Pannonia Ring Karting

In Ostffyasszonyfa, in western Hungary, Pannonia Ring Karting lays out one thousand one hundred and sixty metres of open-air track, one of the longest karting layouts in the country. Attached to the famous Pannonia Ring, an international circuit that hosts car and motorcycle races, it offers a genuine sporting course with long straights and sequences of bends worthy of the great circuits. It is a benchmark venue for driving enthusiasts.

Karting stays open to all, with no licence or experience: a briefing, a helmet, and you head off to find your best lap. The unusual length of the layout leaves real chances to overtake and to build up speed, enough to delight beginners and confident drivers alike. Pricing comes by the session, and people happily come back to shave seconds off over their runs. As the activity takes place outdoors, it is best to check opening times by season before coming.

Ostffyasszonyfa is a village in Vas county, in western Hungary, at the heart of a green region. Close by, the spa town of Sárvár and its Renaissance castle, along with the region's hot springs, draw many visitors. Further west, Szombathely, one of the oldest towns in the country, and the Alpokalja hills round out the discovery. The region is reached by road from Győr or the Austrian border, in a peaceful part of western Transdanubia.
