The International Rental Karting Awards 2024

The 2nd Annual International Awards

Celebrating Rental Karting

The 2024 Award Winners

Stand up and be proud of what you've achieved…

As kart tracks, we're always focused on 'what's next'.

The Karting Industry is notoriously bad at recognising and celebrating what tracks around the world have achieved and how far you've come.

The great work you do often goes unnoticed, so awards like these are a great way to shine a spotlight on the amazing things go kart track owners all over the world are doing to build their own businesses, put something back into their local communities and give their country's economy a much needed shot in the arm.

The competition is open to any Rental Go kart track worldwide.

There are SEVEN Awards this year and the winners will be announced on the evening of Wednesday 7th of February at The Fastline Karting Spectacular in Barcelona Spain 2024.

The Awards are an integral part of the Karting Spectacular which runs from the 6th to 8th of February 2024 inclusive, and entry to the Awards evening ceremony is included as part of your ticket. Tickets can be purchased at kartingspectacular.com but you do not have to attend the Karting Spectacular to enter your track for an award or several awards (though if your selected as a finalist you probably should).

This is your chance to emerge from the shadows and get the recognition you deserve and just think how much winning this award will help you with your marketing and positioning! Not only will you receive a physical award to for example place on your reception counter, but also a digital certificate to put on your social media.

Opening date for entries is Thursday 27th September and closing date for entries is Sunday 10th December at midnight UK time and the seven Awards up for grabs are outlined below.

FAQ's

Why Should I Bother?

There are three reasons why...

Being an award-winning business (or even a finalist) definitely makes you stand out from the crowd. It helps hugely with your positioning and your ability to attract, get and keep customers AND places you way ahead of your competitors.
You deserve the recognition for all your hard work! As a business owner, you're always focused on 'what's next' and very rarely do you stop and recognise just how far you've come and what amazing things you achieved. These awards change that...
You'll get to hang out with like minded people who get your world.

How Do I Enter?

It’s super simple.

You must complete the official Award entry form which you can find HERE.

Jump on a Zoom call with Ed and myself where we will help you compile your entry

Good luck!

Do I Have To Be A Fastline Customer?

Not at all.

These awards are open to ALL RENTAL KART TRACKS

We’re on a mission to reward and recognise success no matter if your a Fastline customer or not.

Who Will Be Presenting The Awards

Hosting this year's National Entrepreneur Awards is: Simo & Ed

The ever-controversial YouTube double act will host the 2nd Annual International Rental Karting Awards.

Brace yourself for over-the-top laughs and a night full of hilarity!

Can I Send Supporting Documents

Sure thing!

Ed and myself will walk you through the entry process during our Zoom call where we can gather all the supporting documents required.

Send them to [email protected]

Will Sending Bribes To The Office Help Me Win?

No.

Although we LOVE chocolate, gin and thank you cards here at Fastline Group HQ… there are no prizes for sending anything to us in the post. In fact, we’re actively discouraging you from doing that in order to strengthen your entry – it won’t.

What's The Point? I'm Probably Not Going To Win

That’s not the attitude!

Someone has to win and it could absolutely be you.

But even if you don't take the crown... it’s not ALL about winning.

Most awards have several finalists, and the kudos and credibility you’ll get even for making it through to that stage is HUGE.

You’ll get a finalist logo for your website (and to use in all your marketing material) so you can tell the world you were a Finalist in the ____ Award!

AND... in our experience, simply filling out the award entry is rewarding in itself.

As a business owner you often forget how far you’ve come and you’re notoriously bad at celebrating what you’ve achieved – writing it all down in black and white is a great exercise to remind you that you’re awesome!

We’ve just lived through one of the most turbulent times your business will ever face – and you’re here to tell the tale! If that’s not a reason to celebrate, I don’t know what is. Go on, give it a go.

What have you got to lose?

I'm Not Coming To The Karting Spectacular, Can I Still Enter?

Of course.

The Awards are open to all rental kart tracks around the globe.

If you’re a finalist though, you’ll probably want to be at the ceremony on the Friday evening – you can get your ticket here.

The ceremony will be recorded and made available to you if you make it as a finalist. The clip of Ed and I talking about you and your business will make AMAZING social media footage!

Can I Enter More Than One Award?

Absolutely.

You can enter as many of the awards as you like just let Simo & Ed know which awards you are entering for on your call – BOOK YOUR CALL HERE.

When Will The Finalists Be Announced?

We will announce the finalists for each award on the 3rd January 2024.

They will be announced on our social media pages and via email.

When Will The Winners Be Announced?

What Do I Get If I Win?

Eternal glory of course!

No, seriously...

You'll be the proud owner of a spectacular trophy fit for a monarch which you can proudly display down at your track.
You'll be an award-winning business! That really helps to get and keep customers you know!
You'll be photographed with Simo & Ed who will hand you your trophy.
You'll be given a recording of the Awards Ceremony where we will have spoken about you and your business - great footage for social media!
