Rules for karting

You can go karting with us from 8 years old and a height of 1.35m. Our karts and kart tracks meet the latest safety standards, so that karting is always a safe experience.

The most important karting rules

While karting is supposed to be fun, there are a few rules that you need to follow to ensure that the fun is safe and that the risk is as low as possible. As in road traffic, karting is prohibited from driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Also, if you take medication that impairs your ability to drive, you are not allowed to participate.

Grounds for exclusion
In addition to alcohol, drugs and certain medications, there are other reasons why you are not allowed to go karting. These include:

• Chronic back pain

• Cardiovascular disease

• Pregnancy

Although go-karting is generally a safe recreational activity, it is physically demanding and can result in jerky movements or bumps. Please take care not to wear clothing or jewelry that is too loose, which could become tangled in go-karting. Shoes with high heels, flip-flops, scarves or chains are also not allowed. So come to go-karting with solid footwear and no loose clothing.

The driving rules on the kart track
Before you get in one of our karts, we will provide you with protective equipment, which includes a helmet (with road approval). If necessary, we will also provide you with a neck pad. If you borrow a helmet, you will need to wear a balaclava for hygiene reasons - you will get this from us if you don't have your own. You are also welcome to bring your own motorcycle helmet.

In the kart, the accelerator pedal is on the right, the brake pedal is on the left. If you need help, just raise an arm but don't get out of the kart. A member of staff will be at your side immediately.

Fairness is paramount on the karting circuit. Karting is not a contact sport and deliberate ramming is not permitted. We reserve the right to sanction unsportsmanlike or dangerous behaviour and exclude you from the race.

Important rules and behaviors while driving

• Familiarise yourself with the kart and the track on the first lap.

• Notice where the pit entrances, the race director and the track posts are.

• Intentional blocking or zig-zagging is prohibited.

• Ramming an opponent is not allowed.

• Always watch out for slower drivers or inexperienced go-karters.

• In case of nausea, return immediately to the pit lane.

• Green light: The race begins!

• In the pit lane: Always drive at walking speed.

The Importance of Kart Flags
On our indoor and outdoor kart tracks, there are four flags you should know:

• Blue flag: Let faster drivers overtake.

• Yellow flag: Danger zone. Slow down, don't overtake and don't overtake.

• Black-and-white checkered flag: Target flag. Finish the current lap and then head to the pit lane.

• Black flag: Warning. Drive slowly into the pit lane and be ready for a consultation with the race director.

With these rules and flags in mind, you're well prepared for the next kart race! Have fun on the track!
