Tampa Bay Grand Prix : Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

First time racing? No problem. Upon arrival, you will sign up in our computer/kiosk system with basic information. Once completed, you will sign your waiver at the front desk, pick out a race package, and purchase an annual racing license. When your race is ready, you will be called into the pit and attend a safety and instructional briefing. After putting on a helmet and head sock, you will be assigned a kart number and race will begin shortly after.

How much is it to race?

$16 for 16 laps which is 1 race, or $39 for three 16 lap races. There is a $5 annual membership required per person. Juniors are $12 for 12 laps or $29 for three 12 lap races.

What is the racing license for?

The racing license is a required membership that gives customers access to both facilities for one year, access to racing, use of helmets and head socks, and a monthly Tampa Bay Grand Prix newsletter.
