KARTING – FUN AFFORDABLE MOTORSPORT
Karting is the world’s most affordable form of motorsport.
Many people associate it with young drivers, but adults are also very active in
karting.
Karting is considered the first step in any serious racer's career. It can
prepare the driver for high-speed wheel-to-wheel racing by helping develop
quick reflexes, precision car control, and decision-making skills.
People of all ages can enjoy the sport with children as young as seven
competing behind the wheel. Karting teaches these children, both boys and
girls, the basic driving skills well before they are able to obtain their road licence.
As is the case in all sports, karting is competitive, but it is also fun,
family-orientated, teaches driving skills, offers people an opportunity to gain
a career in motorsport, all in a safe and
professionally organised environment.
Getting into karting is relatively simple. You need to become a member of your
local kart club and start out on a provisional licence.
Buying a kart has also been made a lot simpler thanks to the professional trade
industry that serves the karters of
Kart race meetings take place at circuits across
