A day at the track with Mega Fast Karts

Kids in Perth team members Mike, Nigel and his son joined in the action.

First, we were fitted with helmets and supplied Covid-safe balaclavas to wear underneath.

One of the friendly staff members then talked us through the track layout, advised us on where to brake and general safety tips. He made sure all of our questions were answered and everyone felt comfortable and confident to get onto the track.

Once everyone was prepared and ready, we trooped onto the track and got into our karts. Mike and I each climbed into a Senior Kart while my daughter jumped into a Junior Kart, meanwhile, Nigel and Nate got onto a dual kart. With our helmets and harnesses checked one last time by staff, making sure everyone knew which pedal was which (safety is a top priority!)... we hit the track!

Every session offers ten minutes of track time – That's plenty of time to both get a feel for the track before putting your foot down.

I took comfort in the fact that there are sand bunkers next to tighter corners, so if you do take it too fast or spin out of control, the sand will bring you to a safe stop.

If you can’t drive your kart back onto the track, simply raise your hand and a staff member will promptly help you.

Being my first time karting, once I got comfortable picking up speed, it was super exhilarating - I can see how people can get hooked! My daughter felt the same way, she's really looking forward to coming back and trying the Senior Kart when she's older. Everyone had an awesome time, including Nigel's son who had a big smile on his face at the end of the day.

If you haven’t been go-karting, I say ‘go for it!’
