Daytona Raceways

In Langenzersdorf, just north of Vienna, Daytona Raceways bills itself as the largest karting hall in Austria. The fully indoor track runs Alpha karts with petrol engines, from the adult model to the children's kart, by way of two-seaters to take a passenger. People come for a few heats on the clock, in a modern hall built to drive in all weather.

Easy to reach from the A22 motorway, at the Strebersdorf exit, the track is open much of the week, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Online booking, posted prices and gear provided: the format stays that of an easy-going leisure outing, for a first time as well as among regulars. The size of the hall leaves room to attack and overtake.

Langenzersdorf lies at the foot of the Bisamberg, in Lower Austria, on the northern edge of Vienna, which makes it an easy outing for the people of the capital and its suburbs. The Danube-side region, between hills and villages, lends itself well to short trips. Daytona Raceways adds a dose of indoor motorsport, a stone's throw from the city. With its large covered surface, the hall can host big groups, corporate outings and endurance races, and its position on the edge of Vienna, directly linked to the motorway, makes it one of the easiest tracks to reach for the people of the capital and all of neighbouring Lower Austria, in all weather and all year round.
