About K1 Circuit Winchester

K1 Circuit Winchester is the realized dream of the team behind K1 Speed. By building this track, the company expanded into the professional realm of outdoor go-kart racing, while providing a path for experienced indoor racers who want to graduate to outdoor karting and take their skills to the next level.

K1 Circuit Winchester is not only the first track to push professional outdoor electric go-kart racing. It is a true world-class venue that hosts some of the biggest outdoor karting events.

About The Track

The 1.1-mile configurable outdoor go-kart track is designed by pro racer Rocky Moran, Jr. (of the famed Moran Raceway formerly in Beaumont, CA). The racetrack features a straight that’s approximately 900 feet in length, a universal width of 28 feet, and up to 6% of elevation change.

Of special note, are K1 Circuit Winchester’s two signature turns: the 14-degree banked Rocky Moran Corner, and the sweeping downhill esses section. Both provide a unique, thrilling driving experience not commonly found at outdoor go-kart tracks.

K1 Circuit Winchester incorporates every element a driver could ever want: blind crests, dramatic downhill elevations, sweeping-flowing corners built into the side of a double-mountain peak and a blend of slow, medium, and incredibly high-speed corners that will produce many overtaking opportunities. The end result is a track with the look and feel of a small Formula One circuit rather than your typical flat, featureless outdoor kart racing track.

Additionally, lighting around the circuit allows for stunning kart races at night.

K1 Circuit Winchester welcomes many classes of go-karts with the aim of hosting major professional kart racing events such as SKUSA, USPKS, ROK, Rotax, and more.

About The Facility

In addition to the karting track, K1 Circuit Winchester includes a 12,000-sq.ft. main building that houses a pro shop that sells the latest gear from K1 RaceGear and Freem, a private space for events, and a full-service Paddock Lounge restaurant with a patio overlooking the circuit. In addition, kart owners have the opportunity to rent one of a limited number of premium private garages located onsite.

About The High-Performance Outdoor Electric Go-Karts

Just as K1 Speed pioneered electric indoor go karts in the States, K1 Circuit Winchester is the pioneer of the professional electric outdoor go kart racing experience in the country. Nowhere else in the United States can you find high-performance electric karts that can reach speeds in excess of 80 mph on a large purpose-built outdoor track.

The new outdoor electric go-karts will differ significantly in performance from those found at K1 Speed’s indoor facilities. Developed by Italian manufacturer OTL, the OTL E-Pro Karts are twice as fast as K1’s indoor karts. Plus, they are lighter and use specialized lithium batteries for higher performance. These fast electric outdoor electric go-karts will be available both as rentals and for ownership to compete in the first professional outdoor electric kart racing championship in the United States.
