Racing hotspots in Singapore

Wanna see some nice nice cars like Subaru WRX, Mitsubishi Evolution or Mercedes-Benz SLK in action? Here are some of the places where you will find those racing enthusiasts or speed demons dying for a race. Usually illegal, no, its illegal by the way, and they usually start in the wee hours at night.

99 Turns on South Buona Vista Road
# Nicknamed 99 Turns because of the many curves along the road
# It is hard to overtake on the two-way street as it has numerous blind spots
# Popular with drivers eager to test their skills

40 Tiang (lamp posts) at Lim Chu Kang
# Nicknamed 40 Tiang because of the lamp posts lining the road
# The stretch of road is straight and mostly deserted, making it ideal for drag races

Devil's Bend at Old Upper Thomson Road
# Old Upper Thomson Road used to be a grand prix track in the 1960s
# Devil's Bend is a particularly sharp corner that has proven to be a death trap for many drivers

Tuas South
# Approximately 4km of straight road popular for drag races

Orchard Gudang at Downtown from Singapore Flyer to Orchard Boulevard

# Street track
# Had been around for many years but revived in recent years after quieted down for sometime

Had you tried any of one of those? For me, I've only tried the 99 Turns, 40 Tiang & Devil's Bend with not really high speed.. :P
