All-Electric K1 Speed Karting Experience Takes Over Shopping Centre
In a thrilling fusion of retail and recreation, Ontario’s newest go-kart track in Cambridge has turbocharged the experience for adrenaline junkies and mall-goers alike. Nestled within the bustling confines of the Cambridge Centre Mall, this high-octane attraction promises riders a heart-pounding journey through the labyrinthine corridors, boasting speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour.
Unveiled to the public on March 15, this cutting-edge go-kart track marks a collaboration between K1 Speed Canada and Bingemans Hospitality, injecting a fresh surge of excitement into the Waterloo region’s entertainment scene. Daniel Zychlinski, President of K1 Speed Canada, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “With our cutting-edge go-karts, exhilarating track, and customized events, we’re excited to establish ourselves as the premier hub for adrenaline enthusiasts in the Waterloo Region.”
Karting. Food. Entertainment.
The track features a fleet of all-electric, low-noise, and emission-free go-karts, embodying a commitment to sustainability while delivering an electrifying experience. Riders, both young and old, can unleash the full throttle of 20-horsepower karts, reaching speeds of up to 45 km/h for adults and 30 km/h for children. The track layout, strategically integrated alongside mall shops, injects kinetic energy into the retail landscape as karts navigate twists, turns, and even a bridge section.
For comparison, the renowned Niagara Speedway in Niagara Falls’s Clifton Hill area offers speeds of up to 32 km/h, making the K1 Cambridge experience a full 13 km/h faster. Moreover, K1 Speed Cambridge elevates the experience with a second-floor mezzanine, providing panoramic views of the electrifying racing action below. Adding to the allure, visitors can indulge in food and beverage options at the Paddock Lounge, K1’s own restaurant, and recharge with arcade games between races.
Strategically positioned within the mall, this new attraction complements the adjacent Kingpin Cambridge entertainment venue, offering an array of recreational activities. Other offerings include bowling, axe throwing, laser tag, and arcade games. Mark Bingeman, President at Bingemans, anticipates a boom for regional tourism, stating, “As the Waterloo Region blossoms with new attractions on the tourism front, it transforms into a must-visit destination. We are thrilled to reintroduce elite kart racing to the region, adding to its allure and excitement.”
In summary, Ontario’s latest go-kart sensation not only promises an adrenaline-fueled adventure but also reshapes the landscape of leisure within the Waterloo region.
