Weekend Getaway: Go Karting at Kochi
The weekend is here again, and are you confused over your plan for the weekend? TalkandSpeak is also back with its handpicked weekend destination. Let us keep away the restaurants and shopping malls. There are no much awaited releases at the cinemas either. So we are going for a different experience this time. We suggest you to 'Go Kart' this weekend. Kochi has one of the newest 'Go Karting' track opened at the Info Park, Kaloor. Before you ask, we answer you the basic questions.
What is 'Karting'?
Kart racing or karting is a variant of open-wheel motor-sport with small, open, four-wheeled vehicles called karts, go-karts, or gearbox/shifter karts depending on the design. They are usually raced on scaled-down circuits. Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone to the higher ranks of motor-sports. Art Ingels is generally accepted to be the father of karting. A veteran hot rodder and a race car builder at Kurtis Kraft, he built the first kart in Southern California in 1956. Karting has rapidly spread to other countries, and currently has a large following in Europe.
This is one of the best picks for the boys as well as the girls who are keen to test their driving skills. Keep aside those illegal street racing and try your hands on this professionally built racing track. Speedway Kochi offers a 350m long track, which is comparatively small in size but has quite a lot of challenging twists and turns which would test your driving skills. We hope that they expand their tracks further for a longer driving experience. This is considered to be first of its kind in Kerala and has a huge response from the drive lovers of our town.
Plan your visit!
Bookings can be done by calling Speedway Kochi’s contact number – 9645962434.
The charges would be around Rs. 300-400 for an average ride.
We suggest you to make a call before you start to avoid unexpected problems due to over booking or huge response as it is a recently opened venue.
You can reach Speedway by passing through Kaloor onto the Infopark.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead. :)
