Plans for world's longest indoor e-kart track and e-sports centre revealed

AN Amusement centre has announced plans to open the world’s longest indoor e-karting track and an e-sports hub as part of a £12.6 million refurbishment.

XSite Braehead announced plans for the multi-million pound redevelopment on Wednesday, which are scheduled for later this year.

Among the proposed plans, Paradise Island Golf is also undertaking a significant upgrade with the inclusion of a high ropes course.

XSite has previously already carried out major refurbishment works to the centre including adding four new bowling lanes at the TENPIN bowling alley, two private karaoke rooms, and an overhaul of the bar.

There are also plans to expand the family entertainment centre, Funstation, along with opening the world's longest indoor e-karting track and e-sports venue, K1 Speed.

Bosses at the Renfrewshire-based entertainment complex said the £12.6m in further investment comes off the back of a “very successful” 2024 which saw XSite Braehead welcome more than 2.1m visitors throughout the year.

Kitty Vaughan, head of UK leisure and F&B at Pradera Lateral, XSite’s Asset Management team said the “unprecedented investment” shows the commitment to improving the visitor experience at the centre.

She said: “2025 is a landmark year for XSite Braehead with the introduction of new tenants, and significant enhancements to the already popular existing attractions.

“This large scale, unprecedented investment highlights XSite Braehead’s ongoing commitment to evolving and enhancing the visitor experience and with this we are setting the centre up for an extended period of exceptional growth.”

The money has been drawn from a partnership of tenant and owner contributions.
