How many go-kart tracks are there in China?
The first karting yard in China appeared in Shenzhen in 1985, but it was not until 10 that a karting yard was built in Shunyi, Beijing. According to the data provided by China Automobile Federation, there are nearly 100 karting yards in China at peak hours. \x0d\ If you enter "go-kart" in Google, about12,000,000 query results match go-kart, but quite a few of them are computer games about "go-kart"; If you enter "China Karting Yard", there are only 25,900 pieces. Up to now, there are 9 go-karting yards in Beijing on the Internet, namely: Beijing Longxiang Go-karting Yard, Laomei Sports Car City (opposite to Hu Axiang World Park in Fengtai District), Biaocheng (Weishanzhuang in Daxing County), Senawell (No.0/KLOC/West Third Ring Road in Haidian District), Guests (800 meters north of Liu Quan Village World Park in Garden Township of Fengtai District) and Shunyi County). However, these tracks are now completely abandoned. At present, Beijing Uc Sports Co., Ltd. has invested a huge sum of money to build the only indoor go-karting hall in Beijing-UC Go-karting Race \x0d\, which is located in the northeast corner of Siyuan Bridge, close to Wangjing Community and Airport Expressway, with excellent geographical location, beautiful surrounding environment, thousands of square meters of parking spaces at the entrance and convenient transportation. \x0d\ At that time, after Shenzhen and Beijing, then Shenyang, Tianjin, Tangshan, Shanghai, Guiyang, Taiyuan, Xi, Wuhan, Sanshui, Zhuhai ... Karting yards appeared one after another, which was a great potential to start a prairie fire. According to the statistics of China Automobile Federation, in the mid-1990s, there were 30 motorcades in China, with 130 drivers. These drivers come from three places across the Taiwan Strait, and a number of well-known drivers such as Cheng, Jiang, Ma Qinghua and so on have emerged. However, the owner of the karting yard did not take the popularization of karting as a mission at first, and the main functions of the karting yard were to occupy land, venture capital and transfer funds. Some racetracks died with the recovery of government land use rights, and some were farther and farther away from the urban areas, and eventually closed down because they could not operate. The surviving kart owners are the elite to carry out this sport, and most of these existing garages are concentrated in Guangdong Province. \x0d\ At that time, go-karts swarmed all over the country, which is why some people saw the advanced nature of racing and thought that as long as they persisted, they could earn the first pot of gold. However, the "intensity of burning money" of motor racing exceeded the affordability of Chinese people, and the racing market in China continued to slump, and karting eventually became a juvenile sport. \x0d\ Shi Tianshu, former president of China Automobile Federation, once said when he was in office that there were 100 in China karting track, and there were 3,000 or 4,000 drivers and amateurs officially registered. For China, a country with a population of more than one billion, the development potential of this sport is enormous. But when he left office in 2006, he still didn't see where the go-kart market was.
