A new indoor karting track, claimed to be the world’s longest, is set to be built in Braehead, Scotland.
K1 Speed is behind the plans, which will be located at XSite Braehead.
Set to open in autumn 2025, the venue will feature high-speed electronic karts able to reach up to 40mph, alongside an esports lounge.
The venue will be set over three floors and 90,000sq.ft is set to be a £5.5m investment from the company. The track will be 1km long and equipped with safety technology and timing systems.
Matt Holyfield, managing director at K1 Speed, said: “Our goal is to provide a top-tier entertainment experience that appeals to both casual racers and serious competitors.
“The new K1 Speed Braehead will embody our commitment to innovation, safety, and fun, and we’re excited to bring this to the region. We chose XSite because of its vibrant community and love for motorsport and can’t wait to see the excitement this new venue will bring to Glasgow.”
K1 Speed currently has 100 karting venues across 10 countries and is currently expanding its operations across Europe.
