Default Karting in Dubai

I'm looking for a proper place for karting in Dubai..I've been two a few but am not really satisfied..

Dubai Autodrome: Great facilities, clean, neat etc.. Acceptable track.. Awful karts, only good for starters as they're too slow.. Obviously single sucky engines are not fun..

Jebel Ali: Awful facilities, nice track but too dark.. No safety at all.. Karts are with twin engines and are quite fast but there are no standards for karts.. One can be really good the other might be equally bad..

Festival City: I can't say anything about the track as I they had relocated the track due to another event.. Cars are quite good with twin engines but I had 2 engine malfunctions during a 10min session and had to change my kart.. And all karts differ from one another in terms of performance..

I'm just looking for a proper place with equally good maintained and fast karts.. Any place I've missed so far??

I here Al Ain is about the best in the UAE, not been there though so not 1st hand info.

I have the same opinions as you, I used to race karts in my younger days, so also get a little bored of the toy karts on offer at the Autodrome, etc

What does Kart refer to? An ATV, or an actual kart?

An actual Kart, equates to what some people would refer to as a 'Go-Kart'

Well I'm planning to go to Al Ain Sportplex sometime soon to try their paintball and will be testing out the karts after that for sure.. But still, it's quite far.. No matter how good it can be, I don't see myself going all the way to Al Ain only for karting
