When is K1 Circuit Opening?
We’re hoping to open K1 Circuit to the public soon, pending city/county approvals.
How Much Does K1 Circuit Cost?
We’re still finishing up the final pricing, but our tentative pricing is currently up on this website. For Arrive & Drive rental pricing, please visit our Kart Rental page, and for “bring your own kart” pricing, please visit our Kart Owners page.
Can I Rent Out the Entire K1 Circuit Track?
Yes! Soon after we open up, we will allow people to rent out our entire track. Pricing for this is to be determined.
What are the Hours of Operation?
When we open, K1 Circuit will be open every day from 9am to 9pm. Open Practice for kart owners will be held from 9am to 5pm, while rentals will operate from 12pm to 9pm. After the completion of open practice, rentals will be available on two course configurations from 5pm to 9pm.
How Old Do You Have to Be To Drive the Rentals at K1 Circuit?
All drivers who want to rent our karts at K1 Circuit must be at least 16 years old with an active Driver’s License. Plus, drivers must be at 58″ tall and safely reach the pedals and steering wheel.
ALL drivers under the age of 18 will need a parent or legal guardian present with a valid ID to sign their waiver, including OPEN PRACTICE drivers – not just for rentals!
How Long Are Sessions at K1 Circuit?
K1 Circuit will operate in 10-minute blocks. So it’s up to the driver as far as how many laps can be completed in that given time. Currently, our rental karts are capable of producing roughly 80-second lap times around the full Pro Track layout, but we do expect this to get shorter as the track “rubbers” in and gets more grip, which means more laps!
