City Kart Racing

I love watching Formula 1 racing, so when my husband went to City Kart Racing in Makati, I decided to tag along. I was bit confused when we entered the Parksquare parking lot and proceeded up the ramps. Turns out, the 7th level of Parksquare is where City Kart is located.

The place was empty at the time, it was around 7pm on a weekday. We waited for the rest of our companions inside the City Kart cafe and took pictures in the podium;

First Place!

When everyone came, my husband paid the fee of Php 760 for the pro kart plus the Php 150 registration fee since it was his first time to race. Racers can register using City Kart's state of the art technology. They automatically take your picture and you can input your details in one of their several computer screens, City Kart will email your race results each time you visit them. There was a short orientation for the first time racers on safety features, kart techniques and picking the right gear per racer. They have several helmets to choose from;

Clean and sanitized!

The helmet and gloves come with the fee. No need to pay extra, if you're a serious racer, you can bring your own gear. Finally, the karts arrived and each racer got in. Safety reminders were again brought up and off the track they went;

Track turns

For each heat, City Kart tracks the lap times of each racer. You can have a tournament with friends and the person with the best time is declared the winner.

Actual race results =)

For the racers companions, they can watch inside the cafe or at the sidelines where several chairs are provided. It's a bit hot inside the track and very noisy from all the engines. I opted to stay at the tracks to take pictures =)
