Carting is
becoming more and more popular in Goa and in recent years it became a very
fashionable hobby. The state has only two equipped tracks for carting — one in
North Goa and one in South Goa.
The best and the largest carting
track in all of India is located in Nuvem town, in Salcette Taluk (Salcette
region), a little bit north from the city of Margao on a national NH17 Highway.
Go-Karting
Track in Nuvem town is
situated on a hill in the northeast part of the town. If you are driving from
the south, turn right after the hospital which is impossible to miss, and if
you are driving from the north than turn left after you pass Padre Conceição
College of Engineering.
The length
of Go-Karting Track in Nuvem is 482 meters. There are lots of turns of
different levels of complexity, among which skilled fans of this type of sport
and fun entertainment can take very steep and difficult tracks to overcome. The
average speed here is 70 kilometers per hour; the ring is of A1 class. The
construction is the masterpiece work of Swedish and German engineers. A giant
bulletin board displays the racing statistics. Regular national championships
in carting are conducted here, at Go-Karting Track in Nuvem town.
North Goa
Carting Track is located
in Arpora town, near Ingo Night Market. This track is half shorter than
Go-Karting Track in Nuvem and has fewer turns.
The
thrill of getting behind the wheel of a four-wheel drive, even if it is just a
go-kart cannot be explained. The squealing tyres, burnt rubber and the sheer
rush of adrenaline can be invigorating for the true motor racing enthusiast.
Go-karting is the latest craze in Goa. Young and old alike relish this sport, which lets you race around in two or four stroke engine karts. It combines the thrill of fast vehicles with sharp turns and collisions.
Go-Karting requires no special training beforehand, contrary to the fears of most people, it is quite safe and enjoyable. Everyone is welcome to have a go at go-karting and try their hand at maneuvering their way thorough a few winding laps of unmitigated fun.
The venue at Nuvem on the Panaji-Margao Highway has successfully hosted three go-karting events at this venue since inauguration in 2001, which also included the JK Tyre national karting championships.
Participants in various age-groups from all over Goa, including a few foreigners and some ladies, from countries like England, Germany and Ireland have tried their luck.

The Go-Karts are powered by Honda engines. They reach a fairly good speed around the track. The karts driver sits only a few inches above the ground. Go-karts are non-geared and quickly mastered, nevertheless a lot of forethought goes into ensuring absolute safety for the driver.
The safety features include a solid reinforced protective frame; tracks built for excellent traction lined with tyre walls and a guardrail as precautions. Each driver has to compulsorily wear a helmet, loose clothing is discouraged.
The venue is already popular with Goan kids and teenagers who are fast getting obsessed with this unique sport. If you want the thrills without the 'spills', then Go-karting is the place to be.
All these factors make this hot spot the ideal getaway for a relaxing day out with family and friends.
