Karting in Chennai

Karting in Chennai — circuits, championships, how to race.

Chennai has indoor and arrive-and-drive karting inside the city, with the major outdoor championship venue being Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore — the Tamil Nadu reference circuit. RRS supports organisers running structured karting events in this region.

What this looks like in practice

Championship karting in Tamil Nadu runs in FMSCI classes with transponder timing, scrutineering, paddock, parc fermé and championship points across rounds. Corporate and club karting runs on the same venues with simplified rules.

Where it actually happens

Madras International Circuit
Chennai, Tamil Nadu
Premier southern circuit. Karting runs in the support paddock; main use is car and motorcycle racing.
Kari Motor Speedway
Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu
National-level karting circuit for the southern region.

How to take part

For championships and structured events RRS runs in this region, enter through the Rehz Motorsports app — class, FMSCI licence, scrutineering, indemnity and payment in one flow. For arrive-and-drive sessions inside Chennai, contact the venue directly — that's not what RRS handles.

Who runs it (and where RRS fits)

Championships are organised by FMSCI-affiliated clubs and promoters. RRS supplies the race-ops platform and crew. Bengaluru-based but routinely operating across Chennai, Coimbatore and the wider South India scene.
