Everything people message us to ask.
Grouped, answered properly, and kept short. If your question isn't here, message us and we'll add it.
Booking & queuing
Can I book a slot online?
No. We don't take online bookings, and we don't plan to. Entry to the track
is through a military checkpoint that can take 10–15 minutes at peak hours —
so a slot bought online is a slot you might miss through no fault of your
own. Instead: turn up, register at the desk, and go out in the next free
session.
How long will I have to wait?
On a weekday afternoon, usually not at all. On a Friday or Saturday evening
between 7 PM and 11 PM, expect a wait. After midnight it clears up again.
The timings page breaks it down properly.
Can I call ahead to check how busy it is?
Yes, and you should if you're driving a long way. Our desk is reachable
11 AM – 11 PM by phone or WhatsApp.
We'll tell you honestly how long the queue is.
Do you hold slots for anyone?
Only for corporate bookings and race nights, where the whole track is
blocked for a fixed window. Everything else is first-come, first-served.
Members get priority placement in the walk-in queue, but not a reserved time.
Prices & payment
How much is one ride?
A single 15-minute timed session on an adult kart, with all safety gear
included. Junior rides are cheaper, and multi-ride packs bring the per-ride
price down further. The full list is on the
pricing page.
How long is a ride?
15 minutes on track, timed. Add roughly 15 minutes on top for registration,
gear and — on your first visit — the safety briefing.
Do you take cards?
Yes, cash and card are both accepted at the desk. We don't take payment
through this website at all — if a page anywhere asks you to pay Omni
Karting online, it isn't us.
Do spectators pay?
No. Bring whoever you like. There's a viewing deck over the circuit and a
café, both free to use.
Kids & juniors
How old does my child need to be?
Junior karts run for younger drivers who meet our height and age rule —
the deciding factor is whether they can comfortably reach the pedals and
hold the wheel. Confirm the current limits with the desk before your first
visit, or message us and we'll check against your child's height.
Can my child ride with me in the same kart?
No. One driver per kart, without exception. There are no two-seat karts on
this circuit.
Does a parent need to be present?
Yes. Anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian on site to sign the waiver.
A signed note sent along with a friend's family isn't enough.
Do you do birthday parties?
Plenty of families just walk in as a group and use the café area afterwards.
For a larger, organised party where you want the track to yourselves,
that's handled as a group booking.
Safety & what to wear
What do I need to wear?
Closed shoes — this is compulsory and we can't make an exception for
sandals or slippers. Otherwise, anything you can move in. Long hair must be
tied back and tucked in, and loose scarves, dupattas and jewellery come off
before you get in the kart.
Is safety gear provided?
Yes. Helmet, balaclava and race suit come with every ride at no extra cost.
Members can keep their own gear in an on-site locker.
I've never driven a kart. Is that a problem?
Not at all — most people on track on any given evening are first-timers.
You get a full safety briefing before your first run covering the flags,
the limits and what to do if you spin. Marshals watch every session.
Is there anyone who shouldn't race?
Karting is physical. We ask pregnant drivers, and anyone with a back, neck
or heart condition, not to race. Nobody under the influence of alcohol or
drugs goes on track, ever.
What happens if I spin or stall?
Stay in the kart, keep your hands and feet inside it, and wait. A marshal
will reach you and get you going again. Getting out on a live track is the
single most dangerous thing you can do.
Getting here
Where exactly are you?
Inside PAF Base Faisal, off Shahrah-e-Faisal in Karachi. Full directions and
gate instructions are on the find us page.
Do I need ID to get in?
Yes. Every adult in the vehicle needs a CNIC or photo ID at the base
checkpoint. This isn't our rule and we can't waive it.
Google Maps sent me to a gate that won't let me in. Now what?
It happens. Message us your location pin on WhatsApp and we'll point you to
the visitor entrance. Don't argue with the guard — call us instead, it's
faster.
Can I come by rickshaw or ride-hailing?
Getting to the base is easy enough; getting a ride back late at night from
inside can be harder. If you're staying past midnight, plan your ride home
before you arrive.
Is there parking?
Yes, on site and free.
Groups, corporate & events
What counts as a corporate booking?
Anything at 60 rides or more. That's a minimum on rides, not on people — a
team of 30 taking two rides each qualifies. Details on the
corporate page.
Why do we have to arrive 30 minutes early?
Because the gate, registration, gear and the group briefing all take time,
and none of it can happen inside your track window. Your booked window is
track time, and it ends when it ends — the public queue is waiting on the
other side of it.
Can we get the whole track to ourselves?
Yes — that's exactly what a corporate booking buys. For the length of your
window, the circuit is closed to walk-in racers.
Do you host races and festivals?
Several times a year — championship rounds, junior series races and larger
motorsport festivals. See events, and register
interest so we can tell you when entries open.
Can we bring our own food, or arrange catering?
There's a café on site. For corporate days and events, catering can be
arranged as an add-on — mention it when you enquire.
Membership
Is membership worth it?
If you race more than once a month, the discounted ride rate alone covers
it. If you race weekly, it isn't close. Compare the tiers on the
membership page.
Does membership let me book a time?
No. It gives you priority placement in the walk-in queue, not a reserved
slot. We don't hold time slots outside corporate windows and race nights.
What is the member portal?
A page where your session history, best laps, ride balance and leaderboard
position live. There's a working demo you can
click through.
