In a statement, developer Tamdeen Group said that the Q8 Karting track simulates a professional racing experience and is designed to be suitable for different age groups. Visitors will be provided with helmets, suits and all necessary safety instructions for a safe and exciting race experience, the developer added.
A two-level rooftop location spread across 5,380sqm, Q8 Karting will be located on the 10th floor of Al Kout Mall, with a dedicated entrance from a shop inside the mall. It will also be accessible through different elevators from all levels of the indoor parking area.
