Rotax test day and kart track day in Italy: a complete guide for drivers from abroad
In short: looking for a Rotax test day or a kart track day in Italy? If you race or train in karting and want to drive in Italy without bringing your own kart, TKS RaceLab prepares everything for you at the track: a 2026 Maranello chassis with a Rotax Junior MAX EVO, Senior MAX EVO or DD2 engine, Alfano 7 telemetry and a technician dedicated to you for the whole day. A full day costs €650 with Junior MAX EVO or Senior MAX EVO and €750 with DD2 (prices with VAT). You only bring your personal gear.
What is a Rotax test day with TKS RaceLab?
Our Arrive & Drive day is a private Rotax test day and track day with a real race kart, not a group session with leisure karts. We work with a maximum of 3 drivers per day, one per kart. The technician prepares the kart around you, checks setup and tyre pressures before every session, and reviews your telemetry with you between sessions. Whether you call it a Rotax test, a kart test day, a track day or private kart testing with a mechanic, this is what we do.
What you find at the track
2026 Maranello chassis with Rotax Junior MAX EVO, Senior MAX EVO (125 cc, 30 hp, direct drive) or DD2 EVO (125 cc, 34 hp, two-speed gearbox).
Alfano 7 telemetry: lap times, sector times and engine data.
A dedicated technician for the whole day, with driving feedback session after session.
Fuel and lubricants, tyres in good condition (new MOJO D5 tyres on request, at an agreed price).
Action cam video of your sessions.
A gazebo with chairs, water and coffee for you and whoever comes with you.
Who it is for
For drivers who already have some karting experience. You don't need to be a professional, but you need to know what a kart is and have already driven on track. It suits drivers who already race in their own country and want to measure themselves on European tracks without shipping a kart, drivers coming back to karting, and drivers coming from car track days or sim racing. Not sure about your level? Write to us anyway and we will work it out together.
When to come
Italian international tracks run most of the year, and dates always depend on each circuit's official calendar. This makes Italy a good place to keep training when your home season is stopped. For example, the Rotax season in the Gulf runs from autumn to spring, so drivers from the region are free in summer. Whatever your home calendar, tell us your travel dates and we check them against the circuits' calendars.
Where you drive
All four tracks are international circuits in northern Italy, between Milan and Lake Garda, homologated by ACI Sport.
South Garda Karting, Lonato (Brescia): 1,200 m. Nearest airports: Verona, Milan Bergamo.
Franciacorta Karting Track, Castrezzato (Brescia): 1,300 m. Nearest airports: Milan Bergamo, Verona.
Cremona Kart Circuit: 1,224 m. Nearest airports: Milan Linate, Milan Bergamo.
Ala Karting Circuit (Trento): over 1,110 m. Nearest airport: Verona.
On request we can also arrange full days at the 7 Laghi International Circuit (Pavia), with a minimum of two drivers. See what each of the four tracks is like.
How many days?
One day is enough to try a race kart and get real feedback. Two or three days in a row let you apply the technician's advice and see your progress in the lap times. You can also drive on different tracks during the same trip.
How booking works
Write to us on WhatsApp (+39 352 0280 133) or by email (info@tksracelab.com) with your dates, preferred circuit and experience.
We check the dates on the circuits' official calendars and propose circuit and engine.
You secure your dates with a €150 deposit, deducted from the final price. One deposit covers one block of dates.
If you cancel at least 48 hours before, the deposit stays valid for a new date. Later cancellations or no-shows lose the deposit.
If it rains, we don't run the day: we move it to another date at no extra cost. Book flexible flights and hotel.
At the track, before driving, you leave a €500 security deposit (cash, returned at the end of the day, or a credit card pre-authorisation). Any damage is settled according to our spare parts price list.
Write to us at least one week before your trip: places per day are limited.
What to bring
Homologated karting helmet, karting suit, gloves, karting boots and rib protector. Drivers under 18 need the signature of a parent or guardian on the waiver.
Language
At the track we speak Italian and enough English to work together on your kart and your driving. Before you travel, we plan everything in writing on WhatsApp or by email.
