Slot Car Racing At Hobby East

IN Hobby East, Slot Car, Ninco

Racing on a circuit is every motor sports enthusiast’s dream. And even if you are unable to do that, you can now replicate your dream albeit scaled down in the form of slot car racing.


An exhausted but smiling Mr Lim said, “It is definitely not easy to win the car. It is mentally-challenging and it had been a very torturous experience for me. With no sleep, I was so stressed and exhausted and I had to plan my breaks strategically so that my five-minute break would help me endure the next six hours.” “Whenever I was feeling drowsy and sleepy, my wife would be shouting and calling out to me, to keep me alert,” he added. Mr Glenn Tan, Group Chief Executive of Motor Image Group, and Miss Florence Lian, Managing Director of MediaCorp Radio presented the coveted prize, a Subaru Impreza 2.5 MT sedan worth S$98,800 (without COE) to a surprisingly still-energetic Mr Lim. For the first time, this year, the runner-up did not walk away empty-handed. Mr Jonid received a cash prize of S$5,000 for being the runner-up.

We fit a Porsche Cayman S with a Borla® Cat-Back exhaust unit. Tested to produce up to 17bhp more and weigh 40% less than stock, the system sounds awesome too.


Fully stock inside and out, just the way I like it. Mk V Golf still handsome to look at and classy in its own right. After all, it's the car that put VW back into the swing of things - pardon the pun.

It was down to a 350Z or an R32 in my quest to own a V6. Both are great cars, but as I placed my mind over my heart, the choice was clear.

It may be familiar to me, yet the sound of engines roaring down the straights and the backfiring of exhausts popping on each downshift, always bring a big smile to my face.


At first glance, if one can get past the looks and drive this car proper, he or she will be amazed at what the Octavia vRS can offer. What we have here is a near clone of Volkswagen's highly sought after hot hatch, in fact you can call it a Golf GTI in guises of either a sedan or an estate, each offering more boot space than a hatchback with the latter being the roomiest of them all.
