Autobahn Indoor Speedway

These carts are really fast! They start off slow but after the first lap the throttle is wide open. Luckily the place wasn’t that crowded and we did not have to wait. The only negative is the staff. The young lady at the front desk wasn’t very friendly and the guy that gave us the safety brief was apparently tired and sleepy. He sat down to give us the brief and yawned throughout the 5 minute briefing. Probably should look into hiring more professional staff. Otherwise, driving the go-​carts was a blast!

The wife and I stopped in here a few months ago when we went thru Memphis on our honeymoon. Interesting place.
The go-​carts and track are pretty darn awesome. These carts are FAST! Easily the fastes I’ve ever been in. The track is challenging enough and has some fun turns and curves to navigate.
The price is pretty insane. For 3 turns each, it was about $ 100. That’s ridiculous. Each turn was like 7 mins or so. And, we were literally the only people in the place, so a lot of the fun is sucked right out.
Oh, and you have to wear some pretty hot gear. I sweating pretty heavily.
It was an interesting experience, but jot something I’d ever do again at the price.

I didn’t race and my experience is different than most peoples. I run a group for kids and we wanted to surprise a special kid in an over the top kind of way. We had a car show roll in parade style followed by swat with their sirens. Autobahns staff helped every step of the way and were so welcoming. Some of our guys even made a few laps. I was just blown away at how amazing the staff was. The staff is what makes a business and each and everyone of them went above and beyond to help this kid have the best day ever. I am so impressed with everyone’s kindness and patience.

The speed of the go carts looked scary fast as we walked through the door at 11PM. First time riders have to register on the iPads in the back. I would suggest using the iPads on either ends since they worked properly compared to the ones in the middle. After registering, we paid for our track time. It cost $ 6 for an annual track license and $ 14.99 for a 14 lap race. It’s ladies night on Fridays, so we received a $ 5 discount. They offer a discount for military personnel and law enforcement, so bring your ID. Next, we watched a safety video and chose our appropriate helmets. Your assigned go cart number is displayed on the screen. There is a locked tool box where you can leave your personal belongings. You’re slowly guided onto the track and then bam your off. The track had quite a few turns that slowed me down since I didn’t want to die. At the end of the race, you get a personal stat sheet which shows your ranking and best laps. All in all, very fun!

We took one of our teams from work to reward them for their hard work and I have to say we had a blast!
Autobahn offers several group packages and they guide you with what fits your group the best. We even got trophies, t-​shirts and pictures of our group!
Nice setup and pretty fast cars made for some fun competition for our group.
Would definitely recommend!

Wow! I was expecting fun but not this much fun. The karts here as so fast it’s almost like racing in cars. They have great bundle pricing too. Definitely worth it. Will be coming back again.

Had a blast. Traveling through Memphis and stopped to try it out. 1 race is tough to master the track. Drivers of all skill there.

The company I work for had a company outing here and it was a fun time! The staff was friendly, patient and helpful. You will have to provide your own food and drinks if your company does this. Apart from the track itself, there was not much to keep you entertained besides a few arcade games, which is more of an information point than a critique on my part. But something to note if you are expecting more to do.
The highlight is probably obvious enough… THE RACING! These are not your childhood go carts and 14 laps around lasts longer than one might think. The racing experience alone would get 5 stars from me, will take you back and leave you longing for more!

I thought Autobahn Indoor Speedway was fun. However, I’ve experienced better for much cheaper. When you first go to Autobahn, you have to register on their Ipads and make an account. Second you have to purchase your race. A friend and I did the Arrive and Drive deal which is 14 laps for $ 19.99. Also, you are required to purchase the annual license for helmet and headsock rental for $ 6.00. After we paid, we watched the safety video and waited for our race number to be called. Once called, we walked into a room and an employee went over the safety rules with us and made clear what the colors of the flags represented on the track. Afterwards, this was the part I didn’t like, we put our belonging in a unlocked toolbox. The employee reassured us that there are cameras everywhere and our stuff wouldn’t be stolen. However, how can they actually guarantee that! I would of felt better with it being locked. After our reluctance of putting our cell phones and keys into the toolbox, we walked to our race cars and headed off to the track. Now that’s where the fun started. We started off slow and once we saw the green flag waved, we powered up. Overall, it was a fun experience, although in my opinion it wasn’t worth the price.

This place is AWESOME for a Company event and FUN for everybody (even the vertically challenged in our group who needed booster seats to comfortably reach the pedals — including me). This group at Autobahn invented the EASY button. I was able to reserve the venue over the phone with a credit card. We got the whole track to ourselves before they opened. It is an unique experience for a company outing that also lets you blow off some steam. The people at Autobahn made the whole experience special — I would give more stars if I could. They took digital photos and sent them to us and presented trophies and medallion awards for the fastest times and teams. The podium and group pics were another nice touch. Another completely unexpected bonus was when they had all of us sign a tire with our company name on it as a souvenir for us to take back to the office .They allowed us to cater breakfast, helped set it up and refused to allow us to clean up after ourselves. We have to give a shout out to the whole team who tended to our needs today Anthony, Jamie, Megan, Ashley W, Martavious, Hailey H, Marcus and Derrick — you guys rocked it for us today! Thank you so much.

