If you want to experience the thrill of indoor go-kart racing, look no further! At K1 Speed Concord, our all-electric karts provide a driving experience like no other, and our professionally designed indoor track will challenge even veteran racers. Whether you want to race against friends and family, test your mettle against the clock, or enjoy a night out with co-workers, our Concord indoor go-kart racing location is for you! Located a short driving distance from Charlotte’s City Center and Uptown district and Concord Mills mall, and other racing-related destinations such as Charlotte Motor Speedway, NASCAR Hall of Fame, Roush Fenway, Joe Gibbs Racing, and Hendrick Motorsports.

Looking for the Best Karting in the Tar Heel State?

Karting has come a long way since your parents’ childhood. If your idea of a go-kart is a cobbled-together steel chassis with an old lawn mower engine attached to it, you’re in for a surprise. At K1 Speed, we pride ourselves on building world-class entertainment venues – not simply go-kart tracks. It is this commitment to excellence that has allowed K1 Speed to become the largest karting company in the United States, with locations nationwide. We have a ton to offer, including:

Our Karts

What separates K1 Speed from so many other karting locations is our go-karts. All-electric, professionally designed in Europe (the worldwide epicenter of karting), and incredibly easy to drive, our karts offer a unique, pleasurable, and memorable driving experience. Unlike traditional gas-powered karts, which are noisy and tend to bog in slower corners, our karts accelerate effortlessly out of even tight hairpins with almost no sound. You may hear a slight whir from the electric motor, but other than that, what will strike you is the lack of sound! Of course, our karts also emit no exhaust fumes of any kind, which makes for an inviting atmosphere inside our locations.

Our Tracks

At K1 Speed Concord, our indoor go-kart racing experience will redefine what you come to expect from karting. And much of this comes down to the location itself, specifically our professionally designed race track. Our indoor tracks are smoothly graded, have high-grip surfaces that allow for maximum cornering speed, and utilize high-tech safety barriers for our competitors’ safety and assurance. Furthermore, like all of our indoor go-kart tracks, the track at our Concord location features a challenging combination of turns and straight sections, which will give you (and your kart) a full workout! Of course, when you’re not racing, you can relax in our leather couches, check out our authentic racing memorabilia, or get a bite to eat at our Pit Cafe.

Our Race Packages

Whether it’s a lively Friday night or a lazy Sunday afternoon, the easiest way to experience indoor karting at our Concord location is our Arrive & Drive package. This option allows racers of all ages* to compete in heats for the fastest lap with up to 12 other competitors – no reservation required. Simply show up with your friends and family in tow! We provide the helmets and driving instruction needed to safely compete on our track.

 

For larger parties, we also offer a number of private race packages. Each includes multi-heat race formats, podium ceremonies for the winners, reserved race times, and exclusive access to our track. These packages are ideal for special events, business meetings, and more, such as:

 

 

If you do decide to host a special event at our Concord indoor go-kart racing location, we have private meeting rooms available as well. Each includes complimentary WiFi access, multimedia setups, ample seating, and a private space for you and your party to escape to during race heats. To book a race package for your event, contact K1 Speed today.

Come In Today

Located a stone’s throw from Kannapolis and a short drive from Charlotte, K1 Speed Concord is the place to spend time with friends! Visit our indoor go-kart racing location today and see for yourself! We look forward to seeing you soon.

On New Years Day we were looking for something fun to do and we’re so glad we decided to try out K1. They explained everything to us newbies, the place was clean and organized. It was fun to take home our results from the race too.

A ton of fun. We got to boost our karts to max speed for good behavior and no other racers around. 4-stars cuz they didn’t activate the speed on my kart in the last race so I fell behind the competition.

Looking for a fun indoor activity? Kids or adults, both are accomodated. K1 is not cheap (prepare to pay between $50 and $100 per person depending on the number of lapping sessions you buy. Each session is about 12 laps. Small kids are separated from adults in different karts and alternating sessions. Helmets and head socks are provided.These karts are electric so there is no smelly fumes situation and the noise is minimal. The facility is fairly clean. There might be a wait if you arrive at a busy time in the evening or on weekends. (Most we've waited is about an hour and a half.)There is a small arcade and food, but honestly there could be a lot more. Other karting facilities have better things to do besides the karts but K1 is almost entirely about driving. Staff is adequate but I can't find much to compliment in the warm and friendly department. Safety seems to be the priority (which is good) but the team seemed mostly bored and underwhelmed.They only have one layout but it's a fun challenge. Karts are controlled remotely for safety around incidents (spin outs or small crashes with each other and the barriers). They also keep you slowed down at the beginning and end of each session.Hardcore racing nerds (like me) or karting enthusiasts might prefer gas karts and larger tracks but for novice drivers and kids I think K1 is a great introduction to faster karts than your average arcade. My boys always have fun driving here.

It was my daughter and I first time and it was alright. The front desk person, I guess didn't get the fact that I wanted to drive too for the one round only package but I decided I didn't care to fight it. The other staff members that get the kids seated and check seatbelts had to be check themselves. I watched them check everyone seat belt except for my daughter's and she was in the middle. They were having a side conversation and I had to ask them multiple times to help my daughter with her seat belt because she was struggling. My child was the only minority in the group of junior drivers. I tried my best not to show out because I know my daughter really wanted the experience so I didn't. All in all it was okay. My daughter had a great time and wants to come back but we'll see.

My son and I enjoyed ourselves. We happened to arrive when not too busy, so wait times were not long at all in between races. I wish they wouldn't remove the race times from the big screen until after we return the carts.
