Tottenham Hotspur, a UK-based soccer club, has announced a 15-year partnership with Formula 1 to build the longest indoor go-kart track underneath its soccer stadium. The track is set to open in the fall of 2023 and will be the first in-stadium electric karting facility.

The facility includes separate tracks for adults and juniors and has already been accredited by the National Karting Association. This makes it a potential venue for national karting championship races in the future. The facility will also include educational activities for schools to introduce local kids to motorsport and career opportunities like engineering and software development.

The partnership will also focus on promoting environmental responsibility. Formula 1 has committed to becoming net zero carbon by 2030, and Tottenham is committed to halving its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and becoming net zero by 2040.

Formula 1 and Tottenham Hotspur will deliver educational activities for schools to engage local young people in motorsport and showcase career opportunities and pathways in areas such as engineering and software development.
