An
Introduction to Karting
Kart
Racing is divided into a number of different chassis and kart
engine types or classes which can sometimes be confusing to the newcomer.
Some of the more known or popular Karting divisions are:-
-
Sprintkarts
- Fixed gear (non gearbox) karts, used for International racing
on tight tracks.
-
Gearbox
karts or Road racing karts - used on the larger tracks, can
be extremely fast.
-
Indoor
Karting - mainly hire karts or restricted power racing.
-
Speedway
Karting - race on speedway circuits, often on dirt, can be a
great buzzzzzz.
Probably
the most popular World Wide, is Sprint kart racing which is mainly where
this site will concentrate, however we will delve into Road/gear box
karts as time permits. Two stroke engine sizes range from 100cc up to
250cc capacity, while Four stroke engines can range up to 14 hp or more
depending on track rules.
Karting
or Go-Kart Racing
is the "High School of MotorSport".
To graduate into the world of high-tech motor racing and become successful
you must gain the racing skills required and the best school for this
is Karting.
Check out the histories of leading drivers in any form of MotorSport
and you will discover that most of the best ones learned their skills
in Karting before graduating into their chosen field of racing. This
is particularly so in 'open wheeler' classes such as Formula 1 and
Indy racing. Also many Nascar drivers have been through the learning
curve of Go-kart racing.
Kart
Racing is the best and cheapest "Family Oriented" form of MotorSport
with driver ages starting at 7 years of age and continuing into their
sixties. Karting also has the highest number of registered drivers of
any class of MotorSport.
These
pages are dedicated to the promotion and improvement of Karting
throughout the world and to the serious karter or about to be racer
who wishes to learn and will try to help others to learn.
