Tottenham Hotspur and F1 launch in-stadium karting track
28th February 2023Formula 1 and Tottenham Hotspur have agreed to a 15-year partnership which will see the worlds first in-stadium electric karting facility.
The karting facility is set to be built under London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will be the first – and only – one of its kind in Europe, which is set to open later on this year. It will also stand as London’s longest indoor track.
It will include two different circuits for both adults and juniors which have been accredited by the National Karting Association. The accreditation means it can become a potential venue for national karting championship races.
The track is set to be based below the stadium’s South Stand that will include facilities for interactive motorsport activities as well as food and beverage outlets.
President and CEO of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali said:
“As we continue to grow our sport, partnering with world renowned brands like Tottenham Hotspur allows us to take Formula 1 and motorsport to new and more diverse audiences.
“The karting experience will be a destination and place that families, friends, and aspiring drivers from all over the world will want to visit and enjoy, engaging new audiences and offering an accessible entry point to the world of motorsport.
“Our two brands have a shared vision to create life-changing career opportunities, promote diversity and inclusion, such as through the recently announced F1 Academy, and driving environmental sustainability – our innovative partnership will bring all of this to life.”
The facility at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will also be used to identify the next generation of potential F1 drivers. It is also expected to create apprenticeship and career opportunities for local young people and help improve diversity to the industry, including those in underrepresented groups.
As part of the partnership, the sport will collaborate with Tottenham Hotspur on their sustainability initiatives which promote environmental responsibility. This comes as Tottenham’s sustainability targets line up with F1’s commitment to be net zero carbon by 2030.
Chairman, Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy said:
“Since building this stadium our ambition has always been to see how far we can push the boundaries in delivering world-class experiences that will attract people from around the world all year round.
“We have been able to bring the biggest names in sport and entertainment to London N17. We are extremely excited about what this long-term partnership with F1 will bring for our global, national, and local communities.”
