The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit Visitor Centre and Go Karts is a destination for the whole family with hours of entertainment on offer - and these school holidays are the perfect time to visit.

If you haven’t tried the exhilarating single and tandem Go Karts then you need to strap yourself into the Sodi Karts for a session on the 750-metre track – a replica of the world-renowned Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.

With 9 horsepower Honda GX 270cc engines, the French-made karts provides an ultimate karting sensation and are tested to meet the stringent Australian standards.

The RT8 Evo2 single karts can reach up to 65km/per hour and feature a high front blade for greater safety and a roll bar with all-round protection to avoid wheel-to-wheel contact. While the harness seatbelt and easy to use seat adjusters allow for greater comfort and custom fitting.

The 2-drive tandem karts allow the whole family to get involved as the twin seats provide children the thrill of go karting.

The dual steering allows children to get involved while under the safety and supervision of an adult driver.

Bookings are recommended.
