Read up on the history of cars and bikes as you stroll around the centre.

Go Karts and simulators on offer or perhaps you’re more interested in the history of motorsports. If this sounds like you then a guided circuit walking tour or circuit viewing and history may be your thing. There is something for all motorsport enthusiasts to enjoy.

Phillip Island Go Karts

If you’re going to give Go Karts a go, what a great place to endure the excitement and get your heart racing as you speed around the 750m Go Kart Track. The race track is a replica of the approximately 4.5km famous Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Sessions are in 10 min blocks.

Whilst we didn’t have a go on the Go Karts it was mighty tempting. With the day rapidly disappearing time was not on our side this visit. Another great excuse to return to this breathtaking island.
