Racing is Life
The go-kart track began operating on a trial basis from April 1, 2017. The eagerly anticipated G2-class international racing complex (racing building and reception center) was completed in November 2018. The green building techniques incorporated during construction combine sports, recreation and environmental protection concepts to create the unique “Racing is life” racing culture.
Lihpao Racing Park has three tracks: Lihpao Full Track, Cross-Country Track, and Go-Kart Track. The Full Track was planned by the world-renowned Portuguese racetrack designer Carlos Couto. Its 3.5 km length incorporates 23 bends similar to the street circuit used for the Monaco Grand Prix. It is the most fully featured international-standard racing track in Taiwan and the only one with a height difference of up to 5 stories along the track. The track is divided into zones named “Wind,” “Fire” and “Thunder” based on their respective attributes. The three elements embody the spirit of “swift as the wind, aggressive as fire, and movements like thunder” in motor racing. They also represent the absolute focus of racing drivers.
The circuit is being gradually expanded under the “Lihpao Racing Park” concept. The existing Go-Kart building, Racing building and Reception Center will be joined by a motor racing museum, racing-themed restaurant and exhibition/experience spaces for international car makers. Extreme sports venues are also planned in the future. The many elements of the racing park will provide the general public in Taiwan with an irresistible attraction.
The general manager of Lihpao Racing Park’s ambitions do not stop there. He said that future races will not be limited to the racing track either. Street circuits like those of Macau and Japan will also be held. These events combined with Lihpao Group’s hotels throughout Taiwan will form an even more complete tourism chain. The people of Taiwan will not only get to experience world-class racing events first-hand but also discover the boundless potential of motor racing and recreational tourism in Taiwan.
