Complex Speed Park

In Bacău, in Romanian Moldavia, the Complex Speed Park brings together on Strada Chimiei an outdoor track open to karting, motorbikes and cars under three and a half tonnes. Adults drive petrol karts of nine to thirteen horsepower, while younger children aged four to twelve get models to their size. Two-seater karts let you take a passenger along, handy for showing the track to a beginner.

The circuit suits leisure sessions just as much as training and testing, and renting the track for groups or company events is part of the offer. The karts are well kept and the gear matched to each age, which makes the outing open to families and to keener drivers out to enjoy themselves among friends alike.

Bacău spreads along the Siret valley, between the hills of Moldavia and the foothills of the Eastern Carpathians. The region has raised great names of Romanian sport, and the town keeps a lively buzz. The Complex Speed Park holds a place of its own there for fans of speed, a short way from the centre, and rounds out a stop in this part of the country's east.

Beyond open running, the venue offers driving lessons and courses to improve, supervised on the track. The vehicles are checked and matched to each profile, from the youngest to the seasoned driver, which makes the park a safe and friendly outing. Bacău lies a short way from Onești, birthplace of gymnast Nadia Comăneci, and stays a good base for exploring Romanian Moldavia between Carpathians and hills.
