We’ve all had our fun at the arcade race simulators when we were younger. How about doing it for real? Spend Saturday racing your friends around a 500m course at The Karting Arena. Have a thrilling ride through 11 specially-designed turns that include hairpins, tight corners and ninety degree turns, and channel your inner F1-driver skills. The 8m wide lane even allows you to overtake your friends, just like in the game. Just don’t crash into the wall.
Where: 200 Turf Club Road, #01-01B, The Grandstand, South Car Park
