Chase the checkered flag all the way to the studio!
What could be more fun than a Battle of the Bands® on a raceway? Nothing – that’s why we’ve persuaded the folks over at Grand Prix Kartways to let us take over their venue!
Indie music will rule the race course as bands from all across the GTA compete in several Battle of the Bands® shows. Show winners get 8 hours of recording studio time and each band member gets a Kartway Race Pack (details below).
Fans that purchase advance tickets to any of the shows get a free membership with their tickets. This membership waives the additional $10 fee charged to race at GPK. You get a hard plastic encoded membership card for quicker registration and your own personal balaclava (the knit cap worn underneath helmets) to wear under the helmets GPK provides. The balaclava is yours to keep and bring back with each visit.
This is your source for all the junk you need to know about these exclusive shows, so read on if you think you’ve got the speed to chase the checkered flag all the way to the studio.

About Grand Prix Kartways
From the moment you arrive at Grand Prix Kartways, you will be made to feel as though you are participating in a real race, with a driver’s VIP pass, or a spectator ticket. Drivers will be given a racing balaclava to wear under the helmets provided. Although the balaclavas are required for hygienic purposes, it is an example of the uniqueness of the GPK experience. To complete the thrill, racing uniforms and gloves are available for rental or purchase, and every driver will be presented with a comprehensive diagnostic of the race results.
GPK provides the highest quality state-of-the-art electric go-karts for its racers. Not only are these race team stylized go-karts fast, they are safe, and environmentally friendly with no noxious fumes. Two types of Go-Karts will be used, both of which will be electrically charged.
Facility Features
The Pit Zone Café
Offers a variety of fast foods, snacks, and beverages, perfect to fill the void and keep you ready to race. The track-side bistro-style tables will give you a view of the pit lanes, and of the fastest sweeping turn on the course, the Catapult, which envelopes the Rotonda and its featured water fountain.
The Speed Zone Lounge
Provides a 78’ glass enclosed track level view of the straightaway, where racers will hit peak speeds from the sling shot of the Catapult turn. The luxury seating and fully serviced bar, promise a comfortable break from the spirited racing.
Merchandise Store
From race mementos, rare model cars, to your very own race jacket, helmet & suit, you will find a variety of delights.
Entertainment Zone
This arcade zone features the latest race games, billiards, foozeball, air hockey, and slot car racing for plenty of enjoyment in between on-track heats, and also offers weekly contests to pit you against the best of the best.
