Kart Origins

In the southeastern suburbs of Lyon, in Corbas, Kart Origins sets up its 500-metre outdoor track right next to the ring road and the Lyon wholesale market. The site sits in the Mi-Plaine industrial zone, but keeps an open setting that allows for outdoor karting. It has become a local reference for Lyon residents looking for an accessible track without straying from the metropolitan area, and for corporate events in the Lyon-Corbas business park.

The 500-metre outdoor layout is compact but technical, ideal for short, intense sessions where precision in the lines matters more than raw speed. Several kart classes are available depending on driver level, from beginner models for younger riders to punchier versions for regulars chasing lap times. It's a format that especially suits mixed groups (families, company teams) where levels vary. The site regularly hosts kids' birthdays, stag and hen parties, and corporate events.

Corbas is 15 minutes from central Lyon via the A46 and 25 minutes from Saint-Exupéry airport. The area offers plenty to extend the trip: the UNESCO-listed Vieux Lyon, the Tête d'Or park, the Paul Bocuse halls, the Fourvière basilica, or a detour to Vienne and its Gallo-Roman remains thirty minutes away. A useful pick for Lyon residents wanting a karting session without leaving the metropolis, and for groups on seminars in the Lyon business district.
