Real Racing isn't just part of our tagline. At LeMans Karting, it means gas-powered and tuned European karts that deliver power and handle like their larger versions. Real racing means we never throttle your kart's speed. It means we use the same flags to communicate with drivers as you'll see on a real race track. It means each location features a MegaTrack™ that challenges your technical ability- and whether you're brave enough to push harder and brake later. It means the ability to go side by side with other racers to the checkered flag.
We're passionate about delivering the most genuine, fun and safe indoor karting experience in the country. After all, we're racers ourselves.
