We joined the Unstoppabulls as part of the Karting Team and it’s a form of racing that we all have a great deal of passion for. We’re grateful to our Team Owner HH Shaikh Khalifa bin Hamed bin Isa Al Khalifa who offers us the opportunity to race on so many different tracks and championships†said Unstoppabulls Karting Team Captain Mohammed Al Baharna.
The 1.2km CIK approved circuit at the Kartdrome features 17 corners to test driver’s skills and a tunnel and bridge to add to the excitement. The expertly designed circuit can be divided into two smaller circuits of 720 metres and 525 metres each. This challenging circuit affords maximum safety to all drivers and spectators and is equipped with a complete set of flood lights to offer perfect viewing for night time racing.

Manufactured by SODIKART, the Karts offer a comfortable driving position, top level performance and handling.
