GPK is Toronto’s leading recreation facility! Bit.ly/gpkartways Drivers will be given a racing balaclava to wear under the helmets provided.
Guests will enjoy indoor electric go kart racing, tactical laser tag, interactive gaming in our Kinected Interactive Centre, and slot car racing at our Mini Grid attraction. GPK’s objective is to provide a quality experience, in a clean, safe, fun, and professional environment.
47,000 sq ft of indoor space, with high ceiling and complete clear span over the racetrack, houses the GPK racing amuse
ment centre. GPK creates an overall fun racing experience, at a standard significantly higher than currently being offered in the Greater Toronto Area, with a consistent theme in layout, décor, and ancillary services. From the moment you arrive, 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. 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. No fossil fuels will be required to power the karts, keeping the facilities clean, pollution free, and GPK environmentally responsible. The Italian made EK-5N-DR and EK-Mini Go-Karts are the best available in the industry, in terms of performance and safety, including remote control shut-off, capable of stopping all karts at once for on-track protection from pile-ups. Weekly races and tournaments will be held for various age groups, on the track, and in the video zone, with trophies and prizes celebrating the champions. The retail merchandise store offers racing caps, shirts, jackets, and custom helmets, along with rare model cars. The track-side Café and Nitro Lounge, welcomes guests to stay and enjoy live racing and other sporting events on big screen TV’s, and will also provide dining facilities for family or corporate parties. Our arcade zone features billiard tables, foozeball, air hockey, video games, and an 8-lane slot car track, providing hours of fun. GPK is an integral part of Parc Downsview Park, providing various activities that draw large numbers of visitors, and promotes healthy and safe family experiences, all in an environmentally friendly fashion. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and services, in a consistent race-themed experience, it is sure to exhilarate consumers and give great value for their moneys

Congratulations to Breanne "Breezus" Mclean for psoting the top lap time for the month of August. Breezus' week 3 time of 00:21:195 could not be eclipsed, and still remains the best lap time of 2017. Can anyone go sub-21 seconds to knock Breezus off of the top of the podium?

August is apparantly the month that legends are born! Two weeks ago Andrew Nitu posted the fastest laptime of the year at 00:21:819. This week, that mark was shattered by Breanne "Breezus" Mclean who put down a scortching top time of 00:21:195, which is our current Top Time of the Year. Congrats Breanne!

The heat is really getting turned up this month! Congratulations to Andrew Nitu of Toronto who posted the week's top time of 00:21:819. This is not only the top time of the week, but is the fastest lap of the year thus far, topping Evan "Affrican Lion" Safari's previous best by a slim 8/100 of a second. The competition for the title of GPK's is stiff. Who will be next?

Apparently nothing can slow down Evan "African Lion" Safari! Evan posted the fastest time of the week at 00:22:072, which is unbelievably the 3rd consecutive week that he has sat atop the GPK leaderboard. Looks like we may have our undisputed unless someone else has what it takes to dethrone the "African Lion"

It looks like we have an epic rivalry brewing... Jrabbit accepted the challenge of going "sub-22" and topping Evan "African Lion" Safari's top time from the week prior, and then came out last week and put his "money where his mouth is" by posting a blazing time of 00:21:928--which took top spot for the month of July. But Jrabbit saw his glory short-lived...Just 2 days later, the "African Lion" responded with a vengeance to post an unbelievable time of 00:21:896, reclaiming the title and posting the fastest time of the year thus far! Congratulations to Evan "African Lion" Safari for being our Top Racer of the month of July. With speed like that, we're gonna have to start calling him "Cheetah"
