When someone from our team mentioned Macoy Dubs as our next feature, I honestly did not know how to react. I knew him as the guy behind a wig, red lipstick, and a pearl necklace, doing witty skits online, and not someone who would geek out about torque vectoring or OEM stock. And since I’m not exactly a car guy myself, I started to work on this story with curiosity more than skepticism. How in the world did Macoy Dubs become this? Because if there’s one thing that people think of when they see his skits online, it’s not cars.…

But last weekend, I ended up at Top Kart Bangkok, and let me tell you, it felt like someone shrunk me down and tossed me into a track-day version of Mario Kart. And yes, I had way more fun than I expected. All that was lacking were my power ups and banana peel. WELCOME TO THE GRID From the outside, the place already feels legit. Wide…
