About Lakeside Track
Lakeside Track is the headline circuit at Le Mans Entertainment in Dandenong South — Victoria's biggest outdoor go-karting complex, spanning 23 acres of purpose-built motorsport. At 650 metres, Lakeside is the fastest track on site and runs the venue's top-tier Viper Superkarts, capable of over 80 km/h, on an all-weather bitumen surface with full floodlighting for night racing. A dedicated grandstand lets spectators watch the action properly. The complex surrounds Lakeside with three additional tracks — the 620m Penrite Track (the most popular), an 8–12 junior circuit, and a mini kart track for under-8s — plus laser tag, mini golf and Zero Latency VR, making it a full-day destination in Melbourne's south-east.
