FOR WEIRON TAN, motorsports has always been in his blood. And after our brief interview, it’s hard to believe that it’s not gasoline running through his veins, because his eyes light up every time we broach the topic of racing. In fact, Tan has been enamoured by cars ever since the tender age of 13, and he’s never looked back.
This is why it’s so apt to see him running Evolt Karting today – a recent business venture of his – since it’s through go-karts that Tan would be introduced to the world of motorsports.
So what challenges does a go-kart operator face? And how exactly does his racing experience come into play? Tan shares all of that and more.
First of all, why go-karting as a business?
It’s not my first time, actually. I ran my first go-karting business back in 2018, which I had juggled with my racing career. And I sold that business – thankfully – before the pandemic.
Then the pandemic hit, and I got a lot of time to dwell on my future. That’s when I realised that the scary part about racing is that everything is unpredictable. There’s no real stability in motorsports, as much as you try to control all the variables on your end.
That’s why when the chance came up again to open Evolt Karting, I took it.
