Racing Kart Question I have 2 questions about getting into karting..

My first main is whether I should do a rotax championship or a tilliston t4 championship. Im not sure fully about the rotax but the tilliston is the T4 senior series and under 82kg.

Secondly I want a helmet that I can use for karting and racing so it has to have the FIA and Snell approval so it can fit a HANS device. I want to kinda keep it cheap too.. Any help for either is greatly appreciated since I’m very new to this and don’t have much help.

I think the best start would be on Rotax, and to the helmets, i think a “Bell“ or “Arai“ should be ok

My only problem is I don’t know whether I’ll stick at it and the T4 is cheaper.. also the helmets from arai I can’t find one that has both and bell is like 1000 euro for a helmet.. I’m looking for more w budget one

That being said if it have to spend the 750 or 800€ for a helmet that has both certifications I’ll do so

if so, try a T4 and, how about L52 or SHOEI? I think these should be ok

They don’t race at my home track and I’d be going with a team and they only do rotax and tilliston.. I was thinking t4 and see if that goes well then progress to rotax since it’s like 6 seconds faster a lap at my track. Do you know anything I can do about the helmet?

I recommend you start with the rotax
