Fascinating Facts

Facts 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.

Karting was invented in California in 1956. Art Ingels, a serious driver of hot rods and a designer and builder of racing cars mounted an engine on a frame with a set of semi pneumatic tyres. A bicycle chain drove one rear wheel and it looked flimsy but it was stable and very, very fast. The concept appealed to other speed freaks and a group of them started meeting in the car park of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. They then went looking for a place to set up a road racing circuit where they could enjoy their new sport and promote its growth. It didn't take long for karting to spread around the world and it rapidly developed into a training ground for future Formula One champions. Grand Prix legend Ayrton Senna was a runner up in the World 100cc Sprint Kart Championships in 1979 and 1980. World Champions Alain Prost, Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell learnt their early racing moves in karts. And the front of today's Grand Prix grid, Michael and Ralf Schumacher, Juan Pablo Montoya, Rubens Barichello and David Coultard all started their racing careers in these incredibly manoeuvrable vehicles. And between races you'll often find them on karting tracks refining their driving techniques

Karts vary in speed and some (Superkart) 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.
