A new go-karting centre will soon be opening in the town of Akureyri in northern Island.
The "one-of-a-kind" track for Akureyri will open June 1, reports The Reykjavik Grapevine, to be located near the Akureyri Car Club.
Opened by Hákon Gunnar Hákonarson and Baldvin Þór Ellertsson, the new track was inspired by a desire to bring excitement and variety back to the town's entertainment offering.
“It goes without saying that young drivers who have driven a go-kart for a few years before hitting the road are safer and better drivers," said Hákonarson.
"In addition to being a fun pastime, go-karting provides a safe environment for kids to learn about driving before they take their driving test."
