We’ve got go karts on the mind, so we went and found the biggest and the best in town.

Supa Karts are not little fairground bumper karts. These are first-rate engineered machines built for speed and safety. Hitting 35 kilometres per hour, Supa Karts’ grunty adult karts are the fastest in New Zealand, so these are just for the big kids. Options for the younger ones include the junior karts and tandem karts.

Throwing a party, end-of-year event or corporate do at Supa Karts is throwing away the expectations of how adults should behave at such affairs. It’s an endorsement of the wild side, an acceptance that your crew want something a little different from a backyard barbecue. You can book in a family race or high-speed adult races, or step things up a notch with a grand prix or team endurance race.

In the grand prix, each driver gets a run in their kart to set the best time. Fastest qualifier starts first in the group race. Team endurance races of up to 48 drivers will test your driving skills and your teamwork as each driver takes two ten-minute stints behind the wheel in a team relay. It’s the closest you’ll get to F1 action at your birthday bash and the best way to work out office rivalries without resorting to pass-ag emailing.
