I am in England, and I kart myself. I am just about to move up from TKM class (100cc, 15-20bhp, 70mph top speed), but should i go for superkarts? I want to do short and long circuits...
Depends a bit on budget. It is no harder starting with Superkarts if you start with a lower capacity kart. I would recommend investigating with your local superkart clubs and checking out the alternatives. TKM are a good starter class but easy to get stuck in to that, spend a fair bit of money and not realise that for not much more you can race long circuits...
I races a full season of it. Was quite good fun, especially Phillip Island, have to run in the open 125cc class but I was doing ok in that group, 4 - 5th....
bout the same as we ICC UK boys do in the UK's, we run with the 125 Open guys but as our own champs, last year i finished 5th in 125 overall out of 20 odd, 15 of them were Opens!!!
Just a question, what sort of times do these guys do, say, in comparison to the GP bikes and V8's around the Island? Also, what is the average age of these guys? Are they young guys who are super quick, or older (Mid 20's) guys who can afford to finance their habbit?
Specifically the ages range from mid 20's up to 60! Superkarts are typically comprised of people who want to go really fast, for not much money - and thats it. There are very few (if any) Superkarters aspiring to race in other categories.
I raced the 1992 season in a 125...

I guess that is two questions.
Cheers anyone.

It is around 1 min 33's - a Moto GP bike is a couple of seconds faster, V8 's are a bit slower... It is a mix of older and younger guys.
