Unless you need a medical you can race immediately. 1 Kart Classes Explained Karting really does have classes for almost every age, size and ability from age 6 upwards, but sometimes the sheer number of options can be somewhat confusing. This pictorial display should help to explain. There are basically five different categories – Bambinos, Cadets, Juniors, Seniors and Gearbox for karts with gears. The non-gearbox ‘direct-drive’ karts only need to have a brake on the rear axle (although some top classes have a front brake too) whereas gearbox karts must have brakes operating on all four wheels. Most of the modern direct-drive karts have a centrifugal clutch so the engine can tick-over. Many are TAG – meaning they have an electric start button. Bambino Age 6-8 Cadet Age 8-13 Juniors Age 11-17 Boys and girls can start at the age of 6 in a Bambino karts. The only competition allowed There is no doubt that the 125cc water-cooled Rotax Max TAG categories have taken over is time trials, and only after an ARKS Instructor or Examiner has certified that the from Formula TKM as the most popular classes in the UK.

There is an MSA Championship. or X30 from age 13. All Rotax and X30 classes are TAG, whereas for TKM it is an option. Rotax are more expensive initially but the engine runs longer between rebuilds, so the Cadet Age 8-13 running costs can be less. The TKM’s are at the economy end for initial purchase with strict price controls. Top speeds in the junior classes vary from 55mph to 75mph. Boys and girls can start racing karts at the age of 8 in one of the Cadet classes. The best advice here, as in all classes, is to visit your local circuit to see what is popular They can continue until the end of the year of their 13th birthday, although they in your area. may be getting too heavy by then and so can move into certain Junior classes from the age of 11. The two Cadet classes are described below and are permitted to race MINI MAX 11-15 & JUNIOR MAX 13-17 together. All have a centrifugal clutch and a recoil starting cord.

  • [June 2020 – Shenington 2020 Restart Plans]
    Sorry, we are not having spectators during the pa News [June 2020 – Shenington 2020 Restart Plans] This is an important message about the restart procedures for Shenington KRC, please read carefully. First of all the log in to the Alpha online entry system is changing for many drivers, so before anything else set this up please on the new login screen. If you have used an email and password to log in previously, e.g. for the British Kart Championships, then that will continue to work and you won’t need to change. Or you may have already changed for another club. If you used your MSA/Motorsport UK Licence Number to log in then you will now need to reset to use your email and a new password. You must use the email that you have registered with our club otherwise we won’t recognise your membership or previous history. Ignore the password and continue to submit the form, it will then send you a reset password link for you to set up a new password for Alpha. Going forward you will now have a lot more convenience, see later*. Re-starting racing at Shenington: Shenington will restart racing on 18 & 19 July each as a one day meeting with extended practice in the morning then the usual three heats and a final. The 15 & 16 August meeting will follow the same pattern.
