New karts provide family thrills

The tandem karts offer a thrilling experience for families.

A new fleet of single and tandem go karts have hit the track at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.

The 27 new single karts replace the fleet introduced in 2017, and the 10 new tandem karts will take over from the existing karts launched in 2014.

With 9 horsepower Honda GX 270cc engines, the French-made karts provide the ultimate karting sensation and meet the stringent Australian standards.

The RT8 Evo2 single karts can reach up to 65kmh and feature a high front blade for greater safety and a roll bar with all-round protection to avoid wheel-to-wheel contact.

The harness seatbelt and easy to use seat adjusters allow for greater comfort and custom fitting.

With the same safety and protection measures as the single karts, the 2Drive tandem karts allow the whole family to get involved.

Dual steering allows children to get behind the wheel while under the safety and supervision of an adult driver.

Phillip Island Go Karts is the ultimate karting destination – the smooth curves and super-fast straight of the unique track are along some of the most breathtaking coastline on the Island.

Children from the age of 12 (and at least 140cm tall) can drive the single karts, while kids from the age of 5 (and at least 100cm tall) can be a passenger in the tandem karts with an adult driver over 18 years (and 140cm tall) .

Phillip Island Go Karts are open 7 days a week; Monday – Friday 12pm – 4pm, and Saturday and Sunday 9am – 5pm.

All visitors must pre-book their session by calling 03 5952 9400.
