BLACKSTONE BELLE FORET MOTO ARENA
SOUTH KOREA
BLACKSTONE BELLE FORET MOTO ARENA
SOUTH KOREA
The Belle Foret International Moto Arena, is an FIA Karting licenced circuit that, when constructed, will be South Korea’s premier karting circuit with a total length of 1.5km.
It is the latest addition to one of the most comprehensive family fun and leisure destinations in Asia where it will proudly sit on the crest of one of the beautiful Belle Foret mountains overlooking forest, lakes and a picturesque parkland setting.
Apex were first commissioned to develop a Moto Arena equipped with an FIM International Motocross facility and adjoining leisure karting facility, however as we explored the possibilities and presented ideas to the client it quickly became clear that a world class motocross circuit complete with 20ft jumps and large dirt bowls would prove too much for your average family fun and leisure destination clientele.
With this in mind, Apex offered solutions to reimagine the Moto Arena masterplan, to deliver both a world class racing destination and a facility that could be admired and enjoyed by both national level racers of the highest calibre but also your average holidaying family.
The site will now benefit from a FIA Karting licenced circuit with supporting welcome centre building offering both leisure and race kart options. Adjoining the building is an enlarged paddock which is sized to support an International FIA karting but also provides the perfect space for car and motorcycle driver training. Once phase one is complete, our attention will turn to a second plot which will share both building and paddock space to offer a leisure offroad facility.
TESTIMONIAL
We procured master planning, motorsport approvals, 3D renders, schematic design and detailed design
support from Apex who have supplied the services professionally and diligently throughout. The design
they have produced for us is inline with the brief supplied and displays all of the innovation, quality and
creativity that we expected from the reputation that preceded them. We believe that the facilities created
under this contract will be fun to drive, challenging to master and allow us the ability to showcase visiting
brands and experience providers in the beautiful surrounds of Blackstone Belleforet.
Outside of the procured services, Apex have utilised their relationships globally to bring us value
where we least expected it, in the procurement of specialist suppliers/knowledge and in leveraging their
relationships with regulating authorities and race series.
Not only have we found value in Apex, but we have had fun in the process, which has been very
important to us given the restrictions and isolation brought about by the current pandemic. We would
recommend Apex without hesitation.
