You have to do it as a group to make it enjoyable. We hired Martin Brundle's (F1) go kart track year ago for our Christmas party. We had qualifying and then 3 x proper 30 lap races which were awesome. The karts were super fast exceeding 120 kmh and why an ambulance has to be on standby. Just driving around a track is boring without leaderboards and a tracking time. We had transponders on the karts that registered lap times so it was highly competitive.
