## Price per person, excluding 5% VAT

| Group size | Per person | Billed for at least |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| 15–29 people | AED 680 | 25 people |
| 30–59 people | AED 570 | 37 people |
| 60+ people | AED 520 | — |

A group smaller than a band's "billed for at least" figure is still served, and is invoiced for that many people.
Where a larger band costs less in total, it is quoted instead: groups of 55–59 are billed as 60 people at the rate for 60+ people.

Payment: 50% advance on signature. 100% cleared 3 working days before the event. Numbers lock 7 days prior.

## Why this is not the retail version

A public karting session is **AED 150–300** for 15 minutes on a shared track, with whoever else walked in that afternoon.

This is the circuit to yourselves, a proper competition format with qualifying, grid positions, driver changes and live timing, and a podium at the end. The structure is what makes it a team event rather than a group of individuals driving.

**The endurance format with driver changes is the important detail.** It forces teams to make pit strategy decisions together, which is why it works as team building rather than just as an outing.
