IndyKart Raceway

In Rochester, in the west of New York State, the IndyKart Raceway lays out a covered European-style karting circuit, set within the Marketplace Mall. The fully electric karts, quiet and emission-free, exceed forty-five miles per hour, over seventy kilometres per hour, on a technical layout designed for performance. The covered format lets you drive under cover, whatever the Great Lakes weather.

The site offers arrive-and-drive racing, children's birthdays, outings for teenagers and adults, corporate events, racing leagues and endurance events, with live timing and a leaderboard. People come as a family as well as among colleagues, from the first discovery lap to timed racing, in an atmosphere firmly turned towards electric competition. Electric driving, quiet and odourless, changes the experience compared with petrol: you hear the tyres, you meter an instant power, and the indoor setting of a shopping mall makes the outing accessible whatever the season.

Rochester lies on the shore of Lake Ontario, on the Genesee river and its falls, in a city marked by the heritage of photography and industry. The Finger Lakes and their landscapes of valleys and lakes stretch close by. At the heart of New York State, the IndyKart Raceway adds a dose of covered electric driving, open all year round.
