Karting at Kartodromo Internacional Granja Viana

Karting at Kartodromo Internacional Granja Viana takes place on a hillside circuit in Cotia, about 25 kilometres west of Sao Paulo, known for its elevation changes and blind crests and used to host national Copa Sao Paulo de Kart competitions. Open sessions are accessible to casual drivers with no racing licence required, subject to a minimum height similar to other Brazilian kart tracks, while the venue's more than 20 configurable track layouts also support private track days for drivers with prior karting experience seeking a faster, more technical challenge. The kart, helmet and race suit are provided as part of the session; drivers need only bring closed-toe shoes. The circuit is run by Kartodromo Granja Viana (KGV), an organisation experienced in hosting competitive national karting events, and applies standard karting-circuit safety measures including marshal posts around the hillside layout, flag signalling and immediate session stoppage for any incident, given the track's blind crests and elevation changes that require extra caution from less experienced drivers. All drivers receive a safety briefing before their session covering the specific layout being used that day, overtaking etiquette and the location of run-off areas on the hillside sections. Being an outdoor circuit, it operates year-round in Sao Paulo's mild highland climate, though heavy rain reduces grip on the hillside sections and can lead to session delays or cancellations.
