karting club mijas
The Málaga Karting Club, located in Mijas, is a very interesting
option for speed lovers. Covering an area of 30,000 m2, the place
gives us the opportunity to emulate the big names of motor racing
- just when the driver from Asturias, Fernando Alonso, is on a winning
streak - or simply to measure ourselves against pilots with the
skills similar to ours.
For the visitors' benefit, there is an extraordinary track whose
length and flawlessness make it apt to carry out go-cart or scooters
championships as well as rallies. The facility is also provided
with an ample parking area, a pits area, a repair shop, a shop,
a large deck and a spacious restaurant bar.
The centre opens at 10:00 and has five different types of karts
to choose from, depending on the driver's age: Competition Kart
(18 years and older), Formula Kart (over 15), Junior Kart (over
10), Pony Kart (over 5) and Two-seater Kart (fitting an adult and
a child under 5 years old).
In addition, this is a perfect place for celebrating special events.
That is how birthdays parties, communions, business meals and farewell
parties become the best occasions to race and compete. In order
to make it more realistic, there is a prize giving ceremony at the
end of each race, where the three finalists are awarded.
Put on your helmet, buckle up and enjoy driving a small but fast
vehicle at the Málaga Karting Club in Mijas.
