Our tips for your karting session
For the best possible experience on the tarmac at Grimaud Karting Loisir, prepare yourself well before the first bend with our logistical tips!
Opt for thin soles
Wear closed-toe sneakers with thin, flat soles (such as Converse or driving shoes) to help you feel the pressure on the pedals and control your braking precisely.
Choose tight-fitting clothes
Don’t wear hoodies or loose-fitting clothes that flutter in the wind, as they create aerodynamic drag and can get in the way of the belt or seat.
Manage the “perspiration factor
Even as a leisure activity, karting is physical. Make sure you bring a spare T-shirt and a small bottle of water, as the effort combined with the heat of the engine and the Grimaud asphalt quickly dehydrates you.
Protect your hands
If you have sensitive skin, thin cycling or gardening gloves can prevent blisters caused by vibration and repeated rubbing of the steering wheel for 10 or 20 minutes.
Tie up anything that sticks out
Make sure you don’t have any drawstrings (shorts or sweatshirts) hanging down, and if you have long hair, tie it up very low so that it doesn’t interfere with the helmet.
Empty your pockets
The lateral forces in the bends on the Grimaud tracks are surprising. A phone or keys in a pocket can become painful against the bucket or simply slide under the pedals.
Grimaud’s go-karting track is just waiting to vibrate under your feet, with laughter and shared exploits. Once the adrenalin has subsided, the softness of our 4-star campsite envelops you for peaceful nights and unforgettable memories. So, are you ready for this experience?
