The roar of engines echoes in my memory. Kartright Speedway. That’s the first thing you notice. The sheer energy. The thrill of speed.
Kartright Speedway isn’t just a racetrack. It’s a piece of Singaporean history. Opened on January 9 2010 it was Singapore’s first permanent competition-length karting track. A testament to the nation’s passion for motorsports. The 750-meter track was built in just five months. High-grade bitumen ensures slick high-speed racing.
Imagine the dedication of the builders. To complete such a technically challenging project so quickly. It’s impressive. It’s also Singapore’s first floodlit track. Night races under the stars offer a unique experience. The 7-meter-wide track allows for exciting overtaking. Race karts can reach speeds up to 130 kmph. A single lap takes an average of 36 seconds. Thrilling.
Kartright Speedway isn’t just for professional racers. Anyone can experience the speed. There are recreational karters corporate bookings birthday parties even stag nights. The two-story building houses the pit lane spectator gallery teaching rooms and more. There’s a pro shop and indoor kart storage. Kart owners can even schedule their own practice sessions. A true luxury.
Children are welcome too. There is a growing number of young karters ages 5 to 15. Kartright Speedway is establishing a children’s academy. To nurture future champions.
Safety is paramount. Nearly 4000 tires act as safety barriers. Marshals are always on hand to assist.
Weekdays the track is open from 11 am to 10 pm. Weekends it extends its hours to 9 am to 10 pm. Mondays are closed. Even before its official opening Kartright Speedway had 100 privately owned karts and 200 registered members. A testament to the anticipation. Rides cost $30 for 10 minutes on weekdays. Students get a discount of just $20. No driving license is needed.
Kartright Speedway. More than just a race track. It is a symbol of Singapore’s vibrant spirit. Its passion for speed and its commitment to fun for all. A place where dreams of speed are realized. A place of memories. A place you should visit.
