Go Kart Racing as an Art

Many people think that racing a go kart is for children!!

What they don't realise is there is an art to this sport. Everything from what tyre pressures to run to the type of fuel all the way to what the driver wears is important as this can affect how the kart handles and what speed you can get out of a kart.

Also it depends on what surface you are racing on whether it is dirt or bitumen can dramatically affect how you drive and how your kart handles.

Children can start as young as 7 years old here in Australia and after that age is not a factor. They even have an over 40's class and in some clubs they even have a class solely for women. Ultimately it is not how old you are or your sex but how you race that makes the difference.

We will be posting different ideas to help people to get a better understanding of how to race a go kart, how to set it up and how to get sponsorship so that it doesn't cost so much.

Our latest creation is a 200 cc twin engine go kart - one is water cooled for the bitumen the other is for dirt racing.
