New race track to rise in Clark

CLARK FIELD, Pampanga—A motoring company will build a P28-million race track at the Clark Special Economic Zone, the Clark Development Corp. announced over the weekend.

Clark Development Corp. president Levy Laus said he signed a memorandum of agreement with Kilton Motor Corp., headed by president Johnny Tan, which owns the racing circuits in Carmona, Cavite, and Rosario, Batangas.

Laus said Kilton plans to host various local and international motorsports events and draw thousands of tourists to the Clark racing circuit once the track is completed.

Tan said his firm will infuse more than P28 million for the development of a 10-hectare international race track which will be used for karting, drag and motorcycle races. The track, which will be called the Clark International Speedway, is expected to initially employ some 35 workers.

Tan said Kilton will ask the Commission Internationale de Karting under the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile to accredit the Clark race track, like the Carmona and Rosario circuits. Another FIA-standard race track will also be constructed near the Clark Picnic Ground.

KMC, established in 1986, is also engaged in selling and distribution of diesel, gasoline and electric-powered equipment in the Philippines. KMC has steadily developed various product lines for its growing clientele and customer needs.

Tan, a former professional race driver, said the race track is set to be completed in July and several local and international motorsports competitions will be immediately held to promote Clark as one of Asia’s top race tracks.

KMC is also among the firms that established motor race tracks at Boomland near the Cultural Center of the Philippines in Pasay City and Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

The international race track project is in line with the CDC’s thrust of developing Clark into a viable sports-tourism destination.
