Karting at Kartodromo Ayrton Senna (Interlagos)

Karting at the Kartodromo Ayrton Senna, better known as the Interlagos kart track, is a rental-kart driving activity on the 1,150-metre, 12-turn layout adjacent to Sao Paulo's Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit in the Interlagos district. Open sessions suit casual drivers and require no racing licence or prior track experience, though most Brazilian kart tracks set a minimum height around 1.40 metres for shared-kart sessions; private track days run at a faster pace and attract more experienced drivers. The session fee includes the kart, helmet and one-piece race suit; drivers need only bring closed-toe shoes and a booking confirmation, and loose clothing that could catch in kart mechanics is discouraged. The track is operated under an organisation experienced in Sao Paulo motorsport, with on-track marshals and flag officials stationed around the layout who follow standard karting-circuit safety protocols, including radio communication between marshal posts and an immediate session stoppage if a kart stalls or a driver leaves the track. Before driving, all participants receive a safety briefing covering flag signals, overtaking rules, the circuit's blind corners and elevation changes, and pit-in and pit-out procedure. As an open-air facility, the track operates year-round in Sao Paulo's mild subtropical highland climate; heavy rain sessions run with reduced grip and lower availability, and very wet days can lead to postponed sessions.
