At time of the 1.0 release KartKraft features 7 officially licensed, laser-scanned circuits, plus the fictional Hangar Track: Whilton Mill circuit, Karting Genk, Atlanta Motorsports Park, The Geelong Kart Club, Go Kart Club of Victoria (GKCV, also in reverse configuration), PF International (PFI, also in the Classis layout), and the Brentomonte Circuit.[6] Vehicles include the entry-level KA100, the intermediate X30, the advanced KZ2 gearbox kart, the Praga 600cc ‘Monster’ Kart, and the KartKross.[3][6]
Online multiplayer support includes a bespoke hopper matchmaking system,[6] but it is currently limited to practice sessions with all classes of karts(excluding monster karts and kartKross karts), and up to 25 players.
