Go Karting in County Dublin

Experience full-throttle fun in County Dublin.

In County Dublin, all roads lead to Kylemore. As the capital's premier motorsport venue, it sets the standard for indoor racing in Ireland. While the city itself lacks the open-air circuits found in the countryside, Dubliners are perfectly positioned: you have a world-class indoor facility on your doorstep and the country's best outdoor tracks just a short drive up the M1 or M3.

The undisputed king of Dublin karting is Kylemore Karting (Ballyfermot/D10). Established as Ireland's first indoor track in 1992, it has evolved into a massive motorsport complex featuring three separate multi-level circuits. Unlike many modern city tracks that have switched to electric, Kylemore has stayed true to its roots, running a massive fleet of 200cc Sodi Petrol Karts. The tracks are famous for their "rollercoaster" flyovers, banked corners, and illuminated tunnels, offering a technical challenge that changes with every lap. It is the go-to destination for corporate events, stag parties, and serious racers in the capital. For Outdoor Racing (The "Commuter Belt"): Since the closure of the Kart City raceway in Santry, there are no permanent outdoor rental tracks currently operating within County Dublin borders. However, Dublin residents typically travel to:
  • North (Louth): Whiteriver Park is about 45-60 minutes north on the M1. This is a championship-level outdoor track used for national competitions.
  • West (Meath): Athboy Karting Centre is roughly an hour away and offers a fast, rugged 950m outdoor circuit.

Common questions about finding a race in County Dublin.

Most current reports indicate that Kart City (the outdoor track near Dublin Airport) is closed or no longer operating as a regular public rental track. For outdoor racing, Dubliners now travel to Whiteriver Park (Louth) or Athboy (Meath).

Kylemore Karting operates a fleet of petrol karts (Sodi SR5s with Honda engines). They have not switched to electric, maintaining the traditional sound and feel of motorsport.

There are three distinct tracks at Kylemore Karting. They are all roughly 360m long and feature multi-level sections (flyovers and underpasses). Depending on your booking, you may race on one specific track or rotate across them for a Grand Prix event.

The closest fully outdoor rental circuit is likely The Zone's outdoor section (though primarily indoor) in Navan or WhiteRiver Park in Collon (Louth), which is approximately a 45-minute drive from North Dublin via the M1.

Yes. Kylemore Karting offers Junior Karts for children. The minimum height requirement is generally 137cm (4ft 6in), and they run separate sessions from the adult karts for safety.
