Go-Karts
are state-of-the-art driving
machines, which are about 2
meters long and 1.2 meters wide,
with base height from ground
being just about 4 inches.
They weigh around 100 kgs and
come fitted with auto-transmission
gears. The 180-cc engines, manufactured
by Honda, Japan, are environment
friendly and can give upto 6
bhp.
The karts have single disk brakes
and the braking is linear. The
tyres, which drive these karts,
are especially imported, slickless,
racing-category, tubeless tyres.
They come equipped with an electronic
scorecard that informs the driver
of his lap time, speed and other
such details. Depending on the
length of the track, these karts
could be accelerated to speeds
upto 100 kph.
Considering their low base heights
and maximum speeds at this level,
go-karting is certainly no meat
for the meek-hearted! The go-karts,
which are used at international
go-karting championships, can
even drive upto 200 kph!

Go
Karting comes with a choice of
two race formats:
Endurance Race
Endurance events are ideal for
groups with mixed experience.
This format means that tactical
choices and teamwork are more
important than individual glory.
Each team has the option to decide
how often to change drivers within
the time period.
Grand
Prix
The Grand Pix is a very popular
event for novices and experienced
drivers alike, where individuals
compete in a series of races,
with a chance to qualify for the
grand final, and a place on the
podium.
All the meetings begin with a
professionally delivered safety
briefing, after which drivers
are able to familiarise themselves
with the track and karts in a
practise session prior to racing.
The format is usually as follows:
5 Laps practise
4 heats of 4 laps
1 semi-final of 4 laps
7 laps final for top drivers |
