ZOGA

In Hénin-Beaumont, in the Pas-de-Calais, Zoga sets up its indoor track at the heart of the UNESCO-listed mining basin. The site sits in the metropolitan commercial business zone, easily accessible from the A1 and A21. It's an address regularly favoured by mining basin residents on weekend outings, Lille residents on escapes, and families looking for an all-weather format.

The indoor course lets you drive year-round, sheltered from northern oceanic weather. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver profile, from entry-level models for kids to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. The indoor format particularly suits family initiation runs, kids' birthday parties, stag and hen parties, and corporate evenings : a covered setting that works as well in winter rain as in high summer and complements the nearby SpeedPark Hénin-Beaumont offering.

Hénin-Beaumont is 30 minutes from Lille, 15 from Lens, and 45 from Arras via the A1. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: the UNESCO-listed Nord-Pas-de-Calais mining basin, the Louvre-Lens (museum), twin slag heaps of Loos-en-Gohelle, Notre-Dame-de-Lorette and its memorial, or a detour to Lille and the Vieux-Lille (30 minutes), Arras and its UNESCO-listed Baroque squares. An urban karting option for mining basin residents looking for a simple all-year accessible format 30 minutes from Lille, complementary to the other Hénin-Beaumont structures.
