Fun karting or corporate karting can be dangerous and strict safety rules are applied, it is for this reason we have been successful over the past 2 x years without any serious injury other than a few minor burns, scratches and only bruised egos. Entry to the Algoa Kart Club premises whether participating or as a spectator including minors or competing in any event; Algoa Kart & M/Cycle Club and F1 Outdoor Karting indemnifies themselves against any form of injury, public liability claim, costs of medical or ambulance services. The onus is also on the participant or spectator to report to documentation on arrival and not wonder around the circuit or its facilities.

For us to maintain the safety standards required we have rules and regulations that are strictly enforced.
