KARTING INTRODUCTION

Kart racing or karting is a variant of open-wheeler motor sport with simple, small four-wheeled vehicles called karts, go-karts, or gearbox/shifter karts depending on the design.  

Karts vary in speed and some can reach speeds exceeding 160 mph (250 km/h). A KF1  kart, with a 100 cc 2 stroke engine and an overall weight including the driver of 150 kilograms, can accelerate from 0-60 mph in under 4.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).  It takes a little more than 3 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph with a 125 cc shifter kart (6 gears), with a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h) on long circuits.

It is the ultimate training ground for aspiring drivers and a great way to stay in tuned with racing while keeping the cost low! So contact Global Racing Schools today to get your professional kart coaching session!
