Hyper Karting is one of Sydney’s latest additions to go-karting race tracks, and it’s such a great addition too. If you’ve done go-karting before, then you will know how bad those race tracks can smell and how noisy they can be.

That is because Hyper uses brand new, German-made electric go-karts with zero emissions or fumes. They can go just as fast, if not faster, than traditional go-karts. You will be racing on the 5th level of the main car park on an exhilarating 410 metres long indoor race track.

Here are a few tips for the best and safest go-karting experience:

• Always listen to instructions, stick to the rules and pay attention to the flag and light signals.
• If you’re racing at a slower speed than others on the track, let them overtake on the straights or go wide on the turns.
• Leave sliding and drifting to experienced racers, it will just slow you down.
• Brake gently on the straights before turning, not during the turn.
• Always keep the front tires in control to maintain the best race line.
• Only overtake slower drivers when it is safe to do so.
• Go wide before cutting into the turn, and then accelerate at the apex.
