A friend who visits the local motoring forums emailed me a link for a new track that will open in December.

The site link is http://www.singaporecircuit.com/index.html

Has anybody heard anything else about this track and cares to share?

The track layout is found here.

yes .. this track is currently being built at Tuas West Drive and the developers hope to complete it by December .. a kart track is planned too ...

our members at www.KartingEdge.com/forum are looking to keep our karts there once its completed ... one of our guys is trying to work out a special deal for us ..

Just a quick forum update:

After speaking to Keith, who seems to be co-ordinating all the track issues, I learnt the following:

(a) pricing to be revised to a model that is more affordable
(b) initial plan does not include rental karts since no operator has been approached yet.
(c) if an operator is engaged, they might limit fun karts to weekdays and weekends to racing enthusiasts.
(d) wet weather has held up the completion of the track. Hope to complete by mid-January.

Obviously plans can change but this is what I know of atm.

Nope, not yet.

Though before the official open, they'll invite a few folks to try the tracks and provide comments on areas to improve.

Latest update: track should be 1.1km but as of this moment we've been advised to just check the website in late March, the track may be completed then or ... there is a possibility it may not be completed at all.

If all doesnt turn out as planned, there are supposedly another 2 kart tracks being planned/built in other destinations around Singapore ...

I dunno its hearsay till I see the additional tracks ... or if someone can confirm it, that'll be nice.

hi all

my latest communication with the owner/developer of this project says that the approval of running this track for karting is still in progress .... so I'm not sure if we will see karts running at this track ..

However, some of you might know that there is a 'super secret' project going on for a new karting track to be build somewhere in the west of singapore..

The track that will be completed will be at Jln Bahar in Jurong West. Been to the track few times looking at it it should be completed by end Apr. However , they need to let the tarmac settle before racing kart can race there.

The track is about 900m long with 8 metres wide. Hopefully , next year we can arrange a race here. I think you will like the track except personally I feel that the track has a bit too much corners.
