This is SUPERKART racing. They are 100 horsepower race karts, with INCREDIBLE power to weight and DOWNFORCE.

And they might be small, but they RAPID holding several OUTRIGHT LAP RECORDS and being faster than FORMULA 1 cars around some circuits.

Now, they only have 250cc engines that's a quarter of a litre. Yet they produce 100 horsepower! They are inline twins, and are watercooled 2stroke engines. (you can see the massive radiator behind the driver).

And being twostroke means they can create incredible power with smaller displacement, as the engine is firing twice as often! The engines rev to 14 THOUSAND Rpm and run through 5 or 6 speed gearboxes.

Most of you will have been in a rental kart that weighs a similar amount to these superkarts but they have 5 to 10 horsepower. This has ONE HUNDRED!

But one difference is that they don’t just brake the rear axle. Similar to higher levels of karting, they have a disc on each corner and super sticky slick tyres with a similarly soft compound to Formula 1 tyres.
