Go-karts that go fast: Autobahn brings indoor racing to Bessemer

Feature

There isn’t anything about the exterior of the 53,000-square-foot Autobahn Indoor Speedway in Bessemer that hints at the energy taking place inside.

The business opened a few weeks ago and is drawing fun-seekers, speed demons, corporate team builders and even a bachelorette party.

The all-electric go-kart racetrack is patterned after a popular pastime in Europe. The Bessemer location joins others in Baltimore, Memphis, Tennessee, and Jacksonville, Florida. Others are opening soon.

Alabama NewsCenter takes you inside the Autobahn Indoor Speedway, where carts can go up to 50 mph.
