There is no age requirement to race at K1 Speed, just a height requirement:

58” for the teen/adult karts.
Meeting the height requirement is not a guarantee you’ll be able to drive our karts. Drivers will be measured at the location and must be able to safely operate all elements of the kart. Final approval will be management’s discretion.

Can my group all race together on track at K1 Speed?
It may be hard for K1 Speed to allow everyone in your group to race together during busier periods, as we will fill any vacant race positions with the next racers in the queue. However, during slower times, you may always ask the front desk cashier to see if they can accommodate your request. If you have a group size of 8 or more, we recommend booking an event with us that will provide private racing for your group. Just note, Junior and Adult karts are never mixed on track.
