Check this out guys....
A new karting venue at Downsview... might be a fun meet.
It's an indoor track with new technology electric karts... so no fumes to eat.

Vid, pics & info here... Grand Prix Kartways

 

Looks like fun!!!!

that is fun. We have a new electric track here. They had another location that had switched from gas to electric. I've driven both but electric are quiet, no fumes and have more torque and power. They can sometimes be finnickly with the odd bad charge but you know as soon as you get going and can then switch up.

On New years Eve day I organized an event with friends that we were spending that day/eve with. It was a lot of fun.

That's a very tight looking track. I think the one we have here is 40K square feet and appears a fair bit wider so you can do some passing a bit easier.

 

+1 depending on time and day I'm in.

 

You are the man Ian.. I have been trying hard to find a good go kart place last time summer; what is more sacrastic is that I have been working 5 mins away from that Go-Kart place in Downsview for the whole summer............

 

That's great...
maybe you can drop in & check it out?????

 

That looks like such a blast. I wish we had something like that here.

 

Wow, that would be a riot.

Yeh Shane, tell me about it

 

That's what I'm skeptical of.

I've had bad experiences with electric karts (granted that was a while ago). I've had bad experiences with my electric R/C cars. I've had bad experiences with my electric R/C planes too.

Not a fan of batteries here. Unless they're Lithium Polymer powered.

Other than that, looks interesting! I hope it's less shady around this place than at Formula Kartways. LOL.

EDIT: 20 hp electric motors eh? Hmmmmmm....

 

The area is fine. Its near the old Downsview air base.

 

It happens probably one in twenty cars. If there's a problem you make one lap and then come in and jump into another car. Often you'll know as you start off . You lose maybe a minute of your 8 minute session. No biggie. The electric cars are soooo much better than the gas ones.

 

Next time you're up we should go. It's very safe and a lot of fun.
