City Kart Racing Makati to say its final farewell on Dec 31
According to Managing Director Jean-Marc “Jeff” Freihuber, City Kart Racing's go-kart track located at the 7th level car park of Park Square 1, Makati City will be no more come 2013. No, they haven't gone out of business. Instead, Ayala Malls have finally decided to demolish the historic mall in January which forces City Kart Racing, and all of its tenants, to find a new home.
While Jeff is tight-lipped over the matter, he did tell us that they're now busy working on opening two new tracks in the near future. They will re-open in a new location that's also within Makati by the 1st quarter of 2013. Meanwhile, City Kart Racing's second track will be situated in Alabang and should be up and operational in one or two months time. There are still no details on where exactly these two new go-kart tracks will be put up, but Jeff did say that at least one, if not both tracks will have awesome features such as a bridge, giant LED screen, and new engines.

For only P1,500, satisfy your need for speed (and save P460) with three (3) race heats and get a racing license and balaclava for FREE. Seasoned drivers also get a shot of adrenaline on the house, because whenever they bring three first time karters to CKR, he or she gets to race on the ProKarts for FREE. Finally, wacky racers unite on July 16 at the first ever “2 Hours Clock & Counter” endurance race.
The “2 Hours Clock & Counter” race puts a new spin on go-kart racing. 15 teams comprised of 2 to 4 drivers each will race wheel-to-wheel for 2 hours non-stop around the CKR circuit, but here's the twist: The race gets the green flag as drivers pull some quick laps in the clockwise direction. But after a full hour racing, they're flipping the race 180 degrees by resuming the race in the counter-clockwise direction. Moreover, teams are required to return to the pits for a mandatory driver change every 30 minutes. Test skill and stamina as CKR quite literally puts a new twist on endurance racing.

Four Hours or Bust: City Kart Racing 4hr Endurance Race
Words by Julius Yparraguirre | Photos by Christopher Kho
Every racer dreams of the moment when, out of the blue, a racing team will call upon his services to race. And well before his brain has time to analyze the situation, he hails a big fat YES! That’s exactly what happened to me when my good racing buddy Chris Kho, summoned me to drive for Kotse.com in the City Kart Racing 4 Hour Kart Enduro, sponsored by Vector GPS, last January 30, 2011.
Bring on the Battle
Endurance racing offers a different type of excitement and thrill compared to sprint races. Sprint races feel like a fierce duel; the race is decided in an instant. Endurance racing, on the other hand, requires a different driving discipline where the balance of speed and reliability is key. Nothing is certain in an endurance race except that ANYTHING can happen.
The venue for this race is City Kart Racing, a karting facility built in the middle of Makati’s central business district making it very accessible to the public. They've converted the entire 7th level of the Park Square car park into a highly technical track sure to challenge racers of all shapes and sizes. With corners barely fitting two karts side by side, words alone can’t describe the adrenaline rush you get racing wheel to wheel.
