Awesome time down at E-volt racing for the FireFighters race-off (Matakana vs Warkworth) the staff where great, very professional and clear going over the safety for the pre and during racing. the course is so much fun and you can push the karts pretty hard if your confident at driving and we did push them hardπ. Would definitely recommend checking these guys out.
π Family Action Verdict
The DRS button turns a standard lap into a tactical moment even for first-timers β reviewers who have never karted before describe it as immediately addictive, and groups return for team events.

βHad an amazing time for my 1st time go carting. Great team building event and its now going to become a regular event. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Go carts felt really safe, even when things got a little competitive π. Highly recommend π and definitely will be back.β

βGreat track and set up! The guys running the place were very friendly! Never experienced electric karts before and found them just as quick. Loved the DRS style button on the steering wheel which gives you a boost on the straight. Sorry about the popped tyre πβ

βHad a really fun time at EβVolt Racing Matakana. The electric go-karts are awesome and the whole setup feels modern and well run. The staff were amazing β super friendly, welcoming, and great at explaining everything clearly. While youβre waiting, there are some cool little games to play like a golf wedge game and a cornhole setup, which is a nice touch and keeps things entertaining. The track itself is a lot of fun. The boost button on the straight adds a great adrenaline hit, and the over-bridge and under-bridge sections are a cool feature you donβt usually see on kart tracks. The only downside is that the track is fairly small, and there are some no-overtaking zones (like on the bridge), which can make it a bit less competitive if you get stuck behind someone. That said, itβs clearly designed with safety in mind and still delivers plenty of fun. Overall, itβs a great, safe track for a relaxed but exciting session with friends or family. Plenty of on-site parking as well. Would definitely come backβ
