Københavns Gokart Bane

In Copenhagen, the Københavns Gokart Bane is a real open-air racing circuit, run in a club and youth-house setting rather than as a hire centre. There are no karts to rent here: to drive, you need a licence from the Danish federation, a membership or a session fee, and your own kart that meets the rules. Drivers run in classes, on organised training slots.

The track, on combustion engines, is aimed at a public committed to the sporting side of karting, from seven years. The club-based set-up, with card payment and structured slots, makes it a place of training and competition for the region's young drivers, rather than a casual outing. It is an institution of amateur karting in the capital.

Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is a human-scale metropolis, known for its canals, its cycle paths and its way of life. In the middle of this city geared towards bikes and design, the Københavns Gokart Bane keeps a genuine racing culture alive for enthusiasts. It is a landmark for young Danish drivers who want to learn the discipline in a supervised, sporting setting. It is one of the few open-air karting circuits in the Copenhagen area, and it plays a training role for young Danish drivers aiming at competition. The setting, run by volunteers, keeps a genuine racing culture alive in the Danish capital.
