    Indoor Go Kart Racing San Diego – Downtown, East Village

    Looking for a fun thing to do in San Diego other than visiting Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, craft beer breweries, or going to Comic Con? K1 Speed San Diego provides a thrill like no other in town! Located in beautiful downtown San Diego, near the Gaslamp Quarter, East Village, and Petco Park, K1 Speed San Diego provides exciting racing action in an incredibly convenient location. Our K1 Speed San Diego location brings indoor go-kart racing to the heart of America’s Finest City! We invite you to come down today – it’s the same thrilling experience, much closer to home.

     

    One of the best indoor go kart tracks in Southern California!

    Our Racing Options

    We have a number of different ways to experience indoor go-kart racing at our San Diego location. By far our most popular is our Arrive & Drive option. With this package, individuals of all ages* can come in anytime and experience the thrill of indoor karting, without the need to schedule a reservation. Simply show up and start racing – it’s that easy! Our Arrive & Drive races are for best lap time, allowing individuals to race for the win regardless of where they slot in the starting order, providing for a fair and evenly matched playing field.

     

    For groups of 8 or more people, we also offer a range of go-kart racing packages. These packages are great for groups, as they provide exclusive use of the track during your heats, reserved race times, and even a podium celebration for the winners! Perhaps best of all, our race packages are structured after a Formula One or FIA GT race weekend – rather than race against the clock, you race against each other for position! Whoever passes the checkered flag first wins!

    Our Karts

    If you’ve visited our K1 Speed Carlsbad location, then you know just how impressive our all-electric karts are. However, if you’ve never made the trek up north, or are new to the sport of indoor go-kart racing, you’re in for a surprise! The karts at our San Diego location features 20hp electric motors, providing them with superior performance to gas-powered alternatives. Around our roughly one-quarter-mile indoor kart track, they can reach speeds approaching 45mph! You can rest assured, whether you drive a Porsche every day or a bicycle, you will not be disappointed in the performance!

    Parties

    Our indoor go-kart racing location in downtown San Diego is uniquely equipped to handle a wide range of parties. If you are planning an adult birthday party, teen birthdayskid’s birthday partybachelor or bachelorette partycorporate event, or team building exercise, let us help.

    First time racing at the K1 Speed San Diego location. I was visiting from Chicago for the weekend. I normally race at my local K1 Speed track (Addison, IL) to race the monthly challenge gp races. I wanted to put my racing techniques to the test. Very fun track and there are lot of passing opportunities. The karts are fast and well-maintained. You can definitely carry max speed through the straights. The staff in general are fantastic and professional. I had a fantastic experience and K1 Speed San Diego was one of my favorite locations I have visited. Definitely recommend this location for a fun and thrilling experience.

    Hour wait before our race cycle began, but they have a decent area to chill with snack and drink options to kill the time. Small arcade, air hockey table. Not too busy even on a Saturday.

    All the staff at the K-1 down town San Diego location are super helpful and friendly! I look forward to my visits there on Fridays after work. It is one of the highlights of my week.

    Brought my son in, he had a great time....on arrival I did mention it was his first time.. I Paid the yearly fee, and three sessions.Later while my son was racing, I did see the special "DEAL." That is the yearly membership fee, two races and a choice of, Hat, Shirt or $10 game credit.I would have loved to known about that option upon arrival.The team at my location was friendly, and was willing to allow a return, but my son was sooooooo, happy with the experience, I just kept it at the (3) races which I originally purchased..So all worked out...All I can say is in the future it would be nice to know all options..Thanks...

    My boys and I always have fun at the K1 Speedway in San Diego. The only problem was the wait time in between races. We had to wait always 2 hours for our second race to start. It’ll be cool, if somehow those times wouldn’t be so long. Other than that, I would highly recommend this indoor fun!

    My first time driving! I learned about formula 1 last week and instantly fell in love with car racing. K1 is a great place to get a sense of what this kind of sport is and develop your kart racing skills! They also give a printed results after the race so you can see your own progress.A big thank you to all patient operators and staff here they made my whole experience really enjoyable!Also, I really wanted to get number 33 kart but my friend got it lol I was in 36 which is great but still…tu du du du Max Verstappen 🎶
