The Karting Arena Jurong

Traffic rules are aplenty. Stop at the red lights, look out for pedestrians and of course, no flooring the pedal on the road – you’ll be fast, but the traffic police will be furious. So here’s some good news for speed demons: The Karting Arena has opened its second track at Jurong so you can chase thrilling speeds without risking demerit points and speeding tickets.

Launched on 27th August 2021, the brand new go-kart facility will take up 153,000 square feet, which is the size of roughly three football fields. Prices start from $25/session and you don’t need a driver’s license to participate!

Race top-of-the-line karts through 11 track turns

Go-karts are one way to live out your GTA, Need For Speed or Herbie dreams. Let loose at The Karting Arena Jurong with their fleet of speedy BirelArt petroleum go-karts. Pros may recognise these as top-of-the-line in the industry, flexing some of the safest and lightest karts available.

Consider this a step up from your Daytona days: Other than feeling the wind in your hair, the track is also large enough to fit up to 30 people to race at one go, thanks to their super-wide >10M track width.

Speeds of up to 50KM/H with single and double seater karts

Upon entering the attraction, you’ll be greeted at the reception area where you’ll have to register for the ride and select your race type.

Single go-kart

Adrenaline junkies won’t be disappointed here with their Fun Karting Experience. Go on a whirlwind ride around the tracks at speeds of up to 30KM/H, or 50KM/H if you’ve got a driver’s license to show. Sessions are priced from $25 for 10 minutes, which gives you roughly 10-12 laps around the track.

Other than the single karts, there’ll also be double seaters with one dummy wheel, perfect for parent-child duos. These karts will only be available later this year so stay tuned to their website for more information.

Organise a professional F1-like race

To manifest your Formula 1 dreams into reality, consider organising a Grand Prix race. With a race control room, trace cameras and even a viewing gallery for supporters, serious racers can pit themselves against up to 14 other aspiring Vin Diesels in a proper match to crown a champion.

Available for folks 14 years and above, the race session comes complete with a practice round, qualifying session and a final lap race to emulate a pro-racer experience. Prices begin from $140 per racer.

Night driving is also available for an added challenge, with the arena open till 9PM daily except on Mondays.

Safety measures and gears

All racers will be provided with a snazzy helmet available in a wide range of sizes – from S to XXL – that are cleaned between rides with a UV disinfecting machine. Hair nets and rubber bands will also be provided, both for hygiene reasons and for keeping any long stands out of the way as you zip around the tracks.

Other safety measures include barriers similar to the ones installed into F1 circuits, CCTVs around the track and a remote stop master control system that can stop all the go-karts on track in case of an emergency.

Complimentary lockers are also provided so you can stow all your belongings away safely during your race.
