K1 Speed is a California company that operates go-kart tracks.[1] The company was co-founded in 2003 by United States racing driver Boris Said and Susan Danglard, who had previously worked in the fashion industry.[2][3] That same year, K1 Speed opened their first go-kart track outside San Diego, California.[1]
In late 2018, K1 Speed said that they were partnering with virtual and augmented reality brand Oculus to use their Oculus Rift virtual reality headset and several cameras monitoring a track to give K1 Speed's go-kart users a virtual racing experience.[4]
K1 Speed has 55 locations across the United States, Canada , Mexico, Dominican Republic, South Korea , Puerto Rico, Kuwait, Italy, China and France .[1][5][6]
