If you last went karting in Hong Kong a couple of years ago, the venue you're picturing has probably closed. 18 Challenge Karting, the city's only proper indoor circuit, is gone — and the racing landscape here in 2026 looks quite different from what most "best go-karting" lists still say.

What happened to 18 Challenge Karting?
18 Challenge Karting, the 50,000-square-foot indoor circuit at Oi Man Plaza in Ho Man Tin, has closed. It was, for years, the answer to "where can I go karting in Hong Kong" — two linked tracks with a combined 18 corners, an E-Kart circuit and a slower Crazy Kart circuit for younger racers, plus a themed café and party rooms. Its own booking listings on Klook and FunNow now show the venue as unavailable, and Hong Kong media have reported on the closure directly.
Its sister venue, Devil Karting, has referenced the closure in its own marketing as it repositions around an outdoor track in Yuen Long — suggesting the same operator is consolidating around outdoor racing rather than running an indoor circuit. Hong Kong Economic Times reported that commenters see the shift toward racing across the border in mainland China, where large outdoor circuits are cheaper and more plentiful, as a factor squeezing standalone indoor venues here.
Devil Karting: now members-only
Devil Karting runs an outdoor track in Yuen Long, operated in partnership with local venue One Factory (壷局). It's the closest thing Hong Kong has to a serious racing setup left standing — but access has changed. The operator has shifted to a private-club, membership-based model, with booking required in advance and no walk-in racing. Enquiries currently go through the operator's WhatsApp and social channels (Instagram and Threads: @devilkarting_hk) rather than a walk-up counter.
If you're a regular racer rather than a one-off visitor, it's worth reaching out directly to ask about membership terms, since public pricing wasn't published at the time of writing.
PowerPlay Arena: drift carts in Lai Chi Kok
For casual, no-commitment racing, PowerPlay Arena at D2 Place TWO in Lai Chi Kok is the most accessible option standing. Its "Crazy Cart" experience is an indoor drift-cart track rather than a full racing circuit — shorter, slower and built more for fun drifting than lap-time competition — but it's walk-in-friendly and sits inside a bigger indoor games arena with electronic game zones and party rooms, so it works well for a family outing or a group session that mixes racing with other games.

XVENTURE: a go-kart track inside a bigger park
Over in Quarry Bay, XVENTURE at Kornhill Plaza South packs a compact go-kart track for drifting and tight cornering into its wider 20,000-square-foot indoor sportainment park, alongside a steep slide, a ninja course, rock climbing and a zip line. It's not a dedicated racing venue — no licence or racing experience is expected — but if you want a taste of karting as part of a bigger day out rather than the main event, it's the most complete all-rounder on this list. See our full guide to XVENTURE for the rest of what's inside.
