Outdoor Karting in Canada
In Canada, Outdoor Karting is a seasonal phenomenon that transforms the sport from "fun" to "serious speed." While indoor tracks operate year-round, the outdoor season (typically May to October) unlocks access to world-class circuits and high-performance machinery. Unlike the standard 70km/h electric karts found in malls, Canada's premier outdoor tracks run unrestricted 4-stroke gas karts capable of reaching 80-90 km/h on F1-grade asphalt.
The Canadian outdoor scene is defined by its connection to professional racing circuits.
The "Pro" Rental Experience: Because the season is short, Canadian outdoor tracks maximize the experience.
- Quebec's Speed: The Tag Karting Academy at Mont-Tremblant offers a "Pro Speed" package using 13hp Honda engines (GX390) that hit 90 km/h. This is significantly faster than typical rentals and requires drivers to be 16+.
- Ontario's GP Track: Mosport Karting Centre (at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park) runs a fleet of BirelART rental karts on a 1.5km track with massive elevation changes, reaching speeds of 80 km/h.

Outdoor Karting — FAQs
They are the fastest available to the public. While indoor karts cap at around 70 km/h, outdoor "Pro" karts at venues like Mont-Tremblant and Mosport can reach speeds of 80-90 km/h (50-55 mph) due to higher horsepower engines and long straightaways.
The outdoor karting season in Canada is short. It typically opens in early May (or late April if weather permits) and closes by late October or early November. Tracks like Kartbahn and Mont-Tremblant are strictly closed during the winter months.
Yes. Unlike oval racing, outdoor road-course karting often continues in the rain. Tracks will usually only pause operations for lightning or heavy standing water. Racing in the wet is considered a fun challenge and a great way to improve skills.
For standard rental sessions, no driver's license is required—just a height check (usually 54 inches or 139cm for adults). However, to access the 90km/h "Pro Speed" karts at Mont-Tremblant, you must be 16 years old.
In British Columbia and Alberta, many outdoor tracks (like Greg Moore Raceway) are club-run facilities focused on owner-drivers and do not offer public rental karts. In these regions, casual racers typically use indoor facilities like K1 Speed or Fast Track.
