Lac Hong University implements high-quality theoretical training programs combined with creating beneficial playgrounds for students to experience reality, grasp social knowledge, and create opportunities for multidimensional development. The "Lac Hong Go Kart" racing championship is one of the most beneficial playgrounds for all students passionate about speed and engineering, especially automotive engineering students.

Teams use 150cc generator engines provided by the university, and students independently manufacture Go-Kart (Mini F1) vehicles to participate in races with over 3km for each round. With the knowledge they have acquired, team members learn together, come up with ideas, and apply what they have learned during the vehicle fabrication process.
This competition is an excellent opportunity to challenge driving skills and experience speed sensations. Participants engage in thrilling races on the challenging Dai Nam track. It's not just about sitting behind the wheel, steering, but also about being skillful and observant to easily navigate corners, accelerate, and overcome the challenges of the competition.
