HILLIARD, Ohio, Dec. 18, 2024 - K1 Speed, the world's largest indoor kart racing operator, has opened its second Ohio location in Hilliard, near Columbus. This new center joins K1 Speed's existing location in North Canton, offering Ohio residents expanded access to its electric kart racing experience.
K1 Speed is known for its cutting-edge electric go-karts. Their OTL Superleggero kart for teens and adults reaches speeds of up to 45 mph. Meanwhile, their junior karts allow children to race up to 20 mph. The new location features a professionally designed, multilevel track with thrilling elevation changes. Off-track, guests can enjoy an arcade, a Paddock Lounge café, and private event rooms for birthdays and corporate events.
In addition to its Arrive & Drive experience, which allows guests to race for the fastest lap, K1 Speed hosts a monthly Challenge GP league, where racers compete for on-track positions and points. At the end of the year, the top three points finishers qualify for a chance to race in the K1 Speed E-World Championship, where the three best American racers face off against competitors from K1 Speed locations around the world, including England, France, and Italy for large cash prizes.
"We're excited to bring a second location to Ohio," says Susan Danglard, Co-Owner and Director of Marketing. "Our Canton location has been a big success, producing many strong kart racers. So, we can't wait to discover more talent from this great state."
K1 Speed is now open seven days a week at 3700 Fishinger Blvd in Hilliard. For more information, visit k1speed.com/columbus-location.html.
