Reviews for K1 Speed - Indoor Go Karts, Corporate Event Venue, Team Buil in Dublin, CA

Wife surprised me on our date night and brought me here. She told me the wait time might be long but she had planned the night... in case worst case had to race at midnight (god bleed this woman!) she knew my love and passion for motor sports well. Even ifwe had to wait hanging out in that ambiance was amazing. Loved all the racing pictures and paintings, racing seats, and race carparts decorating the walls. The food was ok, and there were theee or four different bday parties but they weren?t obnoxious orannoying. We paid for two races each, which is kinda pricey but what isn?t now a days.we figured we might not get both in thatnight, but the. We were told wait time was 30 min and then 15 minutes after that for the second race. We couldn?t believe it.But sure enough after 30 minutes we were called. Fitted helmets and were explained the rules and procedures. The we raced! Andwhen the first race was over we were instantly called into the next race group. The cars are fun and electric and can becontrolled by the staff. Don?t worry if they keep you from catching the driver ahead of you, it?s not a track position race,it?s a race against the clock. Cars are different to drive to get the most speed out of them, I was trying to drive like aNormal car but was going super slow, wasn?t until the third lap a guy with racing gloves whizzed pasted me in a corner and Iwatched him the next few, and that?s when I saw he never touched his brakes. So I decided to try that and had to man Handel thekart through the corners but I got a lot of speed out of the kart and finished second 1.3 seconds behind race glovesguy. Overall it was a fun and surprising experience. We got there at 3:45pm on a Saturday and left at 5 after two races ,hanging out, and watching some junior races. Only thing that kinda bothered me was the amount of range in experience per race.there?s guys that were walking in with their own race helmets, gloves, and shoes, might as well worn a fire suit to c Read more

So much fun. We came for a8 year old party (which the kids did great at) and then the parents had a race. These new electric... cars are much better than the old gas ones that were smelly and loud. It?s also much safer since they have a global kill switchto shut all the cars down in the event of a massive collision I also liked that this place let us race with as little as 3racers so we didn?t have to race with strangers. We had lots of fun and will definitely come back soon Read more

We had a blast and everyone was so nice! Even was placed in car 27 which made the day extra special. I did not request this car... it was spontaneously assigned to me ????????. We still have not received all our videos yet though but I?m sure we will. Read more

Experience was excellent here. The lobby area is full of tables made from wheels, an F1 or Indy car up front, food and beer. A... lot of fun to have a team building setup. The go-karts are all electric too so you don?t have too much noise. I do find theprice to time on the track a little lacking. From 12-15 laps, 3 sessions, about 20-22 seconds a lap, you?re out there maybe 10minutes. It?s great, a lot of fun, and the price is understandable cause of go-karts tire costs and all that Some of theirkarts are beat up, I know one I got on pulled hard to the left, which was not fun, but otherwise it was fine. If the Karts wereall up to 100% quality wise honestly I would have given it a 5 star. Just some of the Karts being beat up pushed it down a star.I get it though, these karts are used daily. 100% recommend going! They also have a juniors league for younger drivers, soalmost anyone can enjoy. Read more

[Review based off experience from 2017-Jan 19, 2020] I used to come to this K1 location an almost unhealthy amount of times to... the point of employees knowing me by name, and I was able to seek out which karts were faster based off tire wear and other wearand tear. I can honestly say going here, your experience with drastically rely on which employees are working that day, and howskilled the party you?re driving with is. Race slowdowns: a lot of the time, beginner drivers crash. And not just once, theycrash many times. When you?re trying to set a new lap record, this is unideal because they will set your maximum speed to 1mphor 0mph depending on how much they need to do to set that driver back up. Race slowdowns happen a lot, simply because if you?rea single or even a small party of 3-4 drivers, they will put your party in with other drivers. At one point I was able torequest we be put in a faster group, since times are posted online publicly, and that allowed us all to set faster times withoutlimit. I guess this may be ?insider knowledge? but I also believe they also have a highlighted user that I recall being a greenbox, in which those drivers have set exceptional times (<19s a lap), which let the staff know the highly skilled frombeginners. Which brings me to the next point: speed limits. This part is what really made me dislike coming here. Speed limitsare up to the employees discretion based solely on how they feel the drivers are doing - driving safely, without needingcaution. Many times, when new employees come - they aren?t as aware of how skilled drivers are and tend to leave the speedlimits at speed 3, instead of full speed. This drastically changes the experience, because you won?t be able to get up to speedon the after the last corner towards the finish line/corner one straight. On my last visit (2 years ago) I explained to the*new* staff on sight, that my party of 6 was slowed down to level 2 the entire time because they put a beginner Read more

Love this place. The boys had a great time. First race was just the 2 juniors but the second and third race there were 5 more... kids. Staff did a good job of putting them in the order of pace so the slower kids weren?t being pushed around by fasterdrivers. A+. Thanks Read more

I loved the experience of driving karts at K1 Speed ??- Dublin. Great leisure option, the place is safe, clean and organized.... Everything works great. I will certainly come back many times. That day I was faster than my husband lol. I love adventure andspeed. I really recommend it. Read more

The location is good but the electric carts do not perform like gas ones, you pretty much never have to brake and it's flat... except for one single turn. The track is pretty short, 20 seconds laps. The rest of the facility is great for company events,nice areas to sit, maybe the music a little too loud. The pool table - which is in a nice area post-event - is not in a goodshape. It needs a little more work and faster karts to get full stars. Read more
