Go Karting

Had a great round of Karting today at Grips Bangalore with my friend. What a way to finish the day.For benefit of all. Grips is @ Mysore Road, Bangalore

.……Directions will be like this…..

Start from Electronics City -> Take the NICE Road -> Reach Bannerghatta Road -> Take the NICE Road again till Mysore Road -> As you enter the Mysore Road take a left turn and find the Raja Rajarajeshwari Hospital ….The find the Grips board and the demo cart on display.

Charges

12 BHP Carts @Rs. 150 for 6 Laps

16 BHP Carts @Rs. 175 for 6 laps.

18 BHP Carts @ Rs. 200 for 6 laps

My Feedback : The carts are good specially the high power ones. The 12 BHP one you can drive through the whole track without lifting your foot off the accelerator. So as you can guess the Track difficulty level is Begineer. But has plenty of overtaking places, so outing with friends will be really fun. There are some places of the track where the road ahead literally gets invisible due to the elevation of the road. Some will like it(me too liked it), but I guess it was a technical snag on the part of construction. And finally value for money part. I know Go Karting is never a value oriented sports, but still I felt the price is on a very higher side. The amount they are charging for just 6 Laps is way too much. I guess 8-10 Laps for the same price would had been decent. So, it is not at all a value for money proposition.

Pros :

+ Carts are good

+ Fairly even race track

+ High Speed Corners

+ Low rush even on weekends

Cons :

- Track Difficulty is on lower side

- Uneven elevation

- High price

Overall Rating – *** (3/5)

Try out with your friends and you will not feel bad bout it.
