Where are the best karting circuits in Murcia?

• San Javier: in this town on the Mar Menor you will find one of the circuits where your experience will be unforgettable. It is one of the largest of the whole community, since it has a route of more than one kilometer full of curves and amazing changes of gradient. In addition, you will drive karts that reach 68 miles per hour (110 km/h), not to mention how comfortable they are! Certainly, the best one in the market.

In this place, everyone will have the possibility to get into the cars and find the modality that best suits their skills, from basic training to championships.

• Alhama de Murcia: many consider this place to be the best circuit of all, and no wonder! In its 900 meters, you will have the opportunity to drive very fast cars and adapted to the condition of each one. And even the little ones will be able to experience the thrill of karting accompanied by their parents.

But here comes the best part, because, if after finishing your race you feel like having more adventures, you can combine the experience with a fun game of paintball and continue challenging your friends in a paintball battle. In addition, to finish the day, you can go to the restaurant area and recover all your strength back with a good meal.

• Murcia (Capital): if you live in the city and don’t want to move too much to live the experience, let us tell you that in the Nueva Condomina shopping center has been built a course that will make you feel the adrenaline to the fullest. It is true that it is not the biggest one you will find, since it barely reaches 350 meters in length, but believe us it is perfect to get started in this world and end the day being a professional.

• Águilas: here comes the good stuff! We can't finish this list without mentioning this place. To come to this circuit is to live a day of the most frenetic, as going through its 800 meters of track is something super exciting. And imagine how it must be to take curves for more than 600 meters and reach a dizzying speed in its straights. We are absolutely sure that after a lap you won't want to stop. In addition, here you will find all kinds of comforts: top quality karts, time control and a professional team waiting for you at your pit stops to refuel and check that everything is running smoothly.

How long are the karting runs in Murcia?

Normally a single race does not exceed 10 minutes, although this is something that can always be extended. Everything will depend on the place where you go to enjoy this experience, because each circuit has different offers from which you can choose according to your tastes and preferences.

For example, in San Javier you will have the opportunity to start with an 8-minute session, and if you want more, you can always choose the "driver's day" option, in which you will spend about 15 minutes driving the cars. However, if you want to live an authentic Formula 1 experience and stand on the winners' podium, we recommend you to come on the last Sunday of each month when the famous "Grand Prix" is held. This modality is divided into two phases: the qualifying that lasts about 10 minutes; and the final race in which you will do a total of 20 laps.

And if this is not enough for you, in the track at the center of Murcia you can spend a whole morning between curves, because they have a modality in which you can do up to 30 laps without stopping.

What is the minimum age to drive a kart in Murcia?

As we have already said, the best thing about karting is that it is an activity designed so that everyone can enjoy it and experience the same feelings as professional drivers. Therefore, in Murcia you will find places like the karting school in Ceutí, where you can immerse yourself for the first time in this world and start from scratch with the help of the best instructors.

This applies to both children and adults, as there are karts adapted for different ages and even physical conditions. It is true that the age may vary according to the type of course and its difficulty, but it is normal for children to be able to drive their own kart from the age of 6. In case they are not confident or do not reach that age, they can always get into the two-seater cars accompanied by an adult who will be in control of the pedals, while they develop their motor skills by driving the steering wheel from time to time.

And as we don’t want anyone to miss out on this opportunity, the San Javier circuit has special cars for people with reduced mobility that can reach a speed up to 50 miles per hour (80km/h). This is possible because the braking and acceleration system is located on the steering wheel.

Undoubtedly, this experience will make you spend a fun and unforgettable day with your loved ones, so get ready... Because curves are coming!
