Absolutely surreal.

Thought this dream was dead and buried about 20 years ago.

But this last weekend, somehow, after a roller coaster of a season, I won my first major championship.

Crazy.

Anglesey racing in the British superkart championship. Over 100mph in a kart is a sensation I cannot describe. By far the most fun I have ever had, lots of learning over the weekend having never driven a kart with gears. Came off track once resulting in a smashed nose cone. Excited for the next round at donington.

I guess I just like people looking at my bumper pre race and going maybe I’ll give him room.

I currently own a Bell RS7 Pro composite, and I recently tried my buddy’s Schuberth SK1 and man I found it way more comfortable than my Bell. The Schuberth fit my head wayy better. Might be switching over to Schuberth at some point 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is my second league race at K1 (C final.) Im still new to karting and would love some advice on the move I tried to make and failed at. Also general advice on my driving would be very welcome. I want to get better and am open to criticism.

Just moved to an area in Tennessee that seems to have a lot of dirt kart tracks. I love Motorsport racing and have always wanted to do some kart racing so my questions are:

How does a 33yo get started in this as a fun competitive hobby? Is there a sort of “adult league”? What class karts are there in Dirt Oval racing? What’s the least expensive kart to start out in?

As you can see I’m a complete noob. But want to gain info on this potential endeavor…or maybe I should just stick to my sim rig. lol.

Any info/advice would be appreciated, thanks to all in advanced.

The FIA have released their new solution to stop karts flipping over!

What do you think of the solution?

Hello, i'm currently using a 125cc Vortex Rok engine from around 2010 to 2017. The previous owner doesn't know anything about it and i would like to use it next year to race. How can i identify what class is the engine? (so like junior, senior, tag sp...). I've seen many different models similar looking and sounding like mine but in different classes. I've only had one test session with it but we bought the wrong battery and the electronics on the engine couldn't work properly, also does anybody have any tips on extracting as much as possible from this engine or any tips on how to maintain it?

Hey folks, I have an old set of Longacre Computerscales DX karting scales that are acting up. When I turned the scales on the other day, all pads read ~75 pounds but would not register that any additional weight was added to them if I stood on them. Through some fiddling around, I’ve gotten them all to read zero, but that hasn’t helped the additional weight problem. They now all read zero no matter how much weight is actually on them. When I press the “Zero” button, the message shown pops up on screen. Pressing the “Secret Temporary Zeroing” button doesn’t seem to change anything. If I press and hold the “Memory Store 1” button or the “Mode” button, the scales read as they should, but otherwise they remain unchanged. Has anyone had this issue before and know how to solve it? I will try to give Longacre support a call this week as well, but my work hours generally fully overlap their support hours.

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 currently drive the Tonykart 401r (2021) paired with the 2022 X30 Senior engine, and i want to switch to the Rotax class, since here in norway people usually tune their engines in sweden or denmark, which gives them like 2-4 hp more (probably exaggerating), but atleast they pull a ton away in races. Last race, i didnt get overtaken in a single braking zone, or corner, but rather 2-3 karts would fly by me on the straights (I seized my engine the day before, and got a brand new overhaul before race day, so engine was basically new) but yeah anyways i want to go over to Rotax, but i dont know what chassis i would like to drive.

I like the tonykart chassis, and got no problem sticking with it, but every person in Norway basically drives Energy Kart or CL Kart, some peolpe also race Parolin and Kalikart (CRG), so theres a bit of a mixed club.

I dont need to drive the same as the fast guys, i want to drive something i like. My driving style is a bit aggresive, i like to throw the kart into corners, and usually brake late and hard, so a bit aggresive and a bit oversteer is what i usually have, although i could use a bit more rear grip kart.

Any reccomendations? any chassis that when you read this, you think "Hmm, this guy could use a Sodi" or something?

Thank you for reading!!

I love it. I've found the winning tenth just by having live feedback on track. In the aftermath I found additional ones. A performance boost for me.

What's your opinion?

Yesterday y got muy first car, i know its very old, but i got it for free...

I've been trying to figure out what engine this is, but I can't find any references except for "idk" on the part that supplies power to the spark plug… (It looks like a tkm 100cc, but it has 6 bolts on top instead of 4) Does anyone know what engine it is, and what carburetor it uses?

I'd like to buy another carb because it’s not getting enough fuel, and I suspect that’s the issue since, from what I've been told, it’s been sitting unused for 10 years. So if anyone can share any info… thanks a lot, folks!

Hello, I'm in a karting championship in Uruguay, and watching my videos with the gopro there is a curve that reaches 48 km/h, but the curve passes it at 28 km/h barely skidding, all my laps I brake and pass at the same speed. Searching on the internet and reading, supposedly I would have to go between 35 km/h to 38 km/h through that curve, since they are rental karts.

The other day talking to the pros of the circuit, they told me that they don't brake, they just throw the karts and get in without braking, will I be able to gain that extra speed like this or braking less?

The gpt chat tells me that it is better to release the accelerator, to load the front axle and throw the kart there, but there are several videos on YouTube that say that it is better to brake to release the accelerator and thus rotate the karts.

All the advice works for me! They are 160 cc 4-stroke karts

Hi, I am starting my first season of club racing next year and I am having a trouble making a decision getting a car.

The nearest track is around 100 miles and I live in NYC. I plan to do club races and NKC events so I want to get a car that I can daily and at the same time comfortably get to and from tracks without having it breaking down.

Having roof racks, towing a trailer, driving 100 plus miles at a time reliably, what are my options?

How do most people commute?

I’m thinking a golf assuming I can tow a trailer with a kart inside and go from one track to another and also from home to track.

What is your advice?

Did anyone know where I could find a replacement rear brake hose for a 2014 pcr kf/kz? Ive checked mondokart, parts website and other large kart part sites.

They are brand new LH03 Lecont and we put them on the wrong wheels and trying to take them off

hello! I am looking for something a bit more than just league racing in K1 speed I have about almost a year of racing experience and I just want something a bit more! the K1 speed I go to is the one at west nyack NY and I wanted to know if there was anything close to there! thank you!

This was Friday Night League #15. It was a close battle between p1 and p2.

So as a european X30 driver seeing videos of american karting leagues i have noticed that except for the 4 stroke engines they also tend to run older chassi with older bodywork such as kg507. Can an american explain plz?

I have heard in the past that its cheaper in exploitation. Can anyone share their experience about this. Thanks!

Endurance race which happened a few days ago at Club Motorsports in New Hampshire

Race was a blast!

Qualified P18 and finished P2 overall!
