Ankara Karting

In the Yeşilkent area of Çankaya, in southern Ankara, this circuit offers recreational karting open to everyone, with no licence or prior experience needed. The track welcomes lap-chasers, families and groups alike, with a safety briefing before every run. Easy to reach within the capital, it runs on weekdays and at weekends, from late morning right through to midnight.

The venue puts on time trials where each driver hunts for a personal best, along with head-to-head duels between friends that quickly turn the outing into a friendly contest. Beyond the runs, it hires out its tracks for celebrations: birthdays, stag and hen parties, corporate evenings and gatherings of every kind. Booking by phone or online, group packages and extended evening slots: the offer is built around coming back to lower your time session after session, solo or as a team.

Ankara, the capital of Turkey, is laid out around the mausoleum of Atatürk, the imposing Anıtkabir that dominates the city and traces the story of the Republic. The old citadel quarter, the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations with its rich Hittite and Phrygian holdings, and large parks such as Gençlik round out a visit. Çankaya, where the circuit sits, is the administrative and residential heart of the city, close to the embassies and shopping centres. The capital is easy to reach by motorway and by high-speed train from Istanbul or Konya, which makes it a handy stop for a sporting outing on a weekday or at the weekend.
