About Hipodrom RS Arena Karting

Hipodrom RS Arena Karting is a go-kart track on the grounds of the Turkish Jockey Club's 75. Yıl Hipodromu, Ankara's racecourse beside the Istanbul road in the Batıkent area of Yenimahalle. The track is laid out by the racecourse's large car park, and it appears on the Turkish Automobile Sports Federation (TOSFED) list of licensed hobby karting tracks under the name RS Arena Spor Tesisleri. According to the venue's own page, the facility covers about 20,000 square metres around an 870-square-metre track, and the fleet includes 16 karts of 6.5 hp, 12 more powerful 9 hp karts and 3 junior karts for younger drivers. The operators say the track is open every day. It makes an easy add-on to a day at the races or to an outing in Batıkent, and it suits groups of friends and families with children old enough for the junior karts. Session prices, age and height limits and current opening times are not published on an official website, so call ahead to check, particularly at weekends and in bad weather.
