Karting: 60MPH racing an inch off the ground.

Karting is racing neck and neck at high speeds, and barely off the ground! That's the type of motorsport it is, and that's why it's more exciting than you think.

Kart Racing is:

• Fast
• The most affordable type of motorsport
• Something anybody can do.

Karts are raced all over the world, and if your in a fairly populated area, it's probably within a few hours drive to get to a track.

What Type of Kart is this?

When I first got into racing I thought the type of kart I raced was the only type out there. As I came to learn over the years, there is many different types of racing karts.

People may think that it's goofy or funny to race go karts, but with most kart engines they are fast and have very high power-weight ratios. They can compete with cars on some tracks. It's quite exhilarating..and a little risky at times. Karting is very strict usually with their safety and what kart gear is required to be worn.
