Let’s be honest—traditional team-building exercises can feel a little stale. Sitting in a conference room discussing communication strategies or trust falls in the office parking lot? Not exactly thrilling. But what if you could bring your team together in a way that’s not only effective but also incredibly fun?
Welcome to Pittsburgh International Race Complex (Pitt Race), where team building means high-speed excitement, friendly competition, and unforgettable moments. Whether you’re racing head-to-head in high-performance karts or navigating obstacle courses that put your skills to the test, Pitt Race delivers an adrenaline-packed way to strengthen teamwork, communication, and morale.

Why Group Events Are a Winning Formula for Team Building
When your team steps out of their usual routine and into an exciting, high-energy environment, real connections happen. At Pitt Race, we believe that team building should be more than just an exercise—it should be an experience.
Here’s why our high-speed group events are a winning formula for your team:
✅ Stronger Communication: Whether giving directions in the Backseat Driver Challenge or strategizing in a head-to-head kart race, your team will naturally develop better communication skills.
✅ Trust and Collaboration: When you're zipping around the track at 45 mph, trusting your team has a plan back at the pits is crucial.
✅ Unforgettable Fun: Let’s face it—nobody remembers the time they did an icebreaker in a conference room. But they will remember the time they raced their boss in a kart or drove blindfolded!
Heart-Pounding Team-Building Activities at Pitt Race
We know that no two teams are the same, which is why Pitt Race offers a variety of customizable group experiences. Whether you’re looking for fast-paced competition or skill-based challenges, we’ve got something for everyone.

🏎 Karting Challenge – Feel the Need for Speed
Buckle up and put the pedal to the metal in our karts that hit speeds of up to 45 mph. No experience? No problem! A short training session gets everyone pepped before the real competition begins. It’s a perfect way to bring out your team’s competitive spirit!

🏁 Backseat Driver Challenge – Trust Is Everything

Think you can navigate the track blindfolded? You’ll have to rely on your teammates’ directions to steer. This challenge is hilarious, chaotic, and the ultimate test of communication—and it always leads to some epic team moments.

⏱ Battlecross – Precision Under Pressure
This isn’t your average driving experience. Maneuver through a timed obstacle course with agility and speed while racing against the clock. It’s all about staying cool under pressure—just like in the workplace.
🚗 Car Control Clinic – Sharpen Your Skills
This challenge goes beyond fun—it’s an actual learning experience! Your team will learn life-saving driving techniques while testing their reactions in real-world driving scenarios. It’s perfect for teams who love to learn new skills while having a blast.
