About Kartódromo Las Perdices
Overview
Kartódromo Las Perdices is a kart circuit on the Fundo Las Perdices estate in María Pinto, near Melipilla, about fifty minutes by road from Santiago. It is a private venue, created by José Luis Hurtado and run as a family project, and a 2022 report described it as the first professional-level track in Chile certified to host international competitions. Drivers with their own karts book training days online, usually on Fridays and Saturdays, and the circuit's fleet of Honda Sport Kart 390 rental karts runs events, endurance races and a monthly round of the Sodi World Series Chile for drivers from the age of fourteen. National and international kart championships complete the calendar.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The complex was designed with Spanish engineers to meet the safety parameters of the CIK-FIA, the international karting commission, including run-off distances. The original kart track is 1,100 metres long, and the wider network of asphalt around it allows many more layouts. The circuit publishes around forty numbered configurations, from short kart circuits to extra-long layouts approaching two kilometres, and three of them hold CIK-FIA homologation, with licences 1136, 1150 and 1151 for 1,677, 1,050 and 1,700 metres. The long layouts combine the main straight with its painted starting grid alongside the paddock, a fast straight towards the north-east, a large circular loop, a set of S-bends and the twisting kart section.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
A paddock with buildings lines the main straight, and the site has a cafeteria and an online shop where drivers book and pay for their training days. Booking rules are strict. A training day is charged per kart, power is only switched on in the complex once at least 22 bookings are confirmed, and animals are not allowed. The rental fleet consists of 31 Honda Sport Kart 390cc machines with four-stroke engines and reinforced sports chassis, aimed at events and premium rental sessions. A small karting school also operates at the circuit. On race weeks the circuit opens from Wednesday to Friday for practice, and on race days activity starts at 07:30 and runs until the end of the event.
History
José Luis Hurtado raced karts for a couple of years in the 1990s and returned to the sport in 2010, when his son began racing. After he inherited the estate in 2013 he decided to build a circuit there for his son. The family first planned to build only half of the track, but after the surveyor laid out the full design on the ground they decided to build all of it. The circuit soon began hosting national series, including IAME Chile and the 330 kilometres of Las Perdices in 2017 and rounds of the Rotax Max Challenge Chile from 2018, which by 2022 ran there every month for classes from eight-year-olds to drivers over 45. In August 2019 Las Perdices held a pre-South American round ahead of the international Rotax Max Challenge South America that September, and the circuit promoted the 2024 South American event, held from 24 to 28 September.
