The motorsport scene in Singapore is heating up as the latest fun karting circuit is set to open in Turf City, Bukit Timah next month. The Karting Arena @ Bukit Timah is Singapore's first ever, permanent electric karting track, and is the most centrally located circuit in the city.
"The new track is designed specifically for leisure karting. We have been involved in Singapore karting for a few years and have met many people who enjoy karting, but not on a professional level," said Mr. Yuey Tan, Founder of The Karting Arena @ Bukit Timah.
The new track will only run electric karts, making it the first permanent electric karting track that is environmentally friendly in Singapore. The new electric karts are the fastest accelerating karts in the market. They outperform traditional petrol-powered karts, providing superior acceleration and consistent performance; without the noise, fumes and mess associated to conventional petrol karts.
"We brought in newly developed Birel electric karts from Italy and Japan that boast superior handling on a chassis that behaves similarly to a Birel race chassis used in international races," said Mr. Tan.
The new electric karts feature the latest technology in safety and performance - even weight distribution, electronic speed control and remote emergency shut down, offering drivers the full capacity to focus on driving while on the circuit. Drivers are able to experience quick acceleration with the high-powered electric motors that are programmed to produce a linear torque output that will help drivers when coming out of corners, unlike petrol fun karts that feel bogged-down when the revs drop.

Rates for individual fun karting experience starts from $25.00 per session for 10 minutes - approximately 20 laps. Corporate and customised events are available with rates starting from $1,400.00 per hour. The venue will be opened until 10:00pm on operating days, providing a totally different karting experience in the evenings under the floodlights.

The new $1.3 million circuit features a 545-metre long track with an exhilarating experience. The eight-metre wide track, currently the widest in Singapore, has multiple overtaking points that makes for an amazingly fun and safe circuit.
