Hyper Karting – Long Weekend Fun
It doesn’t matter how many times we jump behind the wheel of these carts it never gets old. Hyperkarting features German-made RiMO electric karts that are faster than petrol go-karts and hit their top speed much quicker. We love hitting the track on the weekends and the live stats and lap time display means the goal is right there in front of you at all times. There are even sector breakdowns like a real formula one race and an overboost (DRS) style button for use on straights when you need that extra kick. Situated in Moore Park and boasting a massive speaker setup, the experience is immersive for all ages. Perfect for the long weekend!
