Karting safety
A world-class karting track
Our karting track was built by Slovenian company 360karting, a renowned karting track manufacturer with tracks around the world.
What makes our karting track special is its modular design, with three different track layouts. We can switch between the Monaco Track, Daytona Track and Silverstone Supertrack.
Our track also has several other features that set it apart from other karting centres. These include a dive-in turn inside a tunnel built into the floor and a banked curve – a sharp turn with a 12-degree incline. And to make your drive even more thrilling, lighting effects follow you around the entire track.
State-of-the-art go-karts
WOOP! drivers get behind the wheel of state-of-the-art electric go-karts by German manufacturer RIMO, designed to deliver the highest safety standards, comfort and an authentic racing experience.
The go-karts feature four-point safety harnesses, speed settings that can be fully adjusted to the driver’s age and ability, and precisely adjustable steering wheels and pedals for the driver’s size and comfort. Drivers can also rely on protective bumpers around the entire kart, a unique braking system and highly responsive handling.
Smart safety system
The entire karting track is monitored by the RaceFacer smart safety system. It tracks activity on the circuit, manages signals and driver warnings, and can even adjust go-kart speeds in the event of unexpected situations or obstacles on the track.
Results tracking app
All WOOP! drivers’ results are updated in real time in the RaceFacer app, which racers can download to their smartphones free of charge.
Professional and well-trained staff
Our track marshals, who look after the fun and safety of all our visitors, must meet high training standards. They need to know how to create a fun experience, master the technical aspects of working on the track and be trained in collision prevention.
Before the race, they give you all the necessary instructions. During the race, they monitor the action and use flags to guide drivers.
Follow the flags on the track
All visitors must follow the instructions of our safety staff, who also use professional track signals to communicate what is happening on the circuit.
After the safety briefing, all drivers are expected to understand and follow the racing flags and trackside signal lights.
Green flag: The signal to start driving or racing. Have fun and drive safely!
Red flag: The session has been stopped – stop racing immediately! Slow down, proceed carefully to the start/finish line and stop.
Yellow flag: Danger! Slow down and continue with caution. Overtaking is prohibited.
Blue flag: One or more faster drivers are approaching. Keep your line, slow down immediately and move to the marked right-hand side of the track. Faster drivers will overtake you on the left.
Black flag: Disqualification from the race. The driver must return to the pit on the next lap.
Chequered flag: The session is over. Slow down, complete your lap and return to the pit.
What the speed levels mean
Our 5-level speed system lets you build your racing skills safely, while the smart dynamic speed system allows you to progress based on your age, experience and driving ability.
Speed levels also help us separate slower, more cautious drivers from faster, more skilled ones. Once you achieve the required lap time during a race, you move up to the next speed level. On your next visit, you will drive in the speed level you qualified for.
Responsible drivers
The go-kart equipment and smart safety system do a great job of keeping you safe, but responsible driving is essential too. To enjoy a safe experience, follow the basic safety rules of the karting arena. Follow the rules, be a hero! #woopheroes
Use the required safety equipment
To drive, you must wear a hygiene balaclava and a correctly sized helmet.
Watch the safety video
Before entering the track, watch the safety video and listen carefully to any additional instructions from WOOP! staff.
Follow additional instructions
While driving, pay close attention to what is happening on the track, the signals and any additional safety instructions you may receive at any time during the race.
Safety racing equipment
A racing helmet is mandatory when driving a go-kart. You can borrow one free of charge at the WOOP! Karting Arena. Helmets are available in different sizes, so it is important to choose the right size for the driver’s age and head size. Don’t worry, our friendly team will help you choose.
Every karting driver must also wear a hygiene balaclava. You can get one at the WOOP! Karting reception for an additional 2,50 €. The balaclava is yours to keep and can be reused on future visits.
Closed sports shoes are also required in addition to the helmet and balaclava.
