MS Kartcenter Hattingen

MS Kartcenter Hattingen runs a covered hall in Hattingen, in the southern Ruhr, with a fleet of high-performance Sodikarts with 270 cc, 9 hp engines. The venue plays leisure and broad events, with a range of formulas calibrated for beginners as well as racers and private celebrations.

On rates, standard practice costs 14 euros for 10 minutes, the F1 Sprint 50 euros per person from six participants, the children's birthday 37 euros per person from six children and the JGA Race 62 euros per person. The venue offers online booking, a bistro for catering, an event space with seats and podiums, and bespoke buffets for groups. The track opens Sunday to Monday 11am to 10pm, with children's slots until 3pm, and takes all levels, from beginner to seasoned driver, from age 6.

Hattingen lies in the southern Ruhr, 15 km south-east of Essen, 25 km south-west of Bochum and 50 km north-east of Cologne. The town keeps a remarkably preserved medieval old town, with its half-timbered houses, one of the best-kept old centres in the Ruhr basin. The Henrichshütte, a former ironworks turned industrial museum, keeps its blast furnace, and the Hohenstein castle overlooks the Ruhr. Essen and its UNESCO-listed Zollverein mining complex are 15 km to the north, Bochum and its mining museum 25 km away, Düsseldorf 40 km to the west, and Cologne and its cathedral 50 km to the south-west.
