India’s first CIK-FIA Grade 1 karting circuit, designed with input from Karun Chandhok. It costs more and needs a drive out to Irungattukottai, but this is a real motorsport facility - not just somewhere to race your friends for ten minutes.

The electric karts have proper shove, lap timing gives everyone something to argue about afterwards, and the two layouts stop a second visit feeling like a repeat. Go with friends; it is more social than serious.

Eight serious rigs, live timing and people who know how to get you properly set up. Come with a track in mind and enough time to improve; a quick ten-minute dab would miss the point.

Do not judge it by the outside. The direct-drive and triple-screen set-up is the draw; the friendly owner, plus snacks and drinks included in the session, is what people tend to remember.

Easy to miss in Guindy and deliberately no-frills. Pricing is low enough for an impulsive 20 minutes, but book the Podium rig if you want the direct-drive, triple-screen version of the experience.

The rigs are well looked after, prices are fair, and staff will help a newcomer find a car and track without overcomplicating things.

Three direct-drive PlayStation rigs and GT7 are an uncomplicated proposition. It is out at Kangachattiram, though, so might work best as part of a local plan.

A proper racing rig inside a busy gaming café. Do a stint on F1, Assetto Corsa or iRacing, then head over to pool, VR or whatever else catches your fancy.

Start with the FPV racing simulator, then move onto RC racing, Segway karts and free-roam VR. It is built for an afternoon when nobody wants to do the same thing.

Come for the RC track, stay for dinner and a few more games. One of the easier places to turn a random evening into a plan.

F1 cards, die-cast cars and the occasional find worth taking home.
