Autobahn Indoor Speedway - Palisades, West Nyack

On the Autobahn in Germany, you'll find some of the most challenging (and rewarding) driving available to private citizens anywhere in the world. A portion of that design prowess made its way across the ocean, where it now rests at Autobahn Indoor Speedway. Here, go kart drivers test the limits of their racing abilities on a course modeled after some of the European greats. Read on to learn more:

• The Karts: The vehicles at Autobahn aren't your typical dinky fun center rides. Inspired by the karts used by young drivers on the Formula 1 ladder system, these pro-grade karts can reach speeds of up to 50mph. Youngsters, take heart: the track also maintains a fleet of junior karts.
• The Course: Boasting more than a dozen turns spread across a serpentine layout, the course at Autobahn draws inspiration from the world-class road courses of Europe and the Americas. It's even named after one: around here, everyone knows the course as Le Mans.
• The Tips: While every driver has their own preferences, the team at Autobahn offers two tips for successful racing: accelerate smoothly, and slow down to enter turns before speeding up to exit.
