karting events

We will begin searching for the best young drivers in the Kingdom with a specially designed ‘Arrive & Drive’ karting track in the Fanzone at the first ever WTCR race weekend in Saudi Arabia, on November 26th and 27th, and other upcoming events such as the third version of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on March 17th to 19th.

Sessions will be open each evening for all kids between the ages of 6 -12 within the 110cm – 155cm height range. No experience is necessary, with experienced instructors and marshals on hand, to oversee the young drivers, in a low-powered electric race kart. Everything needed for the session, including race kart, balaclava and helmet will be provided on site.

Introduction to Karting

• Karting is a type of motor-racing sport in which small, open, four-wheeled vehicles called karts (or go-karts) are used for racing
• Karting is a very popular recreational activity and is also contested competitively
• Karting is considered to be the entry point in motorsports before going into higher types of motorsports
• Barring a few exceptions, most of today’s top professional racing drivers (Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen) all started their careers in karting
• Racing is usually done on a small, specifically designed ‘scaled down’ circuit
• It is the simplest and cheapest form of motorsports

General information

• Drivers must be between 6 to 12 years old AND a minimum height of 110cm, maximum height of 155cm.
• Each kart consists of a rear mounted-motor (petrol or electric), skeleton-frame chassis, bucket seat, 4 wheels, stearing wheel, brake and an accelerator 
• It gives you all the fun, excitement and high performance of real racing at a fraction of the cost
• Karting is the fastest growing type of motorsport around the world
