The first of its kind in the Canberra region, Power Kart Raceway is a fully Indoor Electric Go Kart Centre. Offering Canberrans of all skill levels a chance to experience motorsports at an entry level.
Many V8 drivers including both Robert Dahlgren and Scott McLaughlin begun their foray into racing at an early age through competitive go karting. The skills learnt on the kart track are the same needed as racers progress on to higher categories of motorsports. Now locals with a passion for motorsports have the same opportunity in new world class facilities at Power Kart Raceway.
The F1 styled track at the new centre, coupled with the high performance and torque of the latest generation of electric go karts offers an exhilarating experience. Purpose made karts for juniors and adult karts make the sport of karting accessible to the whole family. With zero emissions the karts are cleaner than traditional petrol karts and the technology allows Track Marshalls to slow karts down when necessary to avoid incidents and maintain a safe controlled racing environment.
Power Kart Raceway opened its doors to the public on May 28th 2014. The last few months have been a challenging and wonderful experience for the whole team at Power Kart Raceway. With the final touches completed, we are ready to hold our official Grand Opening.
Message from the directors: “We are proud to have established Australia’s biggest and best indoor Go Karting facility right here in Canberra. Every person has a “racer within” that shows itself when they race here at Power Kart Raceway!
While establishing a new benchmark in recreational karting in Australia, Power Kart Raceway also addresses many traditional “issues” commonly associated with traditional karting. Clean initiatives such as electric power, lower noise levels, clean indoor environment. We are also proud to have provided new employment opportunities for over 50 local Canberrans”.
