Go Karting ACT & Canberra: Power Kart Raceway & Club Racing

Your guide to go-karting in Canberra and across the Australian Capital Territory.

In the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), the go-karting scene may have a small geographical footprint, but it boasts top-tier facilities right in the heart of the nation's capital. Because of Canberra's distinct seasons—featuring hot summers and freezing, frosty winters—climate-controlled indoor karting is the commercial lifeblood for casual racers, tourists, and families. Meanwhile, serious motorsport enthusiasts and owner-drivers head to the dedicated outdoor track on the city's outskirts to hone their racecraft.

The Canberra karting market is neatly divided into two distinct worlds: indoor electric hire and outdoor club racing.

  1. Indoor Electric Hire (Power Kart Raceway) Power Kart Raceway in Griffith is the undisputed hub of commercial go-karting in the ACT. It is a massive, world-class indoor facility featuring an F1-style circuit. Using high-performance electric karts, it provides a clean, fume-free racing environment with instant torque and rapid acceleration. Because it operates indoors, it remains the ultimate year-round "Arrive & Drive" destination regardless of Canberra's unpredictable weather. Over the years, the venue has evolved into a massive entertainment complex, adding Jungle Golf (glow-in-the-dark mini-golf), Virtual Reality rooms, synthetic ice skating, and Laser Tag to its roster.
  2. The Owner-Driver Hub (Canberra Kart Racing Club) For the motorsport purists who own their own karts, the Canberra Kart Racing Club (CKRC) at Fairbairn Park (Majura Valley) is the capital's racing epicenter. This is a 750-metre outdoor bitumen circuit dedicated to serious competitive racing and driver development. It is important for visitors to note that the CKRC is strictly not a hire kart facility. There are no "arrive and drive" tickets available here; the track is reserved for licensed club members, professional testing, and official race meets.
