A renovated RPM Raceway Stamford revs up for Nov. 8 opening

RPM Raceway – whose brand spans the tristate, including its newly renovated flagship in Jersey City, New Jersey; Long Island; Poughkeepsie; and Syracuse – is set to reopen its refurbished Stamford location on Friday, Nov. 8.

The transformation features the conversion of the two preexisting flat tracks to enhanced multilevel racing tracks designed with LED lighting, fast straightaways, 90-degree hairpin turns, dips, drops, underpasses and spiraling ramps for an adrenaline-pumping, gamified adventure. The venue’s signature electric karts offer limitless torque and speeds up to 45 mph. The two new tracks span more than 1,800 feet of track length and can accommodate up to 25 simultaneous racers, including juniors and adult racers. On Mondays and at special events, RPM will combine both tracks into its signature Megatrack, one of the longest go-kart racing experiences in the nation.

The upgrades extend beyond the track revamp to the RPM Bar & Grill, which will also have a retooled food and beverage menu, including custom-crafted alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks and upgraded food selections with additional gluten-free and vegan options.

RPM Raceway Stamford will feature arcade and gaming enhancements as well, including the debut of the new Gel Blaster Nexus Smart Blaster and augmented reality darts in the coming weeks. The new immersive gaming experiences will track every move with infrared emitters and ultrasonic sensors. (Additionally, each RPM Raceway location has its own attractions, including immersive experiences, bowling alleys, state-of-the-art racing simulators, billiards and more.)

Said founder and CEO Andrew Farage:  “We are excited to launch this expansion project within our Stamford venue. This gamified upgrade will set the standard for the future of the experiential racing sector as both a social competitive and leisure-based activity for family, friends and colleagues. This multimillion-dollar renovation represents RPM’s commitment to doubling down on its existing New York City metro portfolio while focusing on national expansion.”
