it's has been awhile since this track has been opened after it was moved from Premas Jaya, Johore Bahru. Ok, 1st thing 1st, how to get to the new Plentong kart track please look at this: http://obracing.sg/KARTING_tracks_Plentong.html very well done by some bro! next is the final 4.5km leading you into the track. it is a very rocky, ditches and potholes dirt track. see my pic. and as the 4-5 Swifts who try to go in while i was heading out last sunday... some are wonderfully lowered! and better still, ask one guy, who drove his S2000 with semi slick tyres thru the 4.5km. yes, he was preparing for a private track day on Monday at Sepang. very likely he has to change brand new tyresAGAIN just in case the tyres are damaged by the rocks. thus choose your choice of car wisely while going in. a Toyota Hilux will be one wise ride. upon reaching the track, the configuration of it is the 1.1km layout while the rest of the 300m is set to complete next month. see pic for track layout. take note of turn 4, which is the hairpin where many karters got caught out. it is because the straight before it is downhill from the Highest point of the track. speed is very fast so braking has to be either early or very precise. choose the former option to be safe. one karter was very very seriously hurt when he was hit by his fren. gushes at the elbow area are so deep that bone can be seen. both were in fun karts. see pic for the slope and the hairpin. all in all, this track is very exciting because as u will see from the track layout there are 3 straights one after another. u can almost continue full throttle for a long distance. then there is the 3/4 circle. finding the best line there is tricky. and neck is strained to the max at this stretch. well hope to see some bros, and sis there! cheers PS. according to the boss, he MAY get a space somewhere near the track so that in the future those who do not want to drive in can park the vehicle and he will have a van to get u guys in. well, let's wait lor
