National Kart Centre Cork
About
In Cork, in the Marina Commercial Park, the National Kart Centre Cork has set its covered track in the city's former Ford engine factory. The layout stands out for its suspended sections, which give the feeling of floating above the karts passing underneath, all bathed in light by floor-to-ceiling windows. Designed by a team experienced in circuit design, it ranks among the most demanding indoor tracks in the country.
The site offers several formats: grand prix, endurance racing and SIM racing, as well as group bookings, parties and team-building activities. Gift vouchers are available, and booking is advised. Open from Tuesday to Sunday, afternoon and evening, it welcomes families as well as groups and regular drivers out after the clock under cover, whatever the weather, at the heart of the city. The setting, a former car factory turned over to karting, and the suspended sections of the layout give this circuit a strong identity, far from standard halls: you drive at the heart of the city, in an industrial decor bathed in light, under cover all year round.
Cork, the second city of the Republic of Ireland, stretches along the channels of the river Lee, around its covered English Market and its lively lanes. The harbour at Cobh, Blarney Castle and the Munster coast stretch close by. At the heart of the city of Cork, the National Kart Centre adds a dose of covered driving, open all year round.
