GO-KART History
Le KARTING
///

Karting is a great school of life for young people and the best way to learn about driving and racing. The best route for the future car Champions, Karting is also practiced by enthusiasts who devote all their energy to it. The CIK-FIA Championships are open to drivers from the age of 12, with no upper age limit.

Although the kart is basically a machine of simple design, the high standard of Competition makes it a very high level sport where ultra-competent professional teams confront each other.

The spectacle provided by Karting events has an intensity rarely seen in motorsport. The closeness of the track, a succession of races throughout the weekend, constant suspense and the beauty of the struggle for victory make it an exciting discipline to experience for both specialists and the general public.
In addition, karting is particularly suitable for live TV viewing and sharing on social networks.

Young Racing Drivers
Some start at the age of 4 like Michael Schumacher, Alonso or Verstappen.
But generally it is best to start at about 8.
Young drivers learn and race on special racing karts - simpler, smaller and less powerful, supervised and trained by licensed instructors.
There are classes for all age groups:
Bambinos for age 6-8;
Cadets for age 8-13;
Mikro/Mini/Juniors for age 10-17;
Seniors for 16+;
Gearbox for 15+.

5. Driving around the track, part 1 - 90 minutes
5.1 Sessions 1 and 2
First session is to familiarise yourself with the car and the track. Not to push straight away. On the second session it is time to attack, to brake late and accelerate more aggressively - to drive more in the racing manner.
5.2 Analysis
After each run the data from the car is downloaded to the computer and analysed by engineer. There's data indicating car systems, but also there would be GPS data and whole analysis of each lap - braking, accelerating, steering. Race engineer would then explain all the secrets how to go faster.
5.3 Changing car setup
After analysing data from the sessions mechanics would improve car setup. It is to adapt settings to the driver and to make the driver more comfortable behind the wheel.

Other RACING CATEGORIES
Karting is least expensive of all MotorSport and at the same time most effective in developing driving, racing and car setup skills.
But for a bigger cars (and bigger cockpits) enthusiasts - other open wheels and GT disciplines are available to drive individually and for events.

Racing tracks are usually located in the middle of nowhere, but the UK being a MotorSport home country provides variety of racing tracks everywhere, for sure there would be at least 3 of them within the 2 hours driving distance.
