K1 Speed

Somewhat expensive, but crazy fun. Have been here three times. Just for the fact that it’s crazy fun, I would give them 5 stars… bit their prices and lack of proper organization, drops them to 3. Seriously… they seem to lack organization and they fail to acknowledge it as well. They have messed up our turns to race twice and would not even apologize for it.

We had our work holiday party here and it was a lot of fun! The location looks pretty new and all the racing equipment worked great. The bathrooms were out of order for the first hour or so we were there which was pretty bad considering we had 60 people there from as far south as Miami. But they worked it out that we could go to the building next door and the bathrooms were working by the time we left. The staff was so nice and helpful, they made the whole event wonderful!

Disappointed!!!
Here from Cali, raining like crazy, so off to K1.
After short intro off we went.
Got stuck behind some yokel, staff flags the let pass flag, I gesture to staff about blocking kart, and three laps later the guy pulls over. They then proceed to stop the whole field because I would not let same fool by. The dude yells at me, threatens to black flag me!!!
My friend was bumped off the line twice, which deserves a black flag, by their rules, nothing. In addition, we were not given the full race, as the laat three laps were slowed down for some reason.
The staff is clueless, and arbitrary. Once finished I complained to the flag guy, all he wanted to do was cover his butt.
We purchased two races, proceded to ask el Colombiano for a refund on the second. He attempted to justify his staff’s actions but then realized they were wrong, in addition to not wanting adverse reactions from customers waiting to purchase races, One family gave up on a membership, stating that based on our complaints they were go to try it out first.
He refunded the full purchase.
Only saving grace, as they state there are NO refunds.

went here for the first time with friends and had a blast!

Came here to race the fiancé for a rematch from our last vacation. We ended up doing the two race package since the lady at the front desk emphasized how short the races are and it also allowed us to try both tracks.
We started on the left track. It was my first time at the place so one of the guys made sure I got a good overview of the rules and what the different flags meant while we raced. After I acknowledged, I got my helmet on and went to my assigned car. Luckily, they added a booster seat to help accommodate how vertically challenged I am. Off to the race! We went around the track about 8 times. The placings of the race are very accurate — you can’t really rely on just passing someone as winning. They’ve got a computer system that monitors just how fast you are going. For example, my fiancé never passed me, but he posted a faster time by the end of the race.
Second track or the right side had more tight turns — made me a bit motion sick, but it was a fun nonetheless. Fiancé ended up winning the whole race according to the standings.
There are some serious guys that come here regularly as part of a monthly package, I suppose. One guy came with his own helmet and gloves to race. Serious stuff. Still, it’s fun for a big group activity and you can make a big deal about it on the place’s podium and even buy a trophy to show off.
Location is a bit hidden since it is tucked away in the back of an industrial area. I wished the tracks were a bit longer to enjoy, but you definitely get hooked on racing!

