I took myself, wife and 2 boys today. We had a great time. We played arcade games and bowled. Also my wife and I had some drinks. Mateo poured us awesome drinks at the bar and the prices were awesome. We’ll definitely be going back.

These electric karts are very nippy and the location is indoors so unaffected by the hot Florida sun or torrential down pours. I’ve karted before elsewhere a couple of times and would say that this is better than others I’ve tried. My daughter had never done it before and said it was great fun (I let her beat me 👍)

Had an awesome time. Our groupon deal gave us arcade credit which we used while we waited for our race. The arcade games are fairly priced and fun. Kart racing was a blast. The cars are quick and the course is challenging. Staff didn't give any instructions as to operating the carts, but I managed to figure it out. Lol. We celebrated our meager race times with Hersheys Ice Cream, my favorite.

Really fast paced karts that pack a punch when you floor the pedal.
And apart from the usual idiots who think they own the track ( yes , I'm talking about you in the white t-shirt ) , it's so much fun.
However , the races are only 8 mins long and will be over before you know it , so one race will never be enough.
A family of 4 or 5 might find it a bit expensive to have a few races.

Very good place to visit in Orlando. Cars are great and can be very fast when they let you speed! If you want to skip the lines try going on weekdays. I did not have to wait for my races. The staff is very friendly and help you with everything you need. Will visit again, thanks!!

Track and carts were pretty good and fun but staff and operation were disorganized. I wasn’t disappointed to the point where I wouldn’t return but they can definitely improve.

Me and my partner visited on a Saturday afternoon. We had to wait 2 hours and a half for a heat which was understandable but when we finally got on it was downhill from there, a woman crashed in front of me and I hit into her as I was closely behind her and we were going round a bend.
The staff took over a minute and required 3 of them to pull my Kart off her arm, my left thumb is bruised from the accident.
When they finally got her my kart off her I apologised to her even though it wasn't technically either of our faults and continued to race, a man in the woman's group then hit into me twice at high force. One of the staff members came over and said that the man has been given a warning.. Although 2 warnings should mean you're out of the race, the man then left with the woman in his group and I was told 2 minutes would be added onto my race for the inconvenience although I realised after getting our results it was a 2 minute penalty added on for no reason.
After this another man in the group crashed into my partner at high speed causing her ear to bleed, yet no warning was given, whether the staff were unaware or not is worrying seeing as children are allowed to race here and the karts can reach 45mph.
Following this the same man that hit into my partner which hadn't left then hit into me at high speed and again no warning was given. When it came to the end of the race I realised we all ended the race at the same time and no extra time was given although I had to stop twice for over a minute each time for reasons that were not my fault.
The staff are extremely unprofessional and mostly spoke in Spanish to each other even when the first accident happened.
I saw what seemed to be the manager near the track at one point which made no effort to speak to me or my partner and was gone by the time the race had ended.
The health and safety training of the staff is definitely not adequate for this place.

I started going here when they opened, and have on many occasions enjoyed everything very much. I love collecting my track times and trying to better them. On this visit, it was very different. First they now have you watch a video (and improvement from before for those that have not been here before) and they now help with the helmets (again, an improvement from before even if I don't need the assistants as I am extremely familiar with helmets, but most people do need that help). What I was extremely disappointed with and may never return because of, was the facility for the racing including the Karts. Karts have a lot of un-repaired damage, track has extreme damage with poor attempts at repair. Raced two different times and on both runs the lap tracking was so poor, that on multiple occasions it grouped 2 or more laps as 1 time, and on one occasion it grouped 6 laps as 1????? (I like to do my times, and is one of the reasons I liked this location (I normally in up at least in the top 10 for the day when I race)) In addition to that, at least 4 or more times (in 12 laps) they slowed down the Karts. Our last run about every other lap we were slowed. Bad drivers? Maybe, but the Karts were not in good shape. Wheels were not smooth (flat spots) and rounded. I did notice that the Karts would slide a lot more easy than normal.
I would have given it a lower rating, but despite above, Karts are always fun to race, so we did enjoy, and with a very good Groupon deal (including food, and other things) we still enjoyed, but we were all Kart racers, many on the track (both that were with us and others) were not happy about the amount of hitting that was going on (talking to management), not so much from drivers just hitting each other, but someone spinning out and getting hit. For me, it looks like they are only concerned with tourists and not so much for locals returning anymore. Too many other options for Karts to put up with poorly manintained Karts and track

Denilson DB
Tatui, SP137 contributions
Sim, tem diversas atrações. Para pilotar kart com menos de 16 anos deve ter 55 " de altura (aprox. 1,40 metros).
Tenho cupon. É preciso agendar?

Não precisa reservar antecipadamente. Basta apresentar no balcão que as atendentes irão te explicar como funciona. Geralmente tem atendente que fala português.
How fast do they go? Is this the same as traditional go-karts?
neematron
Orlando, FL242 contributions
These Go-karts are not your traditional Karts. They are electric & go extremely fast. I believe they can reach speeds well into the 30-40 mph range. I would say these karts are for true speed enthusiasts, as they feel like they’re flying while you’re driving around the track. Now you can obviously drive the Karts conservatively around the track & probably never reach “max speed” but many other racers will have the pedal to the metal.
Meu filho tem 7 anos ele pode andar no kart?

Bom dia Ermis,
Para correr de kart, tem que ter no minimo 1.40 metros de altura (mais ou menos 10 anos de idade). Os nossos karts nao tem direcao hidraulica, entao tem quer ter forca suficiente para virar o volante. E nao temos assento duplo. Mas temos os jogos que ele pode jogar e o boliche tambem.

Is there a weight or size limit?
IDriveNASCAR
Orlando, FL
Hello thank you for your question. I-Drive NASCAR karts have no weight and size limit, just a minimum height of 55 inches or taller and that all drivers are able to comfortably and safely operate the karts. :)
Are there any age restrictions?
Kat W
Orlando, FL877 contributions
no but there is a height requirement for the race cars.. 55inches...
there is a small bowling alley and video games as well :)

Mozart, a idade não é problema e sim a estatura. A maior parte desse tipo de atração exige altura mínima, não me recordo exatamente mas deve ser algo próximo de 1,40m.

Hi, how does it work if there are just two of us? Do you get put together with others, or if it is quiet could we potentially get the track to ourselves?
Thanks in advance!
