3. What is the minimum area required for starting a rental karting business?
  From our experience, some of the best running tracks are built on 3.500 to 5.000 sqm, while the minimum required area would be 1.200 sqm.
4. What is the ideal length for a track to run a successful rental karting business?
  360 K’s advice is to have from 300 m (approx. 27 sec/lap) to 500 m (approx. 46 sec/lap).
  A shorter track will be easier to remember, allow more laps per session, while still offering a great driving experience. On the other hand, a longer track allows for more diversity of the track elements (e.g. banked semi-oval, fly over, multi-level track) and various corner types. All mentioned results in a greater client’s experience and satisfaction which is reflected in the customer return rate.
5. I would like to run 10 go-karts per heat. What is the track length required?
  To ensure a high level of safety 360K suggests a track length between 250 and 300 linear meters (820 and 985 linear feet).
