That was a pleasure to watch. Very accurate, very precise… a joy. Jackie Stewart always said the quietest way around a circuit is the fastest. You have just proven that. Not rushing, just getting on with it. Very well driven. Haven’t raced 250 karts since 93’. As a old bastard it’s beyond my now but I would have been proud of that drive you displayed. Well done. 👍🇦🇺
The good old days of 50 plus Superkarts flat out down hanger strait at Silverstone the 80 were the high of Super Karts RIP Martin Hines a true visionary and will always be Mr Superkarts
125's are fast AF and the g-forces are unreal. When I had my TaG kart I always wondered what a super kart would be like, but you know what? I had plenty of fun in my 125.
I was born there and have been around that track hundreds of time but never that fast ! To give you an idea, the lap record is 1.20 with an F3000 (A. Zanardi)
I drove (very briefly!) a kart years ago that had been fitted with an ex-factory Suzuki RGB500 engine. I knew it would be potent when I had to wear an ignition lanyard, but nothing could have prepared me for just how insane it was! I raced for years so don't scare easily, but this kart truly frightened me. The power delivery was so fierce and abrupt that I did a couple of laps and gave it back to the owner! He drove it like a good 'un.....
The vibration on these karts is crazy insane. I'm sure these guy hands would be numb after the race. These guys are no joke, Definitely up there with the F1 guys.
I had various race Karts back in the 1960s and 1970s.I started with a Homelite KL 100 powered sprint kart,then a Rupp Chaparral with McCullough MC-93 and later MC-101 engines.My final Kart was a Margay C open class enduro kart with 2 Komet K99 B-Bomb engines,which topped out at 160 mph at Daytona.Karts with enclosed bodies like yours were called FKE class back then in the late 1970s.
I used to run twin 100cc controlled motors... open practice was the norm, back then the 440cc rotex ruled the track. Now banned these 250s are fast but I remember doing 140mph heading to turn 12 at Road America and get absolutely spoked by a 440 doing upper 160-170
Yah, I forgot about that. I can see that on smaller kart tracks where things happen super fast but these things are more like cars and at these speeds I think I’d like to see what’s behind me.
@JonathanRinny ... glad your paying just enough attention to realize it’s in KM, but not enough attention to realize I converted 225 KM/per hour to 140 MPH.
I raced open wheeled modifieds and still pit for a class team.. Peter, that was smooth as glass, super fast, you and that cart together as one was a Class Act.. I got to get one under my butt... Rite-on
Mantap ni,kena upgraded papan tanda selekoh kiri dan kanan bagi jelas baru stim...kan?..next,I like it...untuk elak kamu pusingkan kepala ketika berlumba modified side mirror letakkan di helmet terus senang...kan?..
Sa me rappelle quant mon pere me fabriquer des karting dommage que je n est pas pue continuer à cause de bc de problème familiaux divorcé mort et j en passe mais j etait souvent sur le podium dommage j avait sûrement un avenir en course mais ça demande telement d argent qu une fois mes parents séparer adieux les courses et quand j ai perdu mon pere a l age de 16 ans et ma mere a 27 je me défouler en drift ou courses de rue dans paris dans les années 80 pas de caméra et les schimt trop faciles à les larger la bonnes et mauvaise époque
I'm just starting to learn of these Superkarts.Yours is the first I've seen.143mph+?(Fastest I've seen 'til now was about 80mph.Fastest I've BEEN is about 55 and squirrely as Hell,lol).Damn,you got balls,but I guess you'd have to leave them at the pits,lol.Wouldn't want mine swingin' that low and fast!.Thank You for sharing and Best Wishes!
I would love to see one of these karts go up against an F1 car, on a tight track i don't think there would be much of difference on lap times. Yes the F1 car would win but i don't think it would embarrass the kart.
@@mattcorbyny1 Iveraced FF-1600, FF-2000 and Formula Mazda and the lack of seatbelts is a bit frightening. I'd have no problem running by myself but when I was mixing it up in a pack of cars I might be a be it less aggressive because of the lack of protection. Superkarts look like a lot of fun and doing is relatively inexpensively,.
Depends on your location. I"ve included a link to the NCK sanctioning body for thier 2019 race schedule. Note the various classes abd tracks. It's been a while but to see Wayne Rainey and Eddie Lawson in factory Yamaha powered 250 Supers running the corkscrew at Laguna will make anyones trash talking (barstool BS) about how fast they are stop... immediatly. Guilty! PS: Raineys kart did have very cool hand controls, and he finished 2nd about 2 lengths behind Lawson. Scott scottrodder1@gmail.com nckroadracing.com/schedule/2019-series-schedule.html
