Went to Ace Motorsport for the first time in 12 months and it was a great experience. All the staff were very helpful and the track staff were willing to assist if we thought there was a problem with our karts. The track layout has a few Great experience, helpful staff, can't wait to race this track again! challenging corners, but nothing beginners would struggle with.

Had a fantastic time here! The course is much bigger than others in Auckland, especially because it's outside. You can really get some speed up! Staff were wonderful and made us free very welcome. Will definitely be letting more people know about this place. Also has a lovely place across the car park for food and drinks after.

Took my team out for an end of year work do. We booked the ACE Grand Prix and had the best time. Everyone can’t stop talking about it today! Staff were cool with us, cool surrounding facilities, carts were fast. For a bunch of mechanics this was the perfect EOY event!

Went with some family for a holiday rip around the track. I've never known staff to be so friendly and accommodating before! Despite needing to reschedule several times the staff were immensely chill and happy to help! They even lent me one of their gokart helmets so that I could take my bros motorbike for spin up the street, just because they could see the smile on my face!!! 11/10, I will be coming back next time I'm in Auckland. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Myself and a group of mates do an annual hire kart race which is all fun and games with a lot of bragging rights on the line. We have raced at all of the indoor tracks in Auckland, Hampton Downs and Rotorua multiple times. The general feeling after this years race was that ACE was the best so far. Really well run by the team. Karts go well and the track is fun with plenty of overtaking spots. Highly recommended.

Came in with our baby and the team were very accommodating allowing us to stagger our racers so my wife and I could rotate between who looked after our child. Also loads of fun!!

unsafe track, ambivalent staff. do not go here. no real barriers just loose tires. when another racer deliberately pushed me off the track into the tires, the tires went flying and hit me. after the race the other driver admitted to purposely running me into the “barrier”. when I brought it up to the staff they said none of the marshals saw anything and wouldnt remove the unsafe driver. so i left. two stars b/c staff were generally nice folks, just not very concerned about the safety of their customers.

Wendy and her team were great. We booked for four people to go-cart for my son's birthday. We weren't rushed at all and they were very friendly and professional. We liked that the track and go-carts felt more age appropriate (my son is 16). With small breaks in between the 3, 10 minute sessions we had booked, we spent about an hour there in total. I would definitely recommend.

My sons cart in his second race was giving issues from the start and eventually stopped completely. The gave him a new car but he could only do have the laps he did in his first race. When asked if they are going to give him a new race or complementary i was told a minute was added to his time. Not acceptable, you pay a lot of money for this. Very strange that everyone else did the same amount of laps even with a minute added... honestly not happy with how this was handled....

Fantastic! Amazing day for the adult, teen and preteen! Excellent service, fun track and best off all they run rain or shine. Track was wet and slippery which made gor good racing - preteen chuffed with his 720 drive on and teen with his 360 drift drive on. Adult not so happy with needing assistance 😂🤣. Best to book ahead if you can- we were lucky that we called ahead and got a time spot where they could fit us in. Value for money - yes, absolutely 💯! We went with the 3 for $99 - each race thry hot more and more confident do definetely worth the extra spend. Thanks ACE Motorsport!

Great spot to get some adrenaline pumping and caters well to both a friendly event or a speed racer challenge. Only thing is if going as a large group, I would check to see who else is in the session to be aware of everyone's level.

We are visiting from out of country and love visiting different go kart tracks around the world. Steve and his son gave us the best experience that we’ve ever had! Not only did they make us feel welcome, but on my last set of laps, I was the only one out there, and they came out and showed me the best lines and improved my course time enough to get the best time of the week! Super friendly family business, I will definitely come back next time we are out this way!

Great experience! Can't rate it highly enough. It's a really nice place and the people are great. Went with a group of 12 people and did two races each over four sessions - the staff managed us safely without taking out any of the fun. We thought it would be a good time, and it was better than we expected!

I recently visited ACE Motorsport in Auckland with a few mates on a rainy day (almost torrential 😉) . Initially, we thought the weather would ruin our plans, but the ACE Motorsport team provided us with assurances and a thorough safety briefing. Despite the rain, we had an amazing time! The experience was perfect for a catch-up with friends, filled with fun and banter. I highly recommend ACE Motorsport for anyone looking to have an epic time. I can't wait to go back and try to beat my last time! 👍🔥🏎️🏁🏆

Went with my uni club, it was so fun !! It rained in the morning so we got drenched but it was so much more fun! Recommend as old towel, raincoat and a spare change of clothes including shoes :) and wearing dark coloured clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty :)

It was fun, but unfortunately had issues with the karts just stopping mid race. But they did make up for it by giving you another race.

Karting Dreams Engines roar, a thunderous sound, Rubber screeches, circling the ground. Tiny titans, hearts aflame,Karting dreams, a thrilling game. Helmets on, a determined gaze, A world of speed, a fearless phase. The starting grid, a tense affair, As drivers line up, beyond compare. The green flag waves, the race begins, A blur of color, where victory wins. Corners taken, hairpins tight, A battle for position, a furious fight. Overtaking maneuvers, bold and swift, A calculated risk, a dangerous drift. The checkered flag, a final test, A champion crowned, the very best. Beyond the track, a bond is forged, A camaraderie, forever gorged. The spirit of racing, pure and true, A lifelong passion, a dream come true.

It is a typical high-speed track with a wide racing track, so there is no need to worry about colliding with other cars. The curves are not complicated, so you can basically go full throttle, making it suitable for beginners.

This time, the kids' event was held in the parking lot, so we had to take a long detour to park. Besides that, the kart riding was truly amazing.
