Go!




Go big. Go fast. Go together. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ... Go!

As seen on Netflix (excluding Australia) as the popular movie Go Karts!

Fifteen-year-old Jack has just discovered the one thing he loves, and is really good at: go kart racing. With the support of his mentor, Patrick, an old race-car driver with a dark past, and his best mates Colin and Mandy, Jack must learn to control his reckless streak. Only then will he be in with a chance to defeat the best drivers in Australia, including his ruthless rival Dean, and win the National title.

Now a major Australian motion picture.
