Using four-stroke engine, running on gasoline, those mini motors are shaped like real F1 cars but smaller. The speed is also adjusted to 60km/hour instead of 80km/hour for safety.
The racing lanes, 400m/lap, 5,5m wide, run tortuously along rows of coconut trees. Old tyres and sandbags are placed on the both sides of the road to keep safety for players.
According to Mr. Nguyen Phi Hung, Head of Business Department of Long Phu Tourist Joint Stock Company, this service aims to satisfy entertainment needs of tourists, especially young people.
“This is the first time I've played this game. It is really interesting,” said Mr. La Minh Dung, a tourist from Hau Giang Province.
Long Phu Tourist Joint Stock Company held 2 internal races in order to popularize this unique game.
Enjoying the excitement in F1 racing lanes in Monkey Island is also a way to relax after stressful working hours.
