Detailed guide
Outdoor karting at Area 27
Kartplex Racing operates at Area 27 Motorsports Park near Oliver. Public rental sessions use a purpose-built outdoor circuit and are sold through a reservation-led model rather than walk-in availability.
Rental kart choices
- R25: the standard adult-style rental is advertised at more than 80km/h.
- R13 Mini: a smaller kart serves drivers aged eight to 13.
- BiPosto: a two-seat kart lets an eligible adult drive with a passenger.
- Kid kart ages: the fleet page says the Sparky kart serves ages three to eight, while the live checkout currently lists a six-minute electric kid-kart product for ages four to seven; confirm the correct product before booking.
Access and safety
- Under 13: every younger driver must complete the Rookie Racer course before public racing.
- Under 19: a parent or legal guardian must complete the waiver.
- Equipment: a helmet and balaclava are included; closed shoes are required.
- Fit: the rules publish a 260lb or 116kg maximum, and safe seat fit still decides access.
Booking and progression
- Reserve ahead: reservations are always required and the venue may close when no sessions are booked.
- Standard session: the current public product is approximately ten minutes.
- Pit Pass: all drivers need the annual pass or an eligible membership.
- RMax: the 125cc two-stroke requires an R25 supervised session, a licence test and a separate practice-hour reservation.
