AUTOBAHN KART RACING

Chicago’s fastest corporate kart racing. 50 mph CRG racing karts on our private ½-mile circuit. Practice, qualify, race — exclusive access to the fastest karting your guests have ever felt.

THE PROGRAMS

WHEEL TO WHEEL.
FROM THE FIRST LAP.

Exclusive Kart Racing gives your group private access to our 50 mph CRG racing karts and ½-mile circuit. These are real racing karts on a real racing track — fast, precise, and built for competition.

Every guest gets three sessions: one practice/qualifying round, then two wheel-to-wheel race heats. The fastest qualifier starts on pole. Hardest charger wins. No experience required — just a willingness to compete.

It’s the fastest way to turn a corporate group into a grid.

IDEAL FOR

Corporate kart racing built for groups that compete.

01

Team Building & Offsites

Low barrier to entry, high competitive ceiling. Everyone can drive — and everyone wants to win. Perfect for groups of any age or skill level.

02

Client Hosting & Smaller Groups

An exclusive, high-energy format that works as a complete event for smaller groups or as a featured activity within a larger day.

03

ADD-ON TO LARGER PROGRAMS

Pair karting with The Autobahn Experience or Autocross Competition to extend your day and give guests two distinct racing formats.

GROUP KART RACING 

THREE RACING FORMATS

SMALL GROUPS: PERSONAL BEST

TIMED LAPPING SESSION

Built around pure seat time and personal improvement. Drivers participate in three timed nine-minute sessions over the course of an hour, with breaks in between to review lap times, refine technique, and prepare for the next run. It’s a fast-paced lapping experience focused on consistency, progression, and chasing your best lap.

KART RACING: SMALLER GROUPS

STANDARD KARTING

Wheel-to-wheel racing in a true competitive format built around speed, consistency, and racecraft. Drivers begin with a qualifying session followed by two competitive races where every move matters. Whether racing individually or in teams, each session delivers intense head-to-head action from green flag to checkered flag.

KART RACING: LARGER GROUPS

ENDURO Karting Challenge

A fast-paced team endurance race where strategy matters as much as speed. Groups are divided into teams that must manage driver rotations, race pace, and timing — deciding when to conserve and when to make the final push. Inspired by relay-style competition, every lap and every decision can impact the outcome.

10–40

TYPICAL GROUP SIZE

Best run with groups of 10 or more. Additional pricing applies for groups of 20+. Larger groups by request.
