Carmona Race Track (CRT) is a 1.380 km permanent circuit located in Sitio Bangkal, Carmona, Cavite, Philippines and is approximately 46 km away from Manila. Built in 1990, the course has 15 turns and runs in a clockwise direction.
A major renovation was completed in 2019 to increase the track’s length from 1.020 km to 1.380 km to comply with the Commission Internationale De Karting’s (CIK) new minimum track length requirement. It was extended past Turn 9, which now turns left into a new sequence of right handers, then left again before shooting through a chicane that leads back to the start/finish straight. This now brings the total number of corners to 15.
Part of the renovation also involved updating of the curbs, rumble strips, and run off areas as well as the improvement all safety aspects of the circuit. While they were at it, the pit buildings and garages were all rehabilitated as well. But apart from these things, the biggest enhancement done to CRT has to be the asphalt resurfacing of the its entire layout both old and new.
