History and Location

The hall was used by loudspeaker manufacturer Magnat until 1995, after which it was converted into a karting track. Shortly after opening, Cologne's first 24-hour race was held here. In 2018, a photovoltaic system was added, supplying the centre with electricity and offering an EV charging point for guests. In 2019, an outdoor "Chill Zone" was completed as a summer area.

Driving Requirements

A minimum height of 1.45 m is required for the adult karts; the junior kart is available from approximately 1.35 m. According to the operator, drivers of up to 2.05 m have already taken to the track – all figures are guidelines, as body proportions also play a role. There is no requirement to wear a racing suit; sturdy footwear and close-fitting clothing are recommended.

Group and Corporate Packages

Group races and corporate events can be booked from 6 people onwards, each including exclusive use of the track and a full race programme. The schedule can be tailored to your needs, and a buffet can be added on request. For corporate events, a seminar room and branding options are also available. Solo drivers without a prior booking can take part in open ticket sessions: drivers rotate every ten minutes, with a results printout issued every ten minutes.
