Gran Karting Club

I love my karting and have done it many times in a number of countries but this is one of the best tracks i have ever been too.
The karts are in good condition and fairly nippy. if you have not been before you have to drive the standard basic kart first which was a great experience anyway as the track itself is so good!
I was then able to upgrade to a super kart (again standard but 20mph quicker). This was a much quicker kart and a whole lot more fun for a rent a kart experience! We went back later in the week we loved it so much.
There is plenty of parking, a good café/​bar (unlike the UK you can drink and drive too it seems), nice open air seating or air con in the café depending on preference.
Some Staff struggle with language barriers at times but mostly helpful and pleasant. The first run all our names were attached to the wrong karts on the computer.
Safety briefings are unheard of here it seems as we learnt from this and jet skiing. It’s helmet on and get out there and get driving. There were no full face helmets available as far as i can tell which is a little worry as i have seen plenty of people lose teeth over the years. There was hardly any waiting time, if you wanted to go out you handed in your ticket and moments later you were off.
They provided a mounted photograph of you racing if you liked for 5 euros, i rarely purchase anything like this but i did here as it was a good picture and well presented.
After a couple of sessions i was able to take the fastest lap of the month so i was ecstatic with that result.
On our second visit there was a track day on the full size circuit across the street with some bikers screaming around which was a nice addition to the experience. There was also a kart racer test driving their Rotax race kart between our sessions which was great to watch.
If you like karting or motorsport at all this is a must visit if your in Gran Canaria, i almost had to be dragged away from this place on both visits, my only regret is that i do not live closer to it.
If in the area i will certainly be going back for more!
