Race on one of Melbourne’s best go karting tracks
Ever seen V8s or Formula 1 tear up an indoor track? Of course not. Because real racing belongs outdoors — and that’s exactly what we deliver. Welcome to Melbourne’s ultimate go kart racing track: 700 metres of adrenaline-pumping action on the city’s most challenging outdoor track. With hair-raising turns, a blazing 105-metre straight, and the freedom to enjoy day or night racing in any weather, this is where true racers come to test their limits. The race is always on. Are you ready?

Think you’ve mastered the go karts track? Think again.
Think you’ve nailed every turn, apex, and straight? It’s time to up the ante. Just when you think you’ve conquered our circuit, we throw down the ultimate challenge: reverse mode. Everything flips — start becomes finish, turns are taken from new angles, and even the most experienced racers find themselves re-learning the track.
Reversing the circuit levels the playing field, giving even first-time drivers a chance to outshine the regulars. It’s the ultimate test of adaptability and skill, keeping the racing fresh and exciting no matter how many times you’ve been on the track. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-timer, there’s always something new to master.
Designed for speed, built for safety
At Ace Karts, safety is at the core of everything we do. Our track is designed with professional standards in mind, featuring grass run-offs for added authenticity and energy-absorbing barriers to minimise impact. Plus, with eight lanes instead of the standard four, there’s always room for safe overtaking. You can push the limits without worry, knowing we’ve taken every precaution to keep you secure.
Every kart and track undergoes rigorous inspections before and after every session. Whether you’re tearing through at 75km/h in a Super Kart, cruising safely in our beginner-friendly Rookie Karts, or tandem-riding in our two-seater double karts, our team ensures everything is in perfect condition before you hit the track. Because at Ace Karts, the only thing more important than the thrill of racing is your safety.
A few of our track’s safety highlights:
- Proper grass run-offs for authenticity and safety
- Energy impact absorption systems
- Eight lanes wide for safer overtakes
- Regular track inspections for total peace of mind

Outdoors. Under glowing floodlights. In the rain. Our go-kart track captures the excitement of real life racing. And it means you'll race exactly as the racing gods intended – in all conditions.
Night or day, rain or shine, we guarantee the most authentic motorsport experience outside the professional world.
Our open-air track offers thrills at every turn. All seven of them. A series of intensifying bends to test the limits of your cornering skills. Eight lanes for ample overtaking. And a 105m straight that pushes our Super Karts to their 75km/h capacity.
Thanks to our track sensor system, you'll get real driving stats. Not the made-up ones you get at indoor karting. We'll accurately measure your race stats to show you your best lap time – and the top speed you hit.
-
Where can you go when you're already in top gear?
Reverse.Ask our regulars. Just when they think they've aced our circuit, we play our wild card. We reverse the track.
The finish line becomes the starting grid. And everything goes backwards from there. It levels the playing field – even a newbie could pip an Ace Karts regular to the podium.
So no matter how often you experience our track, you can always expect a fresh challenge.
