RUD Karting at Sutera Mall offers a decent way to pass the time if you’re in the area. The place is clean and well-maintained, with the added bonus of a bubble tea and hot beverages stall within for refreshments. (No outside food/drinks allowed) The queue system is manageable but requires patience. It’s best to download the RUD app and purchase tickets online, as promo rates (such as 3-session bundles) are available only through the app. Tickets can be scanned and printed at the machine on-site. Expect to wait around 45 minutes per session for a 10-minute ride, though weekends tend to be longer due to heavier crowds. If you’re accompanying your ladies at Sutera Mall for beauty or wellness appointments, this can be a good way to “drift” your time. One drawback is the lack of a Wi-Fi password, which would have been a nice touch for waiting guests. Overall, RUD Karting is worth a visit if you have time to spare, but it’s not something to plan your day around. I clocked out at 2:45 PM, satisfied but not overly excited.

Safety rules and road rules were clearly explained. Wait was long but once the buzzer switched on, we were driving karts in 5minutes. In my zero experience in karting, I'd say controlling the karts steering and pedal was responsive and smooth, track had some small zig zag section, where we could pivot while still accelerating and that was a rush.

My family members got their adrenalin fix after a long hiatus from the tracks. This branch at Sutera Mall may be 'smaller' but it is definitely way better in all other aspects than the one in M*****. Firstly we were greeted by a friendly staff member who showed us how to 'book' the sessions at the self service kiosks. Then he led us to the briefing room, where helmets of various styles (think MM93 and VR46) were made available. Balaclavas are a must. Indoor track has balance of fast straights, overtaking zones and slower corners. Karts are power-packed and even the basic E karts can go fast. Entire place was brightly lit with a cafe for those who wait and a few insta-worthy karts for photo ops. Overall rating 10/10!

The staff service was great; they were welcoming and went through the safety briefing and cart operation clearly. The only problem was the incredibly aggressive and dangerous driving by other patrons. As it was my first time, I was trying to manage the bend when two male players boxed me in, coming simultaneously on my left and right. I had no space to maneuver and crashed directly into the barrier at full speed. The reaction distance was too short for the brake to be effective. The impact was severe, causing injuries that prolonged into the next day—my neck was affected, my tailbone was in pain, and I even had a cut on my hand. I immediately raised my hand to signal the staff to stop and let me out. These dangerous karters ruined my virgin karting experience. The facility needs to be much stricter about enforcing safe driving and should stop or ban patrons who display such reckless behavior to ensure the safety of all their guests. The physical toll and disappointment mean I would not visit again.

The place is perfect and so fun!! And on top of that it works till 2am. What a blessing. The vibes are so good, the place is well looked after. The whole area was divided into 2 parts: 1 - was a zone with Shisha, drinks and more of bar-club vibes 2 - the chill zone with Japanese styled cafe you can find as RUD Cafe, there are no drinks allowed, they said it was a Muslim zone. Service is nice, personnel are polite and extremely helpful. In terms of prices: I think, it’s good. Karting is not the cheapest thing to do, but worth every penny!!
