Good news for petrolheads - apparently planning permission has been granted for a kart track to be built and operated (just re read that - I guess its pretty obvious no one is going to want to build one without operating it!) at Plaza Major near the airport at Malaga. 
According to the 25 year licence the site should be developed within 20 months and a plot of almost 7,000m2 has been allocated. The site will include the circuit, spectator gallery and pit boxes. Not many other details at the moment, but hopefully it will be a good facility.
Since the closing of the Mijas Karting Track (which was actually in the Mijas bit of Fuengirola!), local residents looking for Karting in Marbella have struggled a bit.
There is of course the karting track at Funny Beach which is great for visitors to the Marbella area, but with such a small track it can get a little boring for residents. Further afield there is excellent Karting in Campilos, with a great circuit, but its a bit of a drive from Marbella, and you have Karting at Ascari Race Resort but this is a little exclusive!
And of course you can throw off the shackles of a track, and make Andalucia your track, getting up into the stunning surrounding mountain scenery on a Buggy Safari from Marbella.
Roll on the opening of a new facility - the more choice the merrier!
