You're probably familiar with regular karting, with karts racing around a circuit of tyres through tight corners. But what about karting on ice? Ice karting is a unique activity where the focus is on agility, good steering skills and timing! Do you know how to take the corners correctly and have you mastered drifting in no time? Then you have a great chance of crossing the finish line in first place!
In Rucphen (North Brabant) you'll find IceKart Rucphen, where you can go karting on ice. A unique and original activity to do in Europe. Inside a huge hall of 3,500 m² lies a gigantic ice floor. You go ice karting on this ice floor in special electric karts with studded tyres. You'll slide across the ice in these ice karts and take corners by drifting. For each drift session, you complete as many laps as possible. On average, one lap takes 50 seconds. Those who can find the right line, take corners well, and are skilled at drifting can theoretically go faster. So, everything in ice karting revolves around skill.
Ice karting is the new way to go karting, as it's much more fun than normal karting. Ice karting isn't about speed, but about agility. The person who completes a heat the fastest, and therefore can drift the best, is the winner. For that, you need the ideal drift line: applying the drift at the right moment. And you'll see, that's quite difficult! But… practice makes perfect! So come ice karting at IceKart Rucphen sometime!
