You asked and we are making it happen! K1 Circuit, California’s premier kart racing circuit in Winchester, CA, is very close to opening to the general public. We will be one of the first groups to experience the beautiful outdoor track, racing ultra high-performance electric race karts!

Some details taken from their official website: 

“Ten years in the making, K1 Circuit will mark an exciting departure from the indoor karting experience presently offered in their locations around the world, and will soon be the best outdoor karting venue in the United States.”

“The track 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.”
