Go Karting in British Columbia
Discover premier karting circuits around British Columbia.
British Columbia’s karting landscape is defined by its geography. In the Okanagan, you will find a resort-style professional track that rivals anything in Europe. In the Lower Mainland, the scene is a battle between the traditional visceral feel of gas karts and the modern torque of electrics. Whether you are looking for a casual indoor race in Richmond or a 95 km/h 2-stroke experience in the mountains, BC has a track for every skill level.
The crown jewel of BC motorsport is Kartplex at Area 27 in Oliver. Located within the exclusive Area 27 luxury motorsport club, the Kartplex is open to the public. It offers a tiered "Arrive & Drive" system where qualified drivers can graduate from standard rentals to 2-stroke performance karts capable of 95 km/h. It is widely considered the most premium karting experience in Western Canada.
In the Vancouver/Richmond area, TBC Indoor Karting stands out as the guardian of the "old school." Unlike most indoor centers that have switched to electric, TBC continues to run gas-powered Sodi karts. For drivers who crave the sound of an engine and the smell of fuel, this is the go-to spot. Just down the road, Speeders Indoor ProKarts (Richmond) offers the modern alternative: a clean, high-speed electric experience perfect for corporate events and consistent lap times.
For pure competition enthusiasts, Greg Moore Raceway in Chilliwack is legendary. Named after the late IndyCar star, it is a technical CIK-approved track. While the track itself is a member-run club, the public can race here through third-party operators like InSpeed, who provide high-end Rotax rental karts and coaching on select dates.
Family Fun:
- Central City Fun Park (Surrey): A massive indoor amusement park featuring a neon-lit electric go-kart track, roller skating, and bowling—ideal for families and younger drivers.
- Fast Track Indoor Karting (Langley): A reliable option for the Fraser Valley, offering gas-powered indoor racing with a focus on junior development and parties.
