K1 Circuit Acquires Whiteland Raceway Park



K1 Circuit, renowned as a leading operator of outdoor karting venues, has made headlines with its recent acquisition of Whiteland Raceway Park in Indiana. This historic site, established in 1958, proudly holds the title of being the oldest continuously operating go-kart track in the United States. The acquisition signifies K1 Circuit's commitment to expanding its footprint in the karting industry, following the successful launch of its Winchester location in Southern California just last year.

Located just 19 miles from downtown Indianapolis and a mere 25 miles away from the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Whiteland Raceway Park has become a cherished destination for karting enthusiasts and families alike in the Hoosier state. David Danglard, the CEO and founder of K1 Circuit, expressed pride in taking over this iconic venue. He highlighted the rich history of the track, which began only two years after the go-kart was invented.

K1 Circuit aims to preserve the legacy of Whiteland Raceway Park while also infusing new energy and innovation into the venue. Danglard stated, "Our investment and expertise will help this historic track thrive, ensuring a bright future while supporting the continuous growth of the karting community in the Midwest."

K1 Circuit Whiteland is set to operate seven days a week, featuring a variety of karting experiences designed to cater to both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts. The facility will offer:
  • - Open Practice: For kart owners looking to hone their skills.
  • - Arrive and Drive: A rental kart experience featuring a fleet of high-performance go-karts, making it easy for visitors to hit the track without prior ownership.
  • - Competitive Leagues: For those looking to test their mettle against other karting aficionados.
  • - Group Events: Perfect for parties or corporate outings.

Moreover, the facility will include services such as kart storage for owners, a VIP Suite for spectators, and a soon-to-be-launching Paddock Lounge that will offer food and beverages. K1 Circuit Whiteland also plans to host a series of karting competitions throughout the year. Notable events include the Indy Karting Challenge, the Route 66 Sprint Series, and Cup Karts North America, among others.

The venue's hours are accommodating, with open practice for kart owners available from Tuesday to Sunday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Additionally, rental karting or 'Arrive-and-Drive' sessions will be accessible every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., excluding special race events.

For karting enthusiasts eager to experience one of the most iconic tracks in America, K1 Circuit Whiteland offers an accessible, family-friendly environment that caters to all skill levels. To plan your visit or get more information, you can check their official website at k1circuit.com/whiteland.
