i-City Karting Circuit, Kuala Lumpur (2024)

Designed and delivered by our team in 2024, this 580m outdoor rental karting circuit is located at i-City, Kuala Lumpur.

Positioned beside the Hilton hotel, the track benefits from direct visibility from guest rooms, while the illuminated layout creates a strong visual presence after dark.

With track widths ranging from 5.5m to 7.5m and capacity for 18 adult karts, the circuit was developed for efficient, high-volume rental operations. Particular attention was given to lighting coverage and race-control visibility to support peak evening sessions in Southeast Asia’s tropical climate.

Phase one earthwork and the initial track layout are now complete(2026)

Phase one earthwork and the initial track layout are complete.

The client reviewed the site from the air in his own aircraft — an aerial view helps identify blind spots, pit entry flow, and sightlines that are easy to miss on a 2D layout.

We’re now refining the layout using both the flyover feedback and upcoming survey data to optimize corner radiuses and exit lines.

Meeting FIA-CIK standards is only the baseline. The priority now is making sure the circuit can safely handle high traffic while still providing clear overtaking opportunities and good driving flow.

Outdoor recreational kart track layout for rental karting operations

Compact Recreational Track Review (2020)

One of my earlier karting track design projects from 2020.

The client had a narrow rectangular site with limited space, but wanted the longest layout possible within the footprint.

To balance track length and speed control, we designed multiple continuous technical corners throughout the circuit. This kept average speeds manageable and made the layout more beginner-friendly.

The red-and-white modular barriers also worked well for daily operation, allowing staff to quickly reposition sections after contact with minimal interruption.

Wuhan Outdoor Rental Karting Circuit (2022)

We designed this outdoor rental karting circuit in Wuhan, China a few years ago. The track stretches over 900 meters and follows FIA-CIK design principles.

A key challenge was an existing pedestrian bridge within the site. Rather than treating it as a constraint, we integrated it into the layout with two fast, sweeping corners running directly underneath.

This solution created a unique spectator viewpoint while maintaining smooth traffic flow and momentum for rental kart operations, demonstrating how existing site infrastructure can become an advantage through thoughtful circuit planning.

Reducing Peak-Hour Downtime Through Barrier Design(2026)

Peak-hour downtime is one of the biggest challenges for rental kart operations.

Traditional tire walls often require manual resetting after heavy impacts, slowing session turnover.That’s why we’ve been using modular spring barriers on recent projects. They self-reset after most impacts, reduce kart damage, occupy less space, and hold up well outdoors.

In commercial karting, keeping the track flowing is often more important than adding another corner to the layout.

The barrier system shown here was installed on a recently completed rental karting project in Vietnam.
