Each corner arrives faster then the previous one. Straights become shorter, and the heart beats like never before. This event is jam-packed with thrills and high-power driven motor racing action. The experience is set for small or large groups.
The Karts
The karts are purpose built with the Italian ‘TB RMAX’ chassis and powered by a 125 ROTAX MAX 2T producing 23HP. The chassis is super-lite designed to give the same high performance and experience that a race/competition chassis would, but with the same level of safety as a rental kart. Two stroke engines are usually intended for racing karts, therefore we recommend only experienced drivers rather than those who are new to karting. The motors can rev up to 14,000 rpm and reach speeds of 110km/h plus up the straight. In the right conditions the engine can accelerate from 0-100km in just 2.5 seconds. The karts are incredible to drive and are sure to impress! These engines are rare in the rental kart industry due to their high expense, maintenance and their temperamental nature. Two stroke engines are a whole new level of fun. We are the only track in Australia to provide RMAX karts.
Safety First – Qualify to be able to drive RMAX
Strict rules apply for the safety of our customers. Due to the high speed and acceleration of the RMAX karts, all drivers will be required to complete 2 x 10 minute sessions in our 15HP Karts. Before hitting the track, our staff will provide you with a detailed drivers induction about our karts and our safety protocols. The first session will allow the group to warm up, and get the feel of our track! Our staff will determine if all drivers have the ability to drive the RMAX karts! Each driver will be meticulously observed to maintain a safe environment. You don’t have to be the fastest driver, just respect the karts, have good foot control and obey all the track rules. Our staff will be available to provide driving tips to the group, if required.
Once the 15HP qualifying sessions are completed the group will be ready to move up to the RMAX karts. The Mini GP and GP include a 5 minute warm up and 10 minute qualifying session. The 18 lap heat and 20 lap final in the GPs will be bracket racing. Bracket racing is a race of consistency, performance and the ability of the driver to control the kart. Drivers will choose an average lap time they expect to achieve. The driver closest to their nominated time wins! Please note, during all the RMAX sessions drivers will need to keep a distance from other karts, however overtaking is allowed. These measures are for the safety of our customers.
