Best Go Karting Tracks In Sydney To Outpace Your Mates

Australia is no stranger to high-speed thrills, and you can enjoy pushing the pedal to the metal at Sydney’s best go karting tracks. Sydney is home to a surprising number of go karting tracks for proving your driving skills, and while none of them are found in the CBD or surrounding areas (there’s no space, for a start) just a short drive out west or south will bring you to an open playing field of tarmac just begging to be torn up.

While you’re probably past your prime and are unlikely to challenge the best drivers in the world – many of whom started their careers in go karting – you can certainly put your driving skills to the test in a completely new style of vehicle. Solution? Let’s do the best go karting Sydney has to offer you wildlings.

So whether it’s for a bucks party, a day out with the boys or even a fun and original date idea, here are the best go karting tracks in Sydney.

Hyper Karting

The Entertainment Quarter, Level 5 Car Park, 207 Park Road S, Moore Park, 2021

The newest track for go karting in Sydney comes from Hyper Karting. Hyper by name and hyper most certainly by nature, Hyper Karting has an array of electric-powered go karts for you to race. Why is this is a big deal? Put simply, they’re going to be faster than most petrol-powered go karts. The go karting track itself used to be a car park, and as a result, Hyper Karting is home to the longest indoor go karting track in Australia at 410-metres.

Adult and junior groups can be be catered for, along with corporate functions, and considering its close proximity to Sydney CBD, it could just be the best go karting track in Sydney.

Every wannabe racer is given full training and instruction (go-karts are completely different beasts to cars) and with 10 full minutes of racing action per paid session, you should have ample time to complete a few hot laps. If you have your own go-kart and want somewhere to test it out or just have some fun, you can hire out the Spitfire track too.

Sydney Go-Karting - Luddenham Raceway

Luddenham Raceway is a relatively new entertainment complex in Western Sydney, having only been opened in 2018. Not only does it feature a go-karting track, but you can also put your own car through its paces on a dedicated racing track and partake in a spot of paintball. It’s the go karting track we’re focusing on, however, and there are actually two: a short 200m track for beginners and a longer 600m track with 12 corners and elevation changes for older racers.

Luddenham’s go karting track works predominantly on an arrive and drive basis and so doesn’t take bookings. If you do want to book, you’ll need to rally up a group of at least 10 and get yourselves involved in a Grand Prix-style tournament. The Pro Circuit (the longer one) is also kitted out with night-time LED lights, so you can be assured of racing action after dark.
