City Karting is the first outdoor go-karting track in Malaysia so it’s a no-brainer to include it in this “best of” list. It was built back in 1997 and it’s still popular amongst motorcade fans and those who just want to give go-karting a hand.
Furthermore, it’s able to pique the interest of a broader audience because it’s open to both beginners and experienced drivers. For instance, drivers can rent one of two go-kart variations, with the first one being able to reach 105 kmph while the other is limited to only 65kmph.

Blastacars Malaysia should be on your list of places to visit if you’re planning on stopping by Kuala Lumpur. It features a great indoor Go-karting race track that spans a total of 200 metres—not bad for a circuit that’s located on the fifth floor of a shopping mall.
What makes an indoor circuit like this unique from outdoor tracks is that the floor is much more slippery. This allows for awesome drifting opportunities at every turn—Is anyone up for Mario Kart in real life?
Another thing we loved about this spot is that it offers different kinds of karts for different levels of expertise i.e. advanced, novice and pro. This being said, make sure not to choose something more than you can chew!

If we were to give an elevator pitch about Kart Hauz Penang, it would be somewhere along the lines of “Go-kart racing, but on a rooftop”. This pretty much sums up the entire experience in this circuit, which is pretty impressive considering that the track spans 80,000 square feet.
The track itself is filled with various twists and turns that will keep you on your toes throughout your ride. This experience is further enhanced thanks to the beautiful views that are available thanks to the track’s elevated nature.
