Indoor Go-Kart Racing & Entertainment in the South Bay

Located on Vermont Avenue in Gardena, near the 405 and 110 freeways, K1 Speed Torrance brings indoor electric go-kart racing, arcade games, dining, and group events to Los Angeles County’s South Bay. Just 11 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and a short drive from San Pedro and Long Beach, our facility offers year-round entertainment for families, friends, and groups.

 

Whether you’re competing for the fastest lap, celebrating a birthday, or planning a corporate outing, there’s plenty to enjoy both on and off the track.

 

Our 14-Turn Indoor Go-Kart Track

 

Our 14-turn indoor go-kart track at K1 Speed Torrance features a strong mix of technical and high-speed sections. Turns 1 through 3 are much faster than you’d think- try to keep the throttle down as much as you can while hitting the apexes. Stay to the left on the approach to Turn 5, then aim for a late apex to carry more speed through Turns 6 and 7. Hug the wall on the inside of Turn 8 and take a late apex through Turns 9-10. Then take a late apex into Turn 13 and carry as much speed as you can to the finish line.

High-Performance Electric Go-Karts

K1 Speed Torrance offers indoor electric go-kart racing for adults, teens, and kids. Our OTL Storm karts for adults and teens can reach speeds of up to 45 mph, while our Junior Karts for younger drivers can reach up to 25 mph.

 

Unlike gas-powered karts, our electric karts deliver responsive acceleration without tailpipe emissions or exhaust fumes. For a more detailed comparison, read our article about electric karts versus gas karts.

Absolutely recommend for any group activity. Very safe but can be rough in a large group. If you have bad back or neck there is a small arcade to burn time too

First time out here, staff was friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable if you bundle and the track is nice with some challenging turns. Went on a Saturday and it wasnt too packed which is probably a rarity but it was nice to not wait long between races.

My mom had her 56th bday party here. Yes, 56th! 🤣 She had never been gocart racing, so she found K1 and gave it a shot. I gotta say, we all had a good time. I liked the leader boards being visible as I raced, and the printout with our times and how we placed after the race. At the end there was a medal ceremony and I knew it was going to be a cheap plastic medal, and it wasnt! It was actually nice. I was 1st place out of all the women and men. Some of our people got a little injured from being hit by other riders... my nephew shook his pain off, the older people who got hit had some minor whiplash and pain through their body. The food was whatever... but I wasnt expecting much in that dept. Over all a good time. Staff was helpful and very friendly.
