Disc Kart is by far the most fun karting centre in town, and a great place to spend a few hours.Walking into a bar area with circular banquettes overlooking the track seems like an invitation to drink drive, and the fact that you'll normally wait 20 minutes for a spin on the track makes the 60RMB 1.25l pitchers of draught beer particularly appealing (you can also play foosball, pool or the Daytona USA 2 arcade game while you wait.

Once you’ve paid your 70RMB for eight minutes of track time, it's a lot of fun, with the 550m race track full of interesting twists, turns and opportunities for overtaking. The only slight irritation is that the 40 karts – all imported from Germany and fitted with Honda 160cc engines – vary wildly in their performance, so observe first. Karts six, nine and 24 will have you overtaking at will, while karts two and 17 are painfully slow.
