Ankara Karting

About Ankara Karting

Ankara Karting (also signed as Ankara Karting Park) is an outdoor go-kart track in Mühye, on the Eymir side of Çankaya in southern Ankara. The circuit is about 800 metres long and runs anticlockwise, and the operator describes it as the longest track in Ankara and as the city's only licensed karting track with its own academy. Drivers choose between the standard fleet and 13 HP high-performance karts, and there is a children's kart for riders from 135 cm tall; adult karts are for drivers from 155 cm and up to 130 kg. Every kart carries a transponder, so each lap is timed at the start-finish line to a thousandth of a second, and the website shows live lap rankings. Sessions run from 5 to 30 minutes, and a helmet, a driving briefing and a safety briefing are included. The Karting Akademi offers one-to-one coaching with theory and practical lessons, gloves and helmet provided, and ends with an Ankara Karting certificate that also clears graduates to drive the 13 HP karts. Track flags are explained on site: red to stop, blue to give way, black to come into the pits and chequered for the end of the session. Beside the track is a country garden under pine trees where the operator serves breakfast, tea from a samovar and barbecue, for groups and families to sit between races. Practical notes: the track is open every day from 10:00 to midnight, and bookings can be made by phone or WhatsApp. EGO city buses stop at the Karting stop nearby. Prices are published on the website and change from time to time.
