    Find a Karting Club or Track Near You

    Looking for a karting club, a place to practise with your own kart or a track where you can try karting for the first time? Karting is organised differently from country to country, but the easiest way to get started is usually the same: find your national motorsport federation, contact a local club and visit a practice day before buying any equipment.

    This guide explains where to look, which type of karting to choose and what to ask a club or track before your first visit.

    The quickest way to get started

    1. Try rental karting first. An indoor or outdoor rental track lets you drive without owning a kart or specialist equipment.
    2. Visit a local racing club. Watch a practice session or race meeting and talk to drivers, parents and club officials.
    3. Choose a class before buying a kart. Age limits, engines, tyres and popular classes vary between countries and clubs.
    4. Check the licence requirements. Competitive karting normally requires club membership and a licence issued by the national motorsport federation.

    Which type of karting are you looking for?

    Rental karting

    The simplest way to try karting. The track supplies the kart and usually provides a helmet and basic safety equipment. Rental karting is available at both indoor and outdoor tracks and is suitable for beginners, groups and recreational racing.

    Arrive-and-drive racing

    A step between ordinary rental karting and owning a race kart. The organiser supplies and prepares the karts, while drivers take part in organised races or championships. Availability varies considerably between countries.

    Owner-driver karting

    This is traditional club and competition karting. You own or lease a kart, transport it to the circuit and take care of setup and maintenance yourself or with a team. Start by asking a local club which classes are active in your area.

    Indoor or outdoor karting

    Indoor karting is accessible throughout most of the year and is often focused on rental karts. Outdoor circuits are generally larger and are where most owner-driver practice and national kart racing take place.

    How to find an official karting club

    In most countries, licensed motorsport is governed by a national sporting authority, often called an ASN. These organisations approve clubs and events, issue competition licences and publish national regulations.

    If your country is not listed below, use the FIA member directory to find the official motorsport authority in your country. For international regulations and championship information, visit FIA Karting.

    Questions to ask a karting club

    • Do you welcome complete beginners?
    • Do you organise junior training or beginner sessions?
    • Can I try a race kart before buying equipment?
    • Is a kart or safety equipment available to hire?
    • Which classes are active at your circuit?
    • What age limits apply to junior drivers?
    • Which club membership and competition licence do I need?
    • When are the regular practice days?
    • What are the track fees and noise restrictions?
    • Can the club help me find suitable used equipment?

    Before you buy your first kart

    Do not choose a kart or engine only because it is popular online. A class that is common in one country may have very few competitors in another. Ask the nearest active club which classes have regular practice sessions, local races and technical support. Buying equipment for an active local class will make it much easier to find advice, spare parts and other drivers to race with.

    If possible, attend a club practice day and speak to several people before making a purchase. Karting clubs are often the best source of local knowledge about classes, licences, training and suitable equipment for beginners.

    Federations, clubs, classes and licence requirements can change. Always confirm the latest information with the relevant national authority, club or circuit before travelling or purchasing equipment.
