Club Kart: European Session (クラブカート) is the kart racing game released for Sega NAOMI 2 hardware in 2001.

The game is notable for being the first NAOMI 2 game that used Sega's Memory Card Reader and Dispenser technology (MCRD), a system that used cards to save player data and progress, with it being used in Derby Owners Club, a improved version of this MCRD system would be used in the Initial D Arcade Stage series, where it saw more success than Club Kart.

A number of versions were released during the same period; Club Kart: European Session in standard, deluxe, and twin cabinet varieties. due to the unpopularity of the variant of MCRD in Club Kart, the CRIS (Card Replacement Interface System) was introduced in late 2001. an updated version of Club Kart was released in 2003 that removes card reader functionality entirely, giving the player access to all levels of kart at the start of the game, adjusting the number of laps on courses, and replacing real-life sponsors with fictional ones. This 2003 version would be ported to the GD-ROM format and be used on the Cycraft motion simulator and a spin-off in the form of a redemption game in Club Kart Prize in 2003.
