3...2...1...Go! Drive in the tire tracks of F1 stars and get your adrenaline pumping with a world-class karting experience in Genk.

Thrill seekers, this one's for you. Hop in your own kart and experience some high-speed fun. This is a perfect group activity for friends or families and a great idea for parties and corporate outings. Complete begginers or karting pros will find something here that’ll get their heart racing, pun intended.

Genk is famous in the karting scene. Lovers of F1 will be familiar with a certain Max Verstappen, who honed his skills as a young driver on this very track. The 2011 and 2018 Karting World Cups were also hosted here. So, you know you’re getting a proper karting experience as you race around the tarmac.

There are 2 tracks you can drive on: the 550-meter track or the 1360-meter track (the world-famous one). To be able to drive on the long track you’ll have to have had some prior karting experience as you’ll be driving faster and in an ‘expert’ kart. Safety first!

  • Rent options on the shorter track: You can kart individually, hire out the entire circuit for your group, organise your own Grand Prix or you can tag-team it with your buddies in an endurance race.
  • Individual karting sessions are only 15 minutes long, but you can book multiple consecutive sessions. Group sessions last between 15 minutes and 3 hours, depending on the package.
  • Already a pro? Expert karts are hired out for 30 or 60 minutes, that gives you plenty of time to learn the ins and outs of Genk’s world-renowned track.
  • Family competition, loser does the dishes? As long as kids are over 1.25 meters tall they can race with the adults. Even if they’re a bit shorter, they don’t have to miss out on all the action and can hop in a duo kart with a co-driver.

Once your time on the tarmac is up you can visit bistro ‘A La Kart’ for a nice meal and a drink. Spectators can also relax on the bistro's terrace as it has a unique view of the track. They can even set up a winners podium here for you and your group. Champagne anyone?
