Sometimes to break with the monotony you don't have to be very extravagant. The company of a few friends, an afternoon off and a make a great plan to release adrenaline at will is enough for that, without having to make long and expensive trips. A day of karting is a good example of it. These small racing vehicles are perfect for sharing and having fun with our loved ones, trying something different and getting away from the routine in an exciting way. It is a plan that everyone will love and, if you are a motorsports lover, even more so.

You can fill the shoes of a Formula 1 driver without the need for experience or preparation, being able to live a full-blown race with those close to you. When it comes to go-kart racing (as in so many other activities) age doesn’t count. Here, only your cunning and your thirst for victory count. Fortunately, a day's karting in Granada is easy to enjoy, as you'll find several circuits where you can take part in a race and combine it with other services that will be perfect for any time, celebration or event you have in mind. A go-kart race can be the ideal start to a day off. Adding the “little touch” of rivalry with friends and seeing who wins only adds to the excitement.

But also going to a go-karting circuit is a great plan for the little ones. Generally, the minimum age for driving a go-kart is 5 years old. The vehicles are adapted to their age in terms of size and speed and they always receive prior training so that they can have fun with complete confidence and safety. So, if you're looking for something adventurous to share with the whole family or to celebrate your little one's long-awaited birthday, you can be sure that a go-kart race will be fun for everyone.

In the province of Granada you can choose between outdoor and indoor go-karts, and although most often you'll find outdoor circuits, here you'll find indoor go-karts mostly. But believe us, that doesn't take away from the excitement. Indoor go-karts consist of racing karts on indoor circuits. The curves are tighter and the lanes a little narrower, which promises you a fierce and always exciting go-kart race. This experience always starts with a preparatory briefing, where you are given information about the circuit, the times and about the kart itself so that you can handle it with knowledge and skill. After this introductory phase, there are usually 1 or 2 preparatory and qualifying laps to share out positions. Once ready, everyone goes to their marks, and when the countdown reaches 0, you'll only be able to hear the sound of your engine during a race that usually lasts between 8 and 30 minutes, all depending on the duration you choose.

This is a really fun activity and the best thing about it is that it is very accessible: it is easy to arrive at the circuits, it is easy to drive the go-karts, it does not require any knowledge or licence and it is for everyone, both children and adults. Furthermore, we will be in a safe and controlled environment where we can satisfy our desire for speed and adrenaline behind the steering wheel.
