Race to Boracay

More than 500 kart drivers are expected to compete to the biggest motorsports event Manila has ever seen – the City Kart’s Racing’s (CKR) “Race to Boracay!”

The first major event of CKR this year, “Race to Boracay” is not only a racing competition but also a perfect occasion to meet and mingle with fellow speed enthusiasts.It involves four stages: the qualifying round where all participants will be given five chances to come up with their best lap time using karts fitted with soft compound tires; the pre-final round where the top 200 drivers base on their lap time qualify; the finals with the top 50 racers; and the grand final round where the top ten will race for the title of the “Fastest Driver”.

The competition is divided into two classes: Juniors (13 to 17 years old) and Adults (18 years old and above). Winners of each class will take home a 3-day-2-night hotel voucher and round-trip airfare for two to Boracay. Special treats are also in store for the two runners up while other drivers will get a chance to win goodies in the raffle.

Precision is guaranteed in the competition with the help of CKR’s state-of-the-art timing system which records lap times up to the thousandth of a second. So it will definitely be fun to compare lap times with the other contenders and find out exactly where you rank. There is no need to be in the track all the time with CKR mobile application for its timing system where you can monitor the numbers anytime, anywhere!
