01 The experience

What to expect.

HyperDrive is the hands-on complement to watching Formula 1: electric karts, a three-level indoor circuit and lap times you can compare with your friends. It suits a separate island outing with time for the briefing, a race and a café stop.

Choose a suitable kart before booking. Junior and dual karts share compatible sessions; senior drivers race separately. Sunday 11 October is closed until 14:00.

02

Look closer

Highlights worth your time.

The strongest reasons to include this place in your plans.
01

Timed laps

A novice session is the straightforward choice for learning the track and comparing your pace.

02

Game of Karts

Interactive power-ups make this a social racing game, with a different competitive rhythm from ordinary timed laps.

03

A group outing

Book compatible categories if you want to race together. Larger private or corporate sessions use the operator’s separate enquiry route; an ordinary bundle is not exclusive use.

03 / Before you go

Choose a timed karting session suitable for your height and group, then give Sentosa its own outing.

HyperDrive · The Palawan @ Sentosa

54 Palawan Beach Walk, Singapore 098233

Taxi and private-hire drop-off is at Beach Station or its carpark roundabout; continue on foot. Island vehicle admission charges may apply.

Sentosa arrival options

Choose a suitable kart and slot

Book a timed novice session and complete the driver waiver before arrival. Junior drivers need age 9+ and height 130 cm; senior novice drivers need age 9+ and height 140 cm.

Karting is unsuitable during pregnancy or with heart, neck or back conditions. Read the operator’s fitness requirements before choosing and paying for a session.

Choose karting sessions

Dual-kart drivers need age 18+ and height 140 cm; the child passenger needs height 90 cm. Guardians must register and sign with under-18s.

Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. Late arrival can cancel the session. Covered shoes, fitted clothing and a balaclava are required.

Advanced senior racing is arranged on site after licence and lap-time qualification; a novice ticket does not promise 50 km/h access.

Accessibility

Lift access reaches the Level 2 café and viewing deck, allowing non-drivers to watch. Kart driving requires transfer into a kart and the operator’s suitability assessment.

Ask the operator about your mobility requirements before purchasing. Viewing-deck access does not establish that a kart or restraint will suit every guest.

Dress code

Covered shoes and fitted clothing; loose clothing requires a rented racing suit. Use the operator helmet and a balaclava.

Participation requirements

The operator excludes karting for pregnancy and specified heart, neck or back conditions; participants must declare fitness to drive.

Pick the session

A senior novice session is S$46 and includes eight minutes on track. Junior sessions cost S$41; a dual kart costs S$51 for its driver and child passenger. Game of Karts costs S$56 with a senior kart. A four-person senior bundle is S$176 including four balaclavas.

Give the venue 60–90 minutes including the required 30-minute early arrival. Complete the waiver beforehand. The standard session includes equipment, briefing and driving; it is not 30 minutes of track time.

Match the kart to the group

Junior drivers need age 9+ and 130 cm; senior novice drivers need age 9+ and 140 cm. A dual driver needs age 18+ and 140 cm, with a child passenger at least 90 cm. Junior/dual and senior sessions are separate.

Advanced senior driving needs an adult, a valid licence and a qualifying novice lap, arranged on site. Check the current qualifying threshold with the crew.

Arrive ready

Go to Beach Station by Sentosa Express or bus 123, then walk to 54 Palawan Beach Walk. Cars drop at Beach Station or its carpark roundabout. Bring covered shoes, fitted clothing and a balaclava or buy one there. Use the provided helmet.

Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable; late arrivals can lose their session. Karting is closed until 14:00 on race Sunday, 11 October.

Karting is unsuitable during pregnancy or with heart, neck or back conditions. Read the operator’s fitness requirements before choosing and paying for a session.
