“And only in competition, I see life” (Enzo Ferrari)
The karting tracks are open all year round so feel free to add a race or two to your itinerary and change the pace of your holiday, cool off with speed and compete in a healthy way.
Keep in mind that minors must be authorized by their father or mother or legal guardian to carry out the activity. The minimum age to drive karts is determined by each company for the safety of their customers, due to the different powers of the karts available.
If you are unsure about whether you can ride a kart due to a particular health condition, ask us and we will clarify any doubts you have.
But... What is Karting Tenerife?
Karting is what a karting competition is called. The karts themselves do not have a strict definition, but it is understood that they are single-seater vehicles without bodywork and suspension with four wheels aligned.
The Tenerife karting tracks are between 600 and 1,700 meters and between 8 and 15 meters wide, making them ideal training places for any novice driver, as well as being the first track for many drivers in the different modalities of motor sport.
Most karting companies in Tenerife have several models of karts available to the public to adapt to the needs of the customer, generally between 120 CC for the little ones, climbing up to 390/400 CC for adults wanting more speed.
Without a doubt, karting is a great opportunity to experience the world of motorsport for the first time or to practice your skills in a safe environment.
The karts are very close to the ground and heavy, which makes them quite safe. They are unlikely to turn around.
They are quite resistant to shocks. In addition, the tracks are flat and full of protections on the curves and edges of the circuit so that you can enjoy the race in a reliable environment for young and old.
You are always free to race on your own and enjoy the track if you don’t coincide with anyone, but most karting companies in Tenerife offer discounts for groups of more than 6 people. You usually pay for a set of laps, so you can have a small glass to enjoy together.

To conclude...
Take advantage and add Karting in Tenerife to your summer itinerary. You won’t regret it!
Whether you are a veteran driver, want the little ones to have their first car experience in a safe environment, or if you just want to have a friendly drink with friends, the karting tracks in Tenerife are perfect for you.
In summer we recommend the slope in the north of the island if you want to practice between 12 and 4 hours since in the south it can be a little hotter.
If the weather is not good, you have the indoor track of the Karting Indoor Tenerife. Remember that Karting Tenerife also offers a large bar to relax after the race.
If it’s your first time karting, don’t worry, virtually every track includes around 10 minutes of test laps. In addition, they will give you instructions on how to drive the kart before starting. Obviously, protective equipment is included in the price, but you can bring your own helmet if you have one.
It should be noted that, if the circuits seem too large for children, some of them have alternative routes for easier and shorter children.
We hope we have encouraged you to enjoy an experience on wheels on your next vacation. See you on the track!
