Karting track to be built inside Turf Club

[SINGAPORE] A S$2 million karting facility to be built on the grounds of the Singapore Turf Club is expected to be ready by the time the Singapore Grand Prix is held next month.

Called the KF1 Karting Circuit, it will be funded, constructed and operated by Arina International Holding, a local contractor that is also involved in setting up the track lighting for the Marina Bay street circuit.

The brainchild of renowned F1 track designer Hermann Tilke, the track will be 960 metres long and be Singapore's first permanent CIK-certified facility.
