"The game's seamless way of balancing disparate levels of skill and aggression creates an addictive experience for just about everyone. Real-world karting, on the other hand, remains more of a niche affair. Sure, plenty of people race karts at theme parks and putt-putt parking lots, but this style of racing isn't on the radar for your average group of friends looking for a Friday diversion."
"What if you could do Mario Kart IRL without risking life and limb at some questionably safe theme park in China? That's basically the question that RPM Raceway is answering with the launch of Kart Klash. Kart Klash is a new experience at RPM's existing indoor tracks running electric Sodikart RSX2 karts. These machines offer variable levels of performance but can hit a maximum speed of 45 mph, which I can assure you feels pretty quick when your posterior is two inches from the floor."
RPM Raceway launched Kart Klash at tracks in Stamford, CT; Long Island, NY; and Syracuse, NY, offering Mario Kart-inspired combat on indoor circuits. The experience uses electric Sodikart RSX2 machines with adjustable performance and a 45 mph top speed, providing a substantive upgrade over noisy, gas-powered rental karts. The tight, twisting two-level track rewards full-power runs while the addition of rockets, land mines, and EMP bursts introduces interactive combat elements. Two practice races help drivers learn the layout before enabling Kart Klash combat. Early runs show engaging, party-friendly gameplay with notable potential for refinement.
