The premier outdoor destination is the
TAG Karting Academy at
Mont-Tremblant. Located right next to the legendary car racing circuit, this 1.3 km track features 15 turns and runs a fleet of
CRG Centurion gas karts. With "Pro Speed" packages allowing speeds up to
70 km/h (43 mph) for qualified drivers, it offers a true driving challenge in a breathtaking alpine setting.
In the
Montreal metro area,
Action 500 is the dominant force for indoor racing. With locations in
Montreal,
Laval, and
Dorval, they are unique for having
100% paved asphalt tracks indoors (rather than polished concrete). This provides significantly more grip and allows their electric karts to corner at higher speeds, creating a more "race-like" experience than standard drift tracks.
For a futuristic experience,
Tag E-Karting & Amusement (Sainte-Thérèse) features a massive
multi-level electric track. It uses high-torque electric karts on a technical layout with elevation changes, serving as the anchor for a larger entertainment complex that includes laser tag and bowling.
For those seeking raw speed,
SC Performance Karting in Saint-Célestin (Centre-du-Québec) is a must-visit. This outdoor facility offers "Extreme" rental karts capable of hitting
90 km/h (55 mph), making them some of the fastest rentals available to the public in North America.
Gatineau / Ottawa Region: Residents of the National Capital Region often cross into Quebec for the best racing.
Top Karting in Gatineau is a staple, featuring a 1/4-mile paved indoor track where gas-powered karts reach speeds of 70 km/h. Further west,
Le Circuit Quyon provides a dedicated outdoor competition track that serves as the summer hub for Ottawa-area racers.
