Re: Turf Club Karting Track
Hey, my man! I figure u must be a regular in the local karting scene. I only just started early this year and my fat ass has never really had much time to fully settle in. For local use, what do u think is a good kart brand for chassis factoring in availability of parts and dealer support? I got a new Interprid chassis 6 months back, but don't seem to gel with it too well. If I do bring back my karts, I will need new support channels altogether!

Nice to have a Plentong karter here. Its been a long while since I last race in Plentong. I have the same Intrepid Cruiser 30mm as yours and I don't get the grip of it too. Leo seems to do well with his Sirius 30/32mm hybrid which is a good chassis. You might want to give it a thought.

Hi Clarence, I remember how you like stats and logic. So in my biased opinion.. best team for you Veritas Racing (Zanardi karts). Reasons: World class karts and equipment, strong emphasis on real quantification (setups, data, laptimes, race results), huge spares stock, and one of the highest crew:driver ratios = max drive time (especially for people who value time heavily), driver and vehicle development using philosophies and processes directly from pro automotive racing of international standards.
Zanardi (Italy) - 5x CIK-FIA World Championships won in the last 5 years, 4 of which are exactly the same classes raced in the Singapore national championships. This year just a few weeks ago won the European KF Championship and the KZ Championship as well. Over 15 WSK International, European, and German Championship wins over the last 10 years.
But it's not so much about the hardware as it is the team that runs it and works with the drivers. So:
Veritas Racing (Singapore)- Quadruple national champions in just 2 years, despite being one of the youngest teams around along with youngest owners.
2012 - Master class national champions and 2nd runner up in Cadets 2012 despite only running that driver for a partial season in his first year of racing.
2013 - Triple national champions (Cadet, Junior, Masters) out of the total 5 categories. In a fourth category (Veteran), 2nd runner up. Not entered in the Senior category. So in 75% of all classes entered, Veritas Racing outright won. 100% of all classes entered, it fared no worse than 2nd runner up. All this was achieved in 2013 which was by far the all-time peak of karting in Singapore, with individual grids regularly 15 - 20 strong, with total drivers at 60-80 and 7 teams in total competing in races across the year.
2014 - Veritas Racing is on track to win 100% of all class championships it is entered in.
It's not just about racing either, since roughly half of its 35 drivers have never raced; they just drive for fun and enjoy measuring and working on driving efficiency. Arrive and drive.

Re: Turf Club Karting Track
Very impressive, Shaun! Looks like my search is over
I am unlikely to be doing any form of racing as my fat ass makes it way too uncompetitive for me. I am just looking for a team to support my equipment and provide coaching. I am in it for the fun When it comes to driving fun per dollar, nothing beats Karting!!!

Re: Turf Club Karting Track
Cool.. no pressure..maybe a year or two later you'll change your mind There are a couple of 90 - 100 kg guys on the grid. One of them is nearly 2m tall and he still has a blast, finishes in upper half of the field on a good day. Extremely efficient driver who at a more typical height and weight would be in the top 3.
