Girls trip ideas › Go karting
You know the drivers, you know the teams and you’ve spent enough race weekends yelling at a screen to have some very valid opinions on strategy. Now it’s your turn on the track, then a dressed up evening with the girls and somewhere to stay for all of you.
The commentary is coming from inside the helmet.
In your group chat, the motorsport calendar is never just a suggestion. Each of you has a favourite corner on a circuit on the other side of the world, and the chat goes silent during qualifying. Everyone knows not to take it personally.
Then the lights change and everyone becomes a lot more determined than they planned to be. Overtakes start feeling very personal, nobody gives up the inside line, and every near miss dissolves into helpless laughter. A few of you turn out to have a completely different personality behind the wheel.
Being loud and a little ruthless with the women who’ve known you longest was never something you were meant to grow out of. The women who’ve sat through every rain delay with you, snacks out and opinions loud, have more than earned a turn at the track.
Grid girls used to stand beside the car. Yours are in it.
Helmets on, then heels on.
A go karting girls trip with My Ultimate is time on a karting track for the whole group, built into a whole girls weekend with somewhere to stay, food, drinks and a dressed up evening after.
Balaclavas under the visors, which nobody looks good in and everybody photographs anyway. The first laps are for learning the corners and grinning behind the visor.
Qualifying and a main race in Melbourne, two e karting sessions in Sydney, laps on a multi level indoor track on the Gold Coast. By the second go, the cornering is very personal indeed.
The arguing about who really had the best line starts before the visors come up. It does not stop all weekend.
Back to the apartment, track hair to going-out hair with the whole crew working in shifts. Trainers swapped for heels.
A cocktail tower on the Gold Coast, bubbly by the harbour in Sydney, golden hour by the river in Melbourne. Every overtake replayed with more drama than it had at the time.
Somebody traces the hairpin in the condensation on her glass to show exactly where she braked. Everyone watches. Twice.
Pick your city, pick your line.
Each one is a whole girls weekend with the karting built in: somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works. Each city’s page has it alongside every other girls weekend there.
Prices are from, per person, for a minimum of six (eight for the Melbourne weekend). Accommodation can cost more on busy dates such as school holidays, so we confirm the price for your exact dates.

Competitive about things that don’t even count.
It works for the motorsport fans with very valid opinions on strategy, and for the friend who has never driven anything faster than the school run.
You know the drivers, the teams and every rain delay. This time the race weekend is yours.
Who called shotgun first, who got the last dumpling. Now there’s a track to settle it.
The first laps are for learning the corners. By the second go, everyone has a racing line.
Speed first, sparkle after. Exactly the right order.
Pole position for the birthday girl, if the group is feeling generous. It won’t be.
School friends, work friends and somebody’s sister. Nothing bonds a group like a disputed overtake.
The rest of the weekend, sorted around the track.
Every go karting weekend already works on its own. These are the things that sit beautifully beside it, and a few of them can be added to the weekends above.
Another way to settle who’s most competitive. An extra on the Sydney and Gold Coast weekends, and its own weekend in every city.
More on axe throwingSomewhere to replay every overtake between songs. An extra on all three weekends.
More on nightclub boothsFast laps, slow sips up high. Already in the Sydney weekend, and an extra on the Gold Coast one.
More on rooftop barsRefuelling at the pit stop. An extra on all three weekends.
More on grazing deliveredThe results revised over mimosas. An extra on all three weekends.

Helmets on for everyone, with a balaclava underneath in Sydney and on the Gold Coast. Plan the hair for after.
Track first, bubbly after. The drinks start once the karting is done.
On the Gold Coast you may share the track with a few other drivers. They had no idea what they were signing up for.
In their own words, exactly as written.
Normally on trips I'm the person carrying around all the booking confirmations and announcing when we need to leave.
This time I got to be in the photos.
That probably says everything.
I actually love organising trips and was a little hesitant about using a company because I didn't want to lose control over the weekend.
That wasn't what happened at all.
I still made the decisions. I still chose what felt right for my friends. I just had better information and didn't need to personally manage every moving part once we got there.
Would definitely use them again.
My Ultimate has been creating unforgettable girls weekends since 2011, so we know a thing or two about bringing the girls together.
Same track, a very different weekend.
Plenty of groups book a karting session and have a great afternoon. Then comes the bit after: where to get changed, where to eat, who’s booking it and everyone peeling off in separate rides just as the overtakes get retold.
A go karting girls weekend with My Ultimate has the apartment, the food, the drinks and where to next already lined up around the track, so nobody has to rush home to change and find each other in town an hour later than agreed.
In your words, ready to paste.

In Melbourne there’s qualifying and a main race. In Sydney it’s two e karting sessions, and on the Gold Coast it’s laps on an indoor track. The arguing about who really won happens everywhere.
