Our Beginnings: A Story of Passion and Speed
Hot Rocket Racing was founded in 2021 by Terry Kuan. Terry started a small community of racers from his spark of Sim Racing, playing Gran Turismo on his brother's Playstation 4 during the the Covid Lockdown. Once bitten by the racing bug, he wanted to race 'for real' with gokarts and against other drivers. He invited all his motorsport friends and organised the first Gokart race right after the lockdown.
He then continued to organise more Gokart races every month in different locations in Malaysia while collecting new members to join his racing community. He also started a Youtube Channel called 'Hot Rocket Racing' and makes high quality video tutorials on Gokarting and other Motorsport related subjects.
The club grew to over 1000 members today and are now receiving big title sponsored to carry out the club's objective to train and look for drivers to go Pro.
