish. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite between races or settling in with friends and family, the Paddock Lounge is the social hub where good food and great times come together.
Our Indoor Kart Track
Our indoor kart track is professionally designed to meet exacting standards, and to provide racers with both a fun and safe environment in which to test their skills and the performance of our karts. All of our indoor kart tracks feature Protex barrier systems to absorb energy in the event of a collision or accident, and our karts feature remote shutoff and remote power modulation should the track conditions require it.
Unlike gas-powered karts, which cannot be shut off remotely in the event of an on-track incident, we can to ensure safety. Our karts also feature seatbelts and roll bars, features absent on many gas-powered karts. We want you to have fun and be safe. Experience the thrill and undeniable fun of indoor go-kart racing today – visit K1 Speed Torrance in West Los Angeles.

First time out here, staff was friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable if you bundle and the track is nice with some challenging turns. Went on a Saturday and it wasnt too packed which is probably a rarity but it was nice to not wait long between races.

My mom had her 56th bday party here. Yes, 56th! 🤣 She had never been gocart racing, so she found K1 and gave it a shot. I gotta say, we all had a good time. I liked the leader boards being visible as I raced, and the printout with our times and how we placed after the race. At the end there was a medal ceremony and I knew it was going to be a cheap plastic medal, and it wasnt! It was actually nice. I was 1st place out of all the women and men. Some of our people got a little injured from being hit by other riders... my nephew shook his pain off, the older people who got hit had some minor whiplash and pain through their body. The food was whatever... but I wasnt expecting much in that dept. Over all a good time. Staff was helpful and very friendly.

Huge shoutout to Artur for running the July and August GPs at K1 Speed Torrance! The event was organized flawlessly from start to finish. The karts were well-maintained with zero mechanical failures, and the racing was clean and fair across the board. Great job keeping the competition top-tier!"

The place itself is good for some driving fun but of course, there are people on the track that you don't know that certainly have no regard for others and will intentionally crash into you and may lead to some back or neck injury. The staff keeps an eye out and slows or stops the carts when they notice the bumping or bad drivings and issues warnings.
