Mou gokart

In Storvorde, near Aalborg in the north of Jutland, Mou Gokart lays out an open-air karting track of six hundred and forty metres, on petrol karts with Honda engines able to reach eighty kilometres per hour. Access is open from seven years, and the venue presents itself as the oldest and most popular karting track in North Jutland, running since 1964.

More than sixty years of experience give the place a real racing culture: it offers timed open driving, Le Mans-style endurance formats, Formula 1-style races and Grands Prix. A café on site provides refreshments, and spectator areas make the wait pleasant between heats. The centre also looks after corporate events, from team-building to seminars.

Storvorde lies east of Aalborg, Denmark's fourth city on the Limfjord, in a North Jutland region of forests, fjord and nature reserves such as the nearby Lille Vildmose. The green, quiet area lends itself well to open-air outings. Mou Gokart holds the place of a veteran of regional karting, a safe bet for families and groups of the north of the country. Booking is done online, and the track's longevity, open since the mid-1960s, makes it an institution of karting in northern Jutland. You meet regulars out to beat their time as much as passing holidaymakers and corporate groups from the Aalborg area.
