We all cherish the simple pleasures in life — having brunch in pretty cafes, window shopping, attending concerts, and going 80 kilometres per hour on a go-kart. While one of these activities might seem out of place, go-kart racing is becoming a popular pastime in Malaysia, as we now have numerous tracks to choose from. Whether you prefer outdoor or indoor racing, you can find the right go-kart track for you not just in Kuala Lumpur but also throughout the Klang Valley and beyond.
