Kartright Pte Ltd

Dreams do come true, if you want it bad enough. Kartright Speedway is the creation of Jude P. Benny and Allan Teo, two men who overcame all odds to bring you what kart enthusiasts in Singapore have been looking forward to. It used to be a golf driving range where the seasoned hone their craft and the amateurs make trying swings. All that has gone - along with the grass, the litter of white golf balls as well as the floodlights - and in its place today stands Kartright Speedway, Singapore's newest and finest permanent competition-length go-karting facility. Located at 511 Upper Jurong Road (opposite SAFTI, PIE exit Upper Jurong), it directly replaced what was formerly the golf driving range next to Arena Country Club. Five months was all it took for the 750-metre-long and 7-metre-wide technically-challenging kart racing track to be built. But beyond those five months was years of struggle, disappointment and eventually triumph that gave birth to the existence of Kartright Speedway. It was a dream of two men, who were long into the sport, both competitively and also at a management level when they were serving key roles in the now-defunct Karting Club Singapore (KCS). Jude Benny, Chairman of KCS in 1993 and Allan Teo, former secretary of KCS started their quest for a suitable plot of land to build a proper go-kart track that our nation so needed. Formula 1 came to our streets and made history as the first ever F1 night race, but still there wasn't a competitive karting track until Kartright Speedway first opened its doors to the public on 1 October 2009.
