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. They are
usually raced on scaled-down circuits. Karting is commonly
perceived as the stepping stone to the higher and more
expensive ranks of motorsports.
Karts vary in speed and some (known as Superkarts) can
reach speeds exceeding 160 mph (250 km/h). A Formula A
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... |
