Team building activity patterned after motor racing
MANILA, Philippines - Motor racing is a sport unlike any other. To go faster than everyone else and win, teamwork is essential. Like in the highly competitive arena of business, everyone on a racing team from the pit crew to the managers to the driver must work together like a well-oiled machine to ensure victory.
Recognizing these successful fundamentals of motor racing teams, CityKart Racing, a premiere karting and motorsports facility located at the heart of the metropolis, is out to provide the same fundamentals of racing with their exhilarating team-building events.
“CityKart Racing is more than just a venue to feel the need for speed,” says Jean Marc Freihuber, owner and proprietor of CityKart Racing, “as we also provide a great place to hold corporate events and team-building functions.”
Since 2006, CityKart Racing has been in the business of providing racing thrills for the motorsports enthusiasts. It only took a short while for many companies from BPO corporations like Aegis, fastfood giants Jollibee to multi-national conglomerates like Procter & Gamble to realize the potential of hosting team events for their employees at CityKart Racing.
“Holding a team-building event at CityKart Racing gives employees a unique taste of competition,” adds Freihuber. “Working together to win in a high-octane environment gives them a sense of teamwork and cooperation that no other sport or activity can provide.”
Before any corporate event at CityKart Racing, Jean-Marc and his team make it a point to meet with the client to plan and customize the race format and rules. This means that the corporate customer can bring out the qualities they want out of their employees by introducing elements like challenge pit stops to test their abilities to solve puzzles or perform tasks on the go, or on-track surprises to see how the participants react and adapt to unforeseen obstacles. These elements place an importance on strong teamwork and strategy in order to take the checkered flag first.
“It was truly an exhilarating experience to hold our team-building activity at CityKart Racing. The endurance race satisfied our thirst for adventure and allowed us to accelerate and practice consistency, reliability and precision,” says Rajiv Ahuja, president of the ASEAN & ANZ division of Aegis BPO.
There are many advantages to holding your team building event at CityKart Racing. Located at the 7th level of Park Square 1 in the heart of Makati’s shopping mall district, CityKart Racing and its 600 meter indoor kart track provides a safe and highly accessible facility for any event. CityKart Racing also features a full service bar and restaurant for added convenience, and provides all the necessary safety equipment like racing suits and crash helmets to match their top-of-the-line racing go-karts. Being in an indoor location also provides a venue that is unaffected by the weather outdoors, meaning that the event will start on time, any time, and that participants can race without getting soaked.
“Jean Marc and his team are always precise and very conscientious of our participants’ safety,” says Kaycee Crisostomo of Robert Bosch Philippines. “The elements of excitement, teamwork and friendship are the most valuable take-aways that every Bosch Enduro racer has gone home with.”
So, for your next team building event or exercise, CityKart Racing is here to bring out the best from your team and in turn, bring out the best for your business.