K1 Speed is a great place for parties, date night, or group outings. The focus on safety and quality equipment more than make up for the slightly high prices and will ensure a great time.
Located south of Orlando near the tourist district, K1 Speed is situated in a commercial area inside a large warehouse. The track is indoor, flat, and flawlessly clean. However, it was very warm and the A/​C wasn’t operating.
Our group of five came here on a Sunday evening around 8pm. The waiting room has a pool table (operated by quarters), a large couch area where you can sit, some vending machines, restrooms, and several televisions playing sports. It’s a great place to hangout while waiting for your turn, or to socialize if you’re having a party.
Unsurprisingly, it wasn’t crowded. However, there were still a few groups on the track and we had to wait a few minutes to get on the track. I liked that you only had to go onto the track with your personal group. I believe you can also request to go individually. This probably makes the wait longer, however, it is definitely worthwhile and makes the whole trip more enjoyable.
Before getting on the track, you must sign a waiver. After signing a waiver, you purchase a reusable card for $ 6 dollars. After this, you purchase your actual rides. One trip around the track is $ 19.99 (this may have been weekend pricing). However, there are various packages that offer slight discounts for multiple trips and «complimentary» T-​Shirts. I had thought this was a little high for the flat, indoor track (not as visually exciting as the multi-​level outdoor tracks that abound in the tourist district), but I quickly realized the price was extremely warranted due to the quality equipment and safety features.
Prior to getting into the go karts, an employee explained how to operate the karts and what the various flags meant. They explained what type of behavior would get you removed from the track, but also mentioned that they hardly had to remove anyone. The employees can turn off the karts remotely and modify the speed when it’s time to end the race.
Everyone then put on a stocking cap that kept the helmets sanitary. This looked ridiculous but was a great idea. Then the helmets went on and were secured and everyone got into their kart. Two of us were not tall enough for the standard kart and required a «booster seat.» These were added to the karts in moments and were entirely unobtrusive. Once everyone was settled and strapped into the carts, the employee opened the track and off we went!
The tracks are twisty and have plenty of turns to keep the race interesting. There’s a large screen that tracks how each participant is doing. It lists the times and your position in the race. It’s really fun to watch, but you can’t really look at it while on the track. After the race, the staff gives you print outs that track your performance, seconds per loop, and relative ranking compared to other drivers outside your group.
The area outside the track also has seating, some arcade games, and a small snack bar. There were several people milling around and watching their friends race. It looks like you could definitely keep people entertained if you came with a large group.
Overall, this is a great place to try go karting. It’s clean, safe, and a wonderful option for groups of almost any size.

Great day for the wife kids and family the indoor track allows the weather not to be a factor the electric carts are very fast without the odor or pollution from gas powered karts. First race I’m out and finished in the 89^th percentile in the nation.

This facility has a lot to offer. There are two indoor tracks that can accommodate elementary age to retirement. The electric karts can go 45mph but don’t have any fumes to gag on. The indoor offers AC in the Florida heat with snack options and video games, with comfortable seating for spectators. Go Karts can accommodate those over 6 feet tall, which is a plus for those really big kids.
Races are about $ 15 a piece, with weekday specials available. Each race allows 14 – 16 laps depending on skill and ability. You can bring your own helmet or get one here. Definitely not an every weekend event, but fun for big kids and little ones too. Birthday party options are available.

Overall the experience was good. Can’t really flaw much. There was a really bothering problem with the carts however: since these carts are electric, even when you tap the breaks a little the electric motor doesn’t allow throttle. Therefore even the slightest breaking would SOMETIMES stop the car completely and set it on a spin. Aside from that nothing was wrong with the experience – bothersome problem though.

I’ve never gone karting before so getting use to the controls was the biggest challenge for me. Luckily I didn’t crash into the wall… too hard.
Went up here for a friend’s birthday and had a pretty good time. The track is easy to navigate around but getting use to the turns and speed is hard if you don’t know what you’re really doing. Not to mention my car had this weird vibration thing going on towards the last few laps (I ended up with bruises on my knees). Other than making me feel like I was going to throw up on the track I had a pretty good time.
The one thing I will say is that this place is pricey. I’m not sure how much other places charge but I guess going there a few hours before closing didn’t help either. Another thing is that their snack bar is limited to a few drinks and a few snacks. Mostly M&M’s and Snickers and such.
I’d go back since I have one more race left since I sat out on my last one but I’m not sure if I’d come back and pay to race.

A great place for kids, teens, families, groups. Clean location, courteous staff. Took advantage of the week day special M-​Th $ 39.99 for 3 races ($ 60 otherwise). Extra group/​party rooms. Lots of comfy couches to chill out on and watch the racers. Would have gave it 5 stars if there had been a better snack bar.

The track was ok, I thought it was kind of lame that the guy working can slow people down to let other people pass. I went there with a bunch of friends and we were all racing and they it was kind of fixed because the guy working was slowing people down. And it was kinda pricey 20 $ for one race plus you have to by a membership…
