Come and Race it at COTA KARTING

Guests can save time at check-in by preregistering online at https://bookings.clubspeed.com/cota/cotaaustin.

All racers must bring a form of Photo-ID, and will need to wear or bring closed-toe shoes before racing (Slippers and high heels are also non-permissible). We do not offer any for sale or rent on-site. Guests with long hair should be prepared to either tie up or tuck in their hair for safety.

Absolutely! COTA Karting caters to all experience levels from novice to expert. Our World Championship team is welcome to assist you with the knowledge needed to enjoy your experience; whether you want to know the perfect racing line, or just need a helping hand understanding how to drive the kart, our team will ensure you’re ready to race!

We do! Double karts are available on a first come, first serve basis; simply book into an Adult Race and request these karts upon check-in. Double karts must be driven by someone at least 16 years old and 58” tall. The passenger in the double kart must be at least 48” tall.

• All heats are 10 minutes long; best lap time wins.
• The number of laps completed in a single heat is completely up to the driver.

• Our drivers are measured by fastest lap time completed in the heat, not by position.
• Times are displayed digitally around the track both during and after each race; results are emailed to the email address on your COTA Karting race account.

• Closed-toe shoes are required. Slippers and high heels are also prohibited.
• No loose clothing (scarves, ponchos, over-sized garments)
• Long hair should be tied and pulled back or tucked into shirt.

Outside food and beverages are not permitted on the Karting premises. If you would like to inquire about food and beverage requests, please contact us at [email protected]

A parent or authorized guardian waiver must be signed before any participants under the age of 18 are permitted to race.

All Karts are governed for your safety. On the first lap (the ‘Warm Up’ lap) and the last lap (the ‘Cool Down’ lap), as well as when an incident occurs on track (around you or not) staff will govern the speeds of the karts to ensure the incident has been cleared/corrected before karts return to maximum speed and the race can continue.

For your safety as well as the safety of others on track, all drivers must be able to grab the steering wheel with both hands, and press the gas pedal fully with their right leg and brake pedal fully with their left leg, respectively.

All drivers are subject to the maximum weight requirement of 275 lbs, as well as needing to fit safely and comfortably in the kart with the restraints fully secured. For drivers of unique proportions who may be unsure if they meet all requirements to fit safely, we have additional options available and are always happy to assist with ‘test fitting’ in the Karts before purchase.

Drivers with pre-existing health conditions such as neck or back problems, physical limitations, conditioning deficiencies, heart conditions, and anyone who is pregnant or ailing, are not permitted to drive. You should only drive to your limitations and with the understanding that you should stop your participation immediately if you have any concerns before or while on track.

The Soaring Eagle Zipline is a ski-lift style Zipline that soars you to 180ft above the ground on the Turn 1 hillside, giving you an unparalleled view of the front stretch of COTA all the way to Downtown Austin!

Riders of Zipline must be 48 inches or taller (42 inches or taller if accompanied with an adult). A maximum weight per rider of 300 lbs is enforced, and the combined/gross weight of two riders may not exceed 450lbs.

Zipline can be purchased individually for $10/person, or for just $5/person if combined with the purchase of a Karting race!
