Adrenaline junkies, lovers of fun, or those of you who are just plain bored and looking for something to do with your friends or family – how about going out for a round of go-karting at these 4 go-kart tracks in Johor Bahru sometime soon?
There’s just something exhilarating about racing around on a go-kart (or even the luge ride at Sentosa), whether you’re in it to win it or being cheeky and annoying with some ‘accidentally on purpose’ bumper car action with your favourite people.
And while we do have go-kart tracks in Singapore, if you’re looking for *ahem* slightly more affordable go-kart experiences (thank you, exchange rate gods), plan a date and time to head across the border and get your heart racing as you whizz down these tracks!
1. RUD Karting (Racing Underdog)
Coming in hot at the top of our list is RUD Karting, also known as Racing Underdog with their professional 840m go-karting track with 16 turns. Especially great for those who often find themselves entering Johor Bahru at a later time, one of the best parts of this establishment is that it’s open daily till 2am – perfect for burning off those supper calories.
And don’t worry if you have no driving or racing experience, the Basic Kart (S$17.20/RM55 for a 10-minute session, S$42.20/RM135 for 3 sessions) is suitable for first-timers, goes at a speed of up to 60km/h, and you won’t need a licence to drive it.
There are also special 2-seater Twins Cart (S$23.45/RM75 for a 10-minute session) so you can race with your special someone by your side. The kart has two steering wheels so both parties get to steer, and can travel at up to 55km/h. For karting pros, the karting place also has more advanced carts such as the B Super Stage Kart and the Advance+ Kart for you to race at top speed.
When you’re here, you’ll also find their in-house cafe, The RUD Cafe and Bistro, where you can grab a bite if you’re feeling hungry before or after all that racing. Dine on unique dishes such as Frittata Swordfish Pasta (S$10/RM31.90) and Grapefruit Nasi Goreng with Freshwater Prawn (S$13.40/RM42.90) in the cosy cafe as you watch the karts race through the circuit!

3. X Park Sunway Iskandar
Open daily till midnight, X Park Sunway Iskandar is one extreme adventure park perfect for adrenaline junkies who enjoy a variety of adrenaline-pumping activities to explore. The 32-acre park offers activities of all sorts from mountain biking and motocross to rock climbing, archery, paintball, flying fox, ATVs and more.
But most importantly, here’s where you can also burn up the rubber on the tracks in your go-karts as you compete in a game of who’s first or fastest with your friends. If you’re planning to visit one of the more underrated go-kart tracks in Johor Bahru, there are different combos available with different activities packaged together for your enjoyment.
Otherwise, if you’d only like to go go-karting, then choose from the variety of go-karts available for a 10-minute karting experience with rates ranging from S$9 (RM30) to S$18.10 (RM60).
Easily race the day away or spend time at the multitude of other activities available – take your pick and have fun!

4. EnerG X Park
With a wide range of activities available from Trampoline Wipeout and Ninja Obstacle Course to Wall Jumping, Spider Web, Zip-Line and more, EnerG X Park at Sunway Big Box in Johor Bahru is an exciting destination for family and friends looking for a place to gather and have some fun.
There’s plenty to do here, including Electric Go-Kart where you’ll get to hop into a go-kart and zip your way down the miniature indoor track. At S$9 (RM30) for a 10-minute race down the go-kart track – with optional add-ons such as grip socks or gloves (S$1.50 / RM5) – it’s one of the most affordable on the list.
But if you really want to get a bang for your buck, we’d recommend going for the Universal Pass (from S$14.50 / RM48 during off-peak hours) that gives you access to over 16 games and activities available in the establishment.
