Located on the main road of Jalan Ida Bagus Mantra, Gianyar, they provide the ultimate competitive driving platform for all ages and skill levels. From spontaneous racers to the most experienced drivers, this is the quickest and easiest way to give you the adrenaline rush you cannot achieve on the normal roads in Bali. Here, you can also experience a lap time system where you will get the chance to have your name on a live, scoreboard screen.

Their ‘Arrive & Drive’ style is as simple as doing just that. You can either book in advance or pop up at the venue, and off you go to the track. Of course, some basic instructions will be provided by the crew, including how to properly handle the 270-CC-engine-power kart. You will also get a chance to be familiar with the crazy turns of a 300-metre track before you hit the pedal and get up to 70 kilometres per hour. The track is made of smooth asphalt with a given security in the form of used tires lining the sides of the track. Since the circuit is not that long, a maximum of only 4 drivers is allowed during each race.
