Think Karting is for you?
Do you, your partner or your Children love motorsport
Why not have a go at driving a racing kart to see if it is the right sport for you.
Come and experience the thrill of driving at speed around the Newton Harvesting Raceway.
KartSport Taranaki has karts available for ages 6 – 96 to come out and try karting to see if it is for you.
Please not we do not run a Rental Kart service. Our Have a Go days are intended for those to try out karting for the first time before they decide if they wish to invest in purchasing a kart, joining the club, and gaining a practice or race license.
Our volunteers run Have a Go days 3-5 times a year, please keep an eye on this page for details of our next Have a Go day.
