Karting Sibiu RoadRunner Racing

In the western part of Sibiu, the Karting Sibiu run by RoadRunner Racing lays out an outdoor track of about three hundred and fifty metres, managed by a Romanian team well known in racing circles. The fleet lines up eight adult karts with ten-horsepower Comer K80 engines, two junior karts with six-horsepower K60 engines and four children's karts with two-and-a-half-horsepower Comer C50 engines, all petrol-driven, enough to put every age on the right machine.

A real-time timing system tracks the laps, and protective gear is provided. The venue also offers a driving school, with supervised sessions to improve at the wheel, and rental formats for leisure outings. RoadRunner Racing, a distributor of racing equipment, also organises the Rotax Max championship on Romanian circuits, which anchors the track in genuine motorsport.

Sibiu, the former Hermannstadt, was European Capital of Culture in two thousand and seven and keeps a beautifully preserved Saxon old town. The ASTRA open-air museum, one of the largest in Europe, and the foothills of the Southern Carpathians round out the picture. The Karting Sibiu run by RoadRunner Racing adds a dose of accessible competition a short way from the centre.

The driving school offers cycles of several supervised sessions to learn the basics and gain consistency, an ideal gateway towards competition. The track, set in the western part of the city, is easy to reach and stays open much of the week. Between the ASTRA museum, the Council Square and the Saxon villages around, Sibiu offers plenty to extend the outing well beyond the laps.
