Outdoor go-karting offers the most authentic experience: long homologated tracks, elevation changes, technical layouts and powerful petrol karts. The big complexes of the Paris region, out in the outer suburbs, line up several tracks and hundreds of karts.

It's the ideal playground to improve, to organise a Grand Prix with friends or to aim for competition.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between outdoor karting and indoor?

Outdoor circuits, out in the open air, offer longer layouts, elevation changes and often more powerful (petrol) karts, for an experience closer to real racing.

Can you drive outdoors all year round?

Yes, but open-air sessions depend on the weather. In the rain, some tracks adapt or postpone slots.

How long is an outdoor kart track?

Outdoor circuits are the longest, often from 800 m to over 1200 m, versus 300 to 500 m indoors. A long track leaves more room for overtaking and feels closer to a real race circuit.

Are outdoor karts petrol or electric?

Mostly petrol: the big outdoor complexes run four-stroke and two-stroke karts up to 390cc — the sound and power the purists come for.
