Hangar 42

Just outside Florence, in Calenzano in the province of Florence in Tuscany, the Hangar 42 runs an indoor track in the first ring of the Tuscan capital. The site is in Calenzano's business zone, easily reached from the A1 (Florence-Bologna) and A11 (Florence-Sea) motorways. It is used by Florentines for after-work sessions, by university students (the University of Florence) and by families looking for an all-weather format on rainy days or scorching summer ones.

Under cover, the layout lets drivers lap year-round, sheltered from the weather. Several engine sizes are available, from beginner karts for kids to punchier versions for regulars used to timed sessions. The covered format works well for family taster sessions, kids' birthday parties, stag and hen groups and corporate events for Florentine companies.

Calenzano is fifteen minutes from central Florence, thirty minutes from Prato and thirty minutes from Pistoia. The Tuscan capital offers plenty more to see: the historic centre of Florence UNESCO (the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with Brunelleschi's Dome, the Baptistery of San Giovanni, Giotto's Bell Tower, the Uffizi, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, the Accademia Gallery with Michelangelo's David), Piazzale Michelangelo, the Boboli Gardens, or a side trip to Pisa and the famous Tower, Lucca and its walls, Siena UNESCO, San Gimignano UNESCO or the Cinque Terre UNESCO. Indoor karting at Hangar 42 is a benchmark urban option for Florentines looking for a practical year-round format.
