Looking for a high-octane activity that lets the kids get behind the wheel safely? Dorifto! has officially slid into Velocity @ Novena Square, offering a neon-lit, mountain-pass inspired drift racing experience that is perfect for young speedsters and Initial D fans alike.
Adrenaline-Fuelled Fun for All Ages
Located on the 6A carpark level of Velocity @ Novena Square, Dorifto! spans over 14,000 square feet of indoor racing space. Designed by professional local racing drivers, this isnât your typical go-karting track. The arena is dedicated to the art of "drifting"âthe skill of intentionally skidding through cornersâallowing kids and parents to feel like pro racers without needing a driving licence.
The track is designed to mimic a touge (Japanese mountain pass), featuring six challenging hairpin turns and a dedicated roundabout for those who want to master the art of "doughnut" spins.
A Slice of Akina in Singapore
Fans of Japanese car culture will find plenty to love here. The entire arena is a tribute to the legendary anime Initial D. As you navigate the course, youâll zoom past:
- A replica of the iconic Fujiwara Tofu Shop.
- Authentic Japanese road signs and yellow street lamps.
- Custom-made electric karts styled after the legendary Toyota AE86 (the "Panda" Trueno) and the Mazda RX-7 FD.
Safety First: Drifting for the Little Ones
While drifting might sound intense, Dorifto! is remarkably family-friendly. The karts are built for "spinning, not speeding," with speeds capped at a manageable 6km/h. This ensures that even when drivers lose traction and slide, the experience remains controlled and safe.
The karts are equipped with impact-absorbing bumpers, and the track is lined with water-filled barriers. It is a fantastic way for children to develop coordination and steering finesse while having an absolute blast.
The official height requirement is 120cm to drive solo, parents with younger speedsters take note: children below 120cm can ride together with an adult! This makes it a great bonding activity for parents and younger kids who aren't quite tall enough to reach the pedals yet.
Refresh and Recharge at the "Pit Stop"
After a few intense laps, families can take a breather in the spectator area, which is furnished with comfortable directorâs chairs. You can grab a themed drink to stay in the racing spirit, such as a Nitro Soda, a Touge Milk Tea, or the signature Dorifto Cola. There are also merch for purchase too. Itâs the perfect spot to watch other drivers tackle the hairpins while you prep for your next heat.
BYKidO Pro-Tip: As the venue is not air-conditioned, we recommended coming dressed in a light and comfortable attire. Mummies should also avoid dresses or heels for this experience too.Â
