About

K1 Speed Chula Vista in the Eastlake district operates the only professionally designed indoor electric go-kart track in the area, housed at 881 District Place, Suites 101–103, near Otay Ranch Town Center. The Chula Vista location opened in January 2024 after K1 Speed — the world's largest indoor electric kart racing operator, with 86-plus centers across seven countries since 2003 — acquired the former Speed Circuit facility and installed its Italian-made OTL Superleggero adult karts reaching 45 mph alongside junior karts capped at 20 mph, and the Paddock Lounge serves pizza, wings, and sliders in a trackside setting similar to the dining format at Yard House across the Eastlake commercial strip. Programming includes arrive-and-drive racing, monthly race leagues for adults, teens, and juniors, drift nights, glo karting under blacklight, and K1 World Championship qualifying events. The 15-game arcade and private meeting rooms support corporate team-building packages, birthday parties, bachelor events, and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, drawing from the same Eastlake corporate-event market served by The Venue at Eastlake next door on District Place. All karts run zero-emission electric drivetrains producing instant torque with regenerative braking, eliminating exhaust fumes and enabling continuous indoor operation under CARB air-quality compliance.
