Singapore's inaugural electric fun karting circuit opens its doors

This year's racing season in Singapore heats up further as the highly anticipated fun karting circuit, The Karting Arena @ Bukit Timah, opens its doors on Tuesday, 22^nd September 2015, at Turf City, Bukit Timah. The new karting circuit is Singapore's first ever, permanent electric karting track, and the most centrally located circuit in the city.

The circuit features a 500-metre long track with 11 turns, consisting of a combination of sweeping corners, a hairpin and a chicane near the end of the lap, making it an exhilarating experience. The 7.2-metre wide track has multiple overtaking points that makes for an amazingly fun and safe circuit.

The new electric karts run at the track are the fastest accelerating karts in the market, outperforming traditional gasoline-powered karts, providing superior  acceleration and consistent performance; without the noise, fumes and mess associated to conventional gasoline karts.

"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. The Karting Arena @ Bukit Timah allows us to offer a strategic venue to hobby and corporate level enthusiasts to enjoy karting as a social activity," said Mr. Yuey Tan, Founder of The Karting Arena @ Bukit Timah.

"We want everyone in Singapore to enjoy the sport, but the market generally perceives karting as a competitive and an expensive sport. Our new circuit offers a safe and low-pressure environment for fun karting at highly affordable rates." Mr. Tan adds, "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."
