Scotkart Indoor Karting

Scotkart Indoor Kart Racing offers the two largest indoor karting circuits in Glasgow, Scotland, U.K. These have over 440 metres of high-speed straights, sweeping turns and space for up to 4 karts racing side by side, plus a bridge and tunnel.

Scotkart cater for both experienced and inexperienced racers and provide full race suits, helmets and gloves. They can cater for business trips, school trips, individual racing, team racing, birthday partys and many other special occasions.
