Ring Kartbahn

The Ring kartbahn is an indoor karting facility located under the Ring Werk next to the welcome centre. The karts aren't the fastest karts in the world, (50 KPH top speed) but they are fun to chuck around corners on such a twisty indoor circuit. However, the track isn’t quite FIA grade 1. It may be fun to drive around, but it’s so narrow that overtaking is challenging to say the least and takes sheer brute force to muscle through backmarkers. That’s not to say that you won’t have fun though, because it’s karting, what’s not to like?

The format for a session is this, fill out the insurance forms at the reception and queue up till a space is free. It should be noted though that unless it’s Formula 1, DTM or the Nurburgring 24 there won’t be much of a queue. 8 karts race on the track, it is a practice session and not an organised race, although they won’t stop you from overtaking and there is a positions board which you can watch while driving round. Your standard session will be 10 minutes long and you will receive a stats page with everyone’s lap times top speed etc
