One of the longest indoor track worldwide

There are 3 types of sessions. Bambini (for beginner children) and Family (for children with some experience, teens and adults) both last 14 minutes, while Racing sessions (for adults with driving experience) last 18 minutes. Bambini and Family cost 24 euros for one session, while Racing sessions cost 32 euros. Prices decrease the more sessions you book. Also check our current promotions.

At Experience Factory Eupen, it’s really more about height than age: you need to be at least 1.30 m tall to reach the pedals and drive solo. Children between 1.20 m and 1.30 m can already ride accompanied by an adult in a duo kart. For younger or more nervous kids, Bambini sessions are offered daily.

At Experience Factory Eupen, our karts are petrol-powered, not electric. Since the building was constructed around ten years ago, electric karts weren’t yet a mature technology at the time, hence the significant investment in hall ventilation instead. Petrol-powered karts also offer a particular appeal for Racing sessions, which is appreciated by experienced drivers. Our second complex in Antwerp uses electric karts, so the transition is underway, just not on the cards for Eupen yet.

The following people are not allowed to drive: adults who are not medically fit to drive, pregnant women, people with a blood alcohol level above 0.5 g/L, people under the influence of drugs, people suffering from anaemia or heart, respiratory or back conditions, and people who have experienced an unexplained loss of consciousness within the past five years.

At Experience Factory Eupen, progression works by session type rather than simply by speed level: Bambini for children under 10 or those who are a bit nervous, Family for riding together in a mixed group of children and parents, and Racing for experienced drivers (14+ or 1.60 m+, or Silver licence holders). For younger drivers up to the age of 15-16, two courses are also available to help them progress: Start2Race and Racing School.

For adults discovering karting who want to gain more experience on track, All In offers 4×18-minute sessions, giving you plenty of track time alongside other drivers to get to grips with the kart and improve your pace. Unlike Start2Race and Racing School for children, All In is not a coaching programme but an opportunity to gain experience through more intensive driving. We also offer private lessons, which are ideal for adults: our coaches are drivers who know the track inside out and are recognised both here and elsewhere, and they’ll give you the best insights and tips to help you progress.

Bambini sessions are designed for young or nervous children discovering karting for the first time. They take place daily, usually at the beginning of our opening hours (generally 4pm on weekdays and 11am on weekends). We recommend booking ahead to secure your spot.

Family sessions allow children and parents to drive together in a fun and relaxed setting, sharing the track with other children, teenagers and adults. Several sessions take place every day before 7pm.

You need to be at least 1.30 m tall to reach the pedals; between 1.20 m and 1.30 m, a child can ride accompanied by an adult in a duo kart. There’s no real weight limit, as we have three karts with wide seats, but above 2 m or 125 kg, driving comfort may be limited.

Junior karts develop 6 horsepower, adult karts 9 horsepower, and the duo kart 13 horsepower. Despite these power differences, all karts reach the same top speed: 60 to 65 km/h.

It depends on the session type: up to 32 karts in Racing sessions, 25 in Family sessions, and 15 in Bambini sessions.

Our track is among the longest indoor tracks in the world, measuring 1.1 km in length.

Yes, everyone visiting for the first time goes through the briefing room, where a marshal gives the necessary information, either verbally or via video. Gold licence holders are exempt, except during official races.

Progression depends on your age, your height and your lap times. Younger drivers move from Bambini sessions to Family sessions, and then to Racing sessions once they meet the age or height requirement. Children under 14 can gain earlier access to Racing sessions by earning a Silver licence: simply create an Experience ID, complete at least one Family session and beat the required lap time. More experienced drivers can then aim for a Gold licence, earned by setting an even faster lap time during a Racing session, which gives access to Monday All In PRO sessions and to the official SWS races on Tuesday evenings.

Yes, there are 2 licences: Silver, which gives children under 14 access to Racing sessions before reaching the usual age or height requirement, and Gold, which gives access to Monday All In PRO sessions and official SWS races on Tuesday evenings. Both licences are earned by achieving the required lap times.

Bambini sessions are designed to give younger or more nervous children the best possible first karting experience. Family sessions are suitable for a wider range of drivers, allowing children and parents to drive together in a fun setting.

Start2Race is a training course offered once a month on a Wednesday for children discovering karting. Unlike Bambini sessions, parents do not take part in the course.

Racing School takes place once a month on a Sunday and is aimed at drivers with a Silver licence who want to improve their technique. Private lessons are also available.

Yes, three karting camps are organised each year: Carnival, Easter and Summer.

Yes, as long as your child is at least 1m20 tall.

Racing sessions are reserved for drivers aged 14+ or at least 1.60 m tall, as well as Silver licence holders, with a real focus on speed and performance. Family sessions are suited to mixed groups of children and parents.

Yes, you’re welcome to bring your own equipment, as long as it meets our safety requirements (e.g. a helmet that provides chin protection).

Wearing a helmet is mandatory. You’re welcome to bring your own, as long as it provides chin protection. Only full-face and motocross helmets are allowed.

Comfortable sportswear is recommended. Heels, sandals and bare feet are not allowed.

Yes, you can film your session and share it on social media. Cameras are also available to rent and can be mounted on your helmet. Just ask at reception.

Tyres last around 300 hours of use, which is roughly 2 to 3 months.

It’s a sport, but the Easy Drive system fitted on adult karts makes cornering easier, and children’s karts are lighter. Generally, most people can comfortably complete two sessions.

You pay for a session duration (14 or 18 minutes). You can return to the pits during the session, but the clock keeps running, so you’ll lose driving time.

Weight can slightly disadvantage heavier drivers, but the differences mostly come down to driving style. A 5 kg difference represents about 0.3 seconds per lap.

Not after every session, only during official races. The podium remains available for photos, though, and medals and trophies can be requested at reception.

Yes, they are available at reception to celebrate a win.

Junior karts have a less powerful engine than adult karts, but are lighter and more agile, allowing them to reach a comparable speed. They are a great step before moving up to an adult kart.

There’s no group coaching for adults, but private lessons with a coach are available to help you improve your lap times.

Every new visitor goes through a mandatory safety briefing (spoken or video) before their first karting session. Wearing a helmet is compulsory, and the number of karts on track is limited depending on the session type (15 to 32). For axe throwing, participants must be at least 14 years old and must not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
