Second time going this,...
Second time going this, fun, fast and a good time, do the 20min session if you can. This is a 10 min warm up and lap timer, the second session is a race based on lap times from the first session.

Cracking Karting
That was (hands down) the best Karting experience I have had in NZ. The Karts were grippy and grunty. The brakes actually worked! However, it's all about that track... the flat out downhill, double left hander is as sweet as you'll find anywhere. Then you discover that the final right-hander can be taken flat as well and you just can't stop grinning. Loved it. Don't be put off by the cost. In fact I suggest you need 30mins to really appreciate it all.
Operator response
Thanks for your awesome review. We are very proud of what we offer here and its so rewarding when we read your words.
I still haven't taken the last corner at full speed yet so need some tips please - haha.
Cheers. Ian
