An incredible track to go kart on. It's hard not to get distracted by the scenery when you're in the karts! We were there while motorbike racing was on and it was a great atmosphere to race the karts in. The briefing at the beginning was good - comprehensive but not too long. Definitely felt comfortable with the level of... More

We had a ball on the go-carts. The track replicated the real Phillip island track and the carts went around 60km/h. The price was ridiculously overpriced was the biggest downfall. We spent around $130 for 20minutes. The carts are good quality and well maintained as is the track. We thought of playing slot cars but at $8 each to play... More

Went on the Go Karts at the Grand Prix track. So much fun. I am 59 and the best time especially beating my husband's time not once but twice. The staff were very helpful, lots of fun and looked after us. They went beyond their job roles and made you feel very special. Have a go, it's great fun. More

My review is based soley on my go karting experience at phillip island. With 22 karts on the track at the same time the track is completely overcrowded with no chance whatsoever to attempt any best lap times. Extremely frustrating! The kart I was given had horrible braking. When testing its straight line braking the kart would twist off in... More

We called in but you cannot see the circuit from the reception area. If you are a Rev Head then you can do be taken on a lap or a tour at a cost. More
