We all know that racing has always been associated with Rome. In ancient Rome, chariot racing was one of the most popular sports.

For those in Rome, we propose go-karting, which is an equally thrilling form of racing. This exhilarating sporting activity will allow you to enjoy fun moments with your family and/or friends. It is a perfect sport to participate in over the weekend or during your vacation, for a birthday celebration or a stag/hen party.

The pleasant temperature of the city allows for this pastime to be enjoyed almost all year. However, if the weather is terrible, you have no reason to worry because Rome also boasts indoor go-kart tracks. The thrill of driving these racing cars, which can reach 150 km/h in some circumstances, is a terrific experience that you must witness at least once in your life. Whether you choose to race in the morning or the evening, speed and experience real thrill in the Italian city.

Before we begin, we must inform you that some companies in Rome and its area require registration with their company and a minimal surcharge for kart rental will be necessary.

What is the duration of a go-karting activity in Rome?

As you can see on our website, there are lots of choices. There are timed options; for example, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or even 30 minutes. During the duration of your choice, you can ride the karting circuit as many times as you want and compete in great races with your friends. Alternatively, there are lap options, by which we mean that you can organize a Grand Prix-like scenario, complete with qualifying, free laps and races.

What age is the best for karting?

Some racing companies accept and allow younger children to drive karts, and your children will be able to enjoy these thrilling challenges starting at the age of eight. In such cases, lower-powered karts will be used. For the more adventurous, some companies provide two-seater go-karts, allowing you to share the activity in every way with your children.

Where are the Top go-kart tracks in Rome?

• Central Rome: The capital has several go-kart tracks, the most notable of which are the Via dei Monti Tiburtini, Torricola, Villa Borghese Park, and Ponte Galeria, which has a 900-meter asphalted and illuminated course. Indoor activities (Torre Maura) on indoor slopes are also available in Rome.

The province of Rome also offers plenty of options:

• Artena has one of the province's longest slopes; as a result, with a track length of 850 meters and a variable width of 7.5 to 10 meters, this track offers a wide range of possibilities and services.

• In Mentana, the Kartodromo in Civitavecchia, Campagna Romana, Tivoli Terme, and the Anzio Circuit (which is also available in the nighttime) are all amazing kart courses.

• If you want to experience the thrill in winter, the indoor tracks are ideal. We suggest the two-story indoor circuit in Pomezia, which also gives the option of driving electric go-karts, ensuring that your activity is environmentally friendly.

Would you like to try your hand at karting, perhaps as a first step toward becoming a professional driver? If this is the case, we suggest a karting school in Cesano located only 40 kilometres from the city.

If you're worried about the cost of one of these go-karting activities in Rome, don't be. The fees are reasonable, and you can rest assured that you will have a good time. So, what are you waiting for? All you have to do now is make a reservation and experience spectacular laps on the track in these racing automobiles.
