Racing Into Team Spirit at Evolt Karting
On August 23, 2024, the Advisory Apps team took a break from coding and problem-solving to engage in an adrenaline-packed team-building session at Evolt Karting, the No.1 indoor electric karting center.
From high-speed laps to friendly competition, the event brought out the best in teamwork, strategy, and pure racing excitement. The electric karts delivered smooth acceleration and intense cornering action, making every lap a thrilling experience. Evolt Karting’s indoor circuit in Kuala Lumpur was the perfect venue — climate-controlled, safe, and equipped with state-of-the-art electric karts that offered genuine racing thrills without the noise and fumes of traditional petrol-powered tracks.
Why We Chose Go-Karting
At Advisory Apps, we like our team-building activities to mirror the qualities we value in our work: quick decision-making, strategic thinking, and the ability to adapt under pressure. Go-kart racing ticks all of those boxes. Navigating a fast lap requires the same kind of focus and split-second judgement that our developers and project managers exercise daily when shipping software. The competitive format also brought out everyone’s determination and good humour in equal measure, with plenty of playful trash talk between races.
Building Stronger Bonds Beyond the Office
Beyond the race track, the event strengthened team bonds, encouraged collaboration, and reminded us that speed isn’t just for go-karts — it’s also about how we innovate and deliver solutions for our clients.
The session included multiple heats so that everyone got plenty of track time, followed by a casual team lunch where the day’s best moments were replayed and debated. These informal interactions are where real connections form — connections that translate directly into better teamwork back at the office. For a company that has been building software in KL since 2012, investing in these shared experiences is a key part of keeping our culture strong as the team grows.

A big shoutout to the team for their energy and enthusiasm!
What We Took Back to the Office
The benefits of a session like this extend well beyond the afternoon itself. In the days that followed, the team returned to their desks with a noticeable lift in energy and camaraderie. Shared jokes from the track found their way into Slack channels, and the friendly rivalries sparked conversations between colleagues who might not interact daily. At Advisory Apps, we have learned over more than a decade and 200-plus projects that the strongest software teams are built on trust — and trust is forged in moments exactly like these. Until the next race — game on!
