Location:

Euroindy is located in the Casal do Marra area, on the outskirts of Batalha village, in the district of Leiria. Situated in an industrial-profile area, the kart circuit benefits from convenient access and a tranquil environment, away from urban hustle.

Despite the functional nature of the surrounding area, its location allows visitors to enjoy a typically rural landscape, marked by gentle hills and scattered vegetation, creating an interesting contrast between the adrenaline of the track and the serenity of the surrounding environment.

Infrastructures and Track Characteristics

Since 1993, Euroindy has established itself as a reference in national karting. The track features a technically demanding layout, designed to provide real challenges for drivers, whether amateurs or experienced competitors. The circuit is adaptable to different types of events, with overtaking zones, technical corners, and a good variety of rhythms.

The infrastructure includes covered pit boxes, a driver change zone with speed control, and a technological system that ensures rigorous event monitoring. There is also a video circuit that allows for the monitoring and transmission of races, as well as information panels that provide real-time data on performance, lap times, and penalties.

Competition and Technical Development

Over the years, Euroindy has hosted several prominent endurance races, such as the 24 Hours of Batalha, the 500 Miles, and the Honda Trophy, contributing to the growth of the sport in Portugal. These competitions are not limited to on-track action, they also utilize control systems like Kart Control, which introduces variables such as driver weight and track time management.

Beyond its role in organizing events, Euroindy has distinguished itself through the development of its own karts. The first model, PRO-X 012, evolved into the IZZI-FLEX, a versatile and robustly constructed kart that was even presented internationally. This technical involvement reflects a continued commitment to innovation and the improvement of the driving experience.

Atmosphere and Usage

The atmosphere at the kart circuit is marked by a combination of competitive spirit and recreational fun. Throughout the year, it's common to find groups of friends, families, or teams training, all sharing the same enthusiasm for speed. The facilities are prepared to host medium and large-scale events, with ample areas for logistical and social support.

Between races, visitors will find spaces for breaks and socializing, including outdoor terraces and covered areas. The technical and human conditions ensure a safe, organized, and well-supported experience, whether during an endurance race or a more informal session.
