IMPACT Speed Park

Description

I’ve gotta tell you – as someone who’s always chasing that next adrenaline rush, IMPACT Speed Park seriously exceeded my expectations. This isn’t your average go-kart track. The facility feels incredibly modern and clean, with a fleet of cutting-edge electric karts that’ll make you feel like you’re living in the future.

The star attraction here is definitely those Sodi RTX electric karts. Y’know, I was skeptical at first about electric versus traditional gas karts, but these babies can really move! They’re surprisingly powerful and responsive, giving you that perfect balance of speed and control. And the best part? No nasty exhaust fumes following you around the track.

What really stands out to me is how the park caters to different skill levels. Whether you’re a total newbie who’s never touched a go-kart before, or someone who fancies themselves the next Lewis Hamilton, you’ll find your groove here. The track layout is pretty clever too – challenging enough to keep things interesting but not so technical that it’ll frustrate beginners.

Best Time to Visit

From my experience, weekday mornings tend to be quieter if you’re looking to avoid crowds. The track gets pretty busy on weekends and holiday periods – especially during the afternoon. But honestly? That’s when the atmosphere is most electric (pun totally intended!).

I’d recommend trying to get there right when they open if you’re visiting on a weekend. The morning sessions usually have shorter wait times, and the karts are freshly charged. Plus, racing in the morning means you’ll have more energy to really push those lap times!

How to Get There

The Speed Park is located within the IMPACT complex in Bangkok’s northern suburbs. If you’re taking public transport, the easiest way is to catch the shuttle bus service from key BTS stations. Driving? There’s plenty of parking available on-site, and it’s well-signposted once you’re in the IMPACT complex.

Pro tip: If you’re using a ride-sharing app, make sure to specify “IMPACT Speed Park” rather than just IMPACT – the complex is huge and you don’t wanna end up at the wrong end of it (been there, done that!).

Tips for Visiting

Listen up, cause these tips come from both personal experience and chatting with the regular racers here. First off, wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in – and closed-toe shoes are an absolute must. They won’t let you race in flip-flops or sandals (learned that one the hard way).

Book ahead if you can, especially for weekends or if you’re bringing a group. The track runs on a first-come-first-served basis during regular hours, but you might face some wait times during peak periods.

Don’t eat a heavy meal right before racing – trust me on this one. The g-forces around those corners can make for an uncomfortable experience if you’ve just demolished a big lunch.

Make sure to listen carefully during the safety briefing – it’s not just boring rules, they actually give some solid tips for handling the karts. And don’t be that person who thinks they’re too cool for the safety gear – the helmets are there for a reason.

Oh, and bring your competitive spirit! The timing system makes it super fun to challenge yourself or race against friends. But remember – it’s not Formula 1, so keep it friendly and safe out there.

For photographers in your group, there are some great viewing spots around the track. The straights and hairpin turns make for especially good photo ops. Just make sure your phone or camera has enough storage – you’ll probably want lots of pics and videos.

One last thing – if you’re planning to do multiple sessions (and trust me, you’ll want to), take short breaks between races. It helps you maintain focus and gives you time to check your lap times and figure out where you can improve. The staff are usually pretty helpful with tips if you ask nicely!
