6-Hour Twilight Endurance

We're bringing endurance racing to the world of electric karting! 

NEW RACE FOR 2025!

• We've proven the concept with the world's first 12-hour electric race. Now, this new event brings a mid-season 6-hour race to the calendar with the addition of our combination indoor/outdoor track.
• The event will run rain or shine. If the outdoor extension becomes excessively wet, the race will run indoors until track conditions improve.
• Limited to first 10 teams signed up
