About

Partial

On the grounds of the legendary Castellet Circuit, the karting facility unfolds 964 metres of outdoor track next to the layout that has hosted Formula 1 and many international series. Set on the Castellet plateau, 400 metres above the Var coast, the site benefits from the historic circuit's aura and from professional infrastructure that stands out among leisure karting venues. It's a venue apart in the French karting landscape.

The 964-metre open-air layout offers a demanding technical course, with fast straights and sequences that call for fine reading : heritage matters, and the environment pushes you to refine your lines. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver level, from entry-level models for younger drivers to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. The site is also regularly used for premium group events : kids' birthday parties, stag and hen parties, corporate seminars, and team-building events that combine karting with a tour of the main circuit.

Le Castellet is 35 minutes from Marseille, 25 from Toulon, and one hour from Aix-en-Provence via the A50 and A8. The region offers plenty to extend a stay: the Cassis calanques, Bandol and its Provençal fishing port, Sanary-sur-Mer with its fishing port, or a detour to the Verdon Gorges an hour away. For motorsport enthusiasts, it's also a chance to follow up with a visit or a track day on the main circuit.
