Full description
If you think go-karting is just child’s play, you’ve never been on a proper race track.
At Karting Rioveggio, near Bologna, the adrenaline rushes along 940 metres of bends and straights. You’ll climb into a powerful 206 cc single-seater kart on a racing chassis, capable of reaching 80 km/h.
Fasten your helmet and grip the steering wheel: the track is waiting for you!
What we will do
The meeting is at 9. 00 am at Karting Rioveggio, in the province of Bologna.
After you’ve been welcomed and handed your kit (helmet, overalls and rib protector) , you’ll take part in a technical safety briefing. The instructor will explain how the brakes and accelerator work, how to manage your lines and the meaning of the track flags.
You will then put on your helmet and take your place behind the wheel of your Briggs LO206 4-stroke 206 cc single-seater kart. You’ll head out onto the track for the first of three 15-minute sessions. Between sessions, you’ll have a break of around 30–45 minutes (depending on how busy it is) to catch your breath and gather your thoughts before heading back out onto the track.
Along the 940-metre technical circuit, you’ll be able to reach speeds of up to 80 km/h, feeling every single vibration from the track surface and pushing the limits at every braking point.
At the end of the three driving sessions, you’ll hand back the equipment and can relax at the circuit bar. The experience lasts half a day and will finish around 1. 00 pm.
