Distrakart Saint-Paulien: outdoor karting, prices

Our take

Outdoor karting makes a change from indoor karting: space, fresh air and a proper race format with qualifying and a final when you come as a group. At these prices, it's a solid outing for a teenager's birthday or an afternoon with friends.

An outdoor karting circuit at Saint-Paulien, north of Le Puy-en-Velay: sessions of 10 to 30 minutes, solo or in a group with a final.

Distrakart is an outdoor karting circuit at Le Versonne, on the northern edge of Saint-Paulien. You take a session of 10, 20 or 30 minutes and string laps together at your own pace. The karts suit adults and teenagers alike (driving from age 12), and the circuit also welcomes people with disabilities. For groups (from 10 people), you get the track to yourselves: free practice, qualifying round, small final and grand final, like a real race weekend. For those who aren't driving, there is a lounge bar and a terrace overlooking the track. A 90 m² room is used for birthdays, stag and hen parties and seminars, with team endurance formats of up to three hours.
