Carmona Race Track is a permanent karting and motorbike circuit outside Metro Manila in Carmona, Cavite, Philippines.[1]

Built in 1990, a major renovation was completed in 2019 to increase the track's length from 1.020 kilometres (0.634 mi)[2] to 1.380 kilometres (0.857 mi) to comply with the Commission Internationale de Karting's (CIK) new minimum track length requirement. It was extended past Turn 9, which now turns left into a new sequence of right handers, then left again before shooting through a chicane that leads back to the start/finish straight. This now brings the total number of corners to 15.[3]
