HOW DOES IT WORK?

Using a combination of cutting-edge electric karts, projection mapping and augmented reality technology, we're going to put you right into the heart of the action!

In all you should expect to be at the venue for 45-75 minutes, including check-in, pre-play activities, briefing, game-time, debrief and scores (you will be on the track for just over 20 minutes).