Wow this place was awesome!!! I will be back next week!!! Super fun and super fast!!!

We arrived at 5 and waited 3 hours to drive. Our race was postponed 3 times. It was a very long wait and they seemed unorganized. In the other hand. But they did give us a free race for our wait.
The experience was great and the cars were fast. I would recommend the experience but you better have plenty of time or call ahead.

This was my first time every go-​karting! And it was a blast. We had just decided to go there a few hours earlier. Being a weekday and 6:30 had its perks of no wait time. We had to register (took 2 mins), watch a safety video. We picked the 3 race combo pack for a total of $ 50. It started off slow with all of our cars being remote speed-​released onto the pit and then we zoom off! At the end of the race, we get print-​outs of our track record. Will definitely be doing it again. The pit crew and the reception crew were very helpful.

I must agree with the other Unilocalers, these are not the «put put» go karts from days of old. These are very fast (50mph) karts and are all electrically powered (no gas fumes). If you have never raced before, you must register (online screen), review a 2 minute training video, then you will receive a membership card.
One Race (14 laps) will cost you $ 20, but there are combo packs you can purchase if you wish to race multiple times. There are smaller cars for the kids, as well as rooms for birthday parties/​events. You will receive a text message when your race will start and also get your helmet selection. Once the cars are released from the pit area, you will start off a 10 mph (controlled by the flagman remotely) to adjust to the track. Then the green flag and you are gone! Fun outing for the family, groups, kids… Love the speed rush! I am hooked :)

Accelerating speed rush is best at describing these Karts they make sure to put safety first and test you to make sure you were paying attention. The races are intense and you will easily get caught up in the race.

What an amazing experience! Racing was exhilarating with fast karts and challenging track. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous. Thank you Autobahn Indoor Speedway!

Fun but a little pricey. I would go back but only when they are running discounts. Here is what really worries me about this place. All of the kids hanging around in the parking lot. As this is Memphis, it is only a matter of time before they get in a fight and some idiot pulls a gun and people are scared to go here. I hope it doesn’t happen, but it won’t surprise me if we lose this cool place due to typical Memphis BS. I guess what I am saying that it is cool, a tad pricey but they need to keep the loitering outside under control. Also, they need a locker system or something to secure valuable while you are racing. I don’t trust putting my phone into an unlocked tool cabinet beside the track.

tl: dr — Nice facility, very fast karts. Buy race packs in bulk to save money. Be prepared to wait if you are with a large group.
These aren’t your little brother’s go karts. One of my favorite things in the world is driving go karts whenever presented with the opportunity. Needless to say that when I learned Autobahn was opening in Memphis and they were promising speeds up to 50 MPH, I was excited.
My son and I arrived at Autobahn about an hour after they opened on a Friday afternoon and after a quick registration process (only needed on your first trip), we bought our races and watched a quick safety video.
Thankfully they were able to squeeze the two of us in to the next race, if you’re with a large group be prepared to wait if you all want to race together.
As the previous race was finishing up a gentleman gave us another safety briefing that was pretty much the exact same content as the video, but he very politely emphasized that he would be the track marshal for our race and wouldn’t tolerate any risky behavior on his track.
After donning our head socks and racing helmets, we headed on to the track and strapped in to our five-​point harnesses and were ready to race.
The karts are electronically governed and they start you off slow on to the track, maybe 5 MPH. Once everyone is on the track and the pit area is closed, they bump it up to your average family fun center go kart speed to let you see the track. Once we were about halfway around the track they waved the green flag and the fun began. The go kart had a sudden surge of speed and before I knew it, I has heading in to my first turn at 40+ MPH. I swear this may have been the first time in my life I ever used the brake pedal in a go kart. After a few laps I really started getting a feel for the course and how the karts handled.
I can’t wait to go back a log some more laps on the track. The Arrive and Drive package ($ 20 for 14 laps) isn’t a bad way to dip your toe in and see if this is something you want to do more of, but it isn’t the most economically friendly way to go. If you’re sure this is your cup of tea, I suggest buying the multi-​race packs and save some cash. The discount start getting pretty significant after 3 or 4 races.

This is probably be the most in-​depth review that I will have ever written since joining Unilocal.So I have been seeing a lot ads for this place on facebook and seen one good review so far on Unilocal.Now trying to find this place is little bit tricky. It’s in an area of big business like service master and some other places. Well I got there early and was able to see what this place is all about. It’s true if you get there between 11:00 and 2pm you get off $ 5 off the $ 19.99 for 1 ride on the go cart for about I would say 5 to 10 laps at least. Okay now I have experienced a lot of go cart experience in my 29 years which I will say NOTHING compares to this place. It’s huge place and feels you’re driving in the Nascar of go-​karts. If this doesn’t become stable for Unilocal or Memphis in general then I don’t know what to say. This is going to be a Unilocal elite event sooner than later. This is worth you’re paying hands down.

If you have need for speed, come here. The place looks very nice. Karts and helmet looks fine, but some show battle scars. Competition is very good. Lots of fast racers in the area seems to come out and race here. Kart is setup toward oversteer.
On Saturday we went, there are food truck outside, and hotdog stand. So you got lunch and entertainment in one place.
Overall, I will be a regular for this place. The only complaint I have is how far it is from my house.
