Step 1 : be rich

I went to Daytona Milton Keynes for the first time yesterday, really reminded me of how fun karting is since I haven't done it in so long. Hopefully will be able to make it a more regular thing, shame it's so expensive though.

365$ for a month of rental karting, I wish I could! 😂 That’s the quantity I spend in half a year. In Spain prices are usually cheaper. There are tracks which offer 3 heats for 30-36€, others are more expensive and can get up to 50€. And the rental championships are a great way to start. Usually, the cost is around 550-700€ per season, which goes from September to June. In Madrid there are some tracks which have their own races/championships, and the level is incredible. Usually there’s an amateur category and a pro one, which is where you must aim after doing 20-30 races. I hope these helps to some of my compatriots!

Some places in the world have amazing support for rental karting that there’s almost no point going into owner karting unless you want to become a real race car driver

That's exactly how to do it! that's how I did it, arrive and dive once a month. ended up getting better, met people who are now my teammates for endurance races. my budget for the year is about 5000$. that's about 50 hours of practice or 20 hours of practice and 3, 24 hour endurance races.

Indoor karting locally and with KTips community help the BIKC. About £40ish a month is a good starter budget for hobby karting

I only just started karting half a year ago and went karting every few months, now a month or so ago I made my debut in a local championship the AOM (Austrian Outdoor Masters). Now I’ve tried to go karting more often, as you said, twice a month or so. The problem is, my parents don’t let me. I already have to pay the start fees myself, which is 600/700 minimum per weekend. I tried searching for a job, but it’s very limited because I’m only 16. You got any ideas how I can finance all this?

It honestly makes sense the cost of 1 year of rental karting and racing is about 5500$ or the entry cost into owner karting. I compete in Sodi SWS! you forgot to mention you can also learn to do all your own technical work.

Budget wise, on Eefde Karting, the cost is 33 EURO for 2 heats (p.p.) So on average we pay 143 EURO per month per person, I think that's quite OK :)

One more Four-stroke engine championship It’s cheaper than rm, but frame the same. Chinese engine about 20 hp (tuning) costs about 300-400$

I've recently got into karting and so far I've only done a few races at Lakeside and Sandown Park. Where on the leaderboard would you recomend aiming for within the next few months?

My Parents wont even let me drive 2 sesions per month

In Russia it’s Go karting 20$ practice 10 minutes in club kart 50$ race Sport 300$ rm track day + coach (8 sessions x 15 min) 3000$ one race week class rm Russian championship (team and track)

At 1:40, that's Guy Sheffield isn't it? He was at Sandown too long ago!

Hi, I live in Qatar and Im wondering how I can join a karting team. Could you tell me more about that?

Atm i drive rental karting. Started like a few months ago and already setting fastest lap of the months and getting quicker then people that drive there daily (people who work there) and i drive indoor and outdoor and i try to go to a different track everytime so one week this one other week that one so i got like 3 main tracks i go to. Mostly do 3 sessions and that costs around 50 euros per 3 sessions. And thats just normal session if i wanna drive with competetive people its around 80 euros for 3 sessions. And races are around 100 euros to enter. I would love to get into owner karting but in the netherlands its way too expensive to get into that and i also have to save up for my future so yea that

Watching from Florida, USA prices seem similar here for indoor rental karting. Really only kart a couple times a year, but I’m considering taking it more seriously. Looking to practice for and participate in K1 Speed GP to see how far a I get. Would be interested in any input or personal experience on the topic from anyone who can offer it

just seen that some of my footage that i took at the 24hr featured here ITS SO shaky sorry about that lmfao

Hello from Brasil, very good content. Very nice track! Where is it?

So I have cerebral palsy which is a physical disability which affects movement (I don't care if people ask about it. If you have a question about it please asl). I do some sim racing but not a lot because I get board quick and Karting is funner but I don't know how to get on a team especially when there's not a lot of Karting places near me and my mom has to take care of a little kid with behavior problems. So how/will sim racing more help with karting. Also when I sim race I don't do races I do practice laps in a F1 car around spa.

Thanks The gut in the first corner Said fu## the Track limits

brother where r u from

In India there isnt many Karting opportunities and people supporting you

I raced only 2 times in diferent months, the first i was bad, spinning and crashing a lot, on the second, i didnt spin because of my errors but crashed twice, all the spins were caused by an dirty driver ahead that spun me 3 times till he got penalized

What you describe with Rotax seems insane to me. Those guys are going to go out of business with electrification in the next few years. Electrification is such a no brainer here, even more so than with cars. Batteries are so small you can probably swap them out probably faster than you can fill up. No need to do complex engine maintenance etc

Where are you based mate

bro im 13 and my parents just let me to go to teamsport race academy not more

Tires 250$???? Vega? Buy it in Russia )))

8:02 wait is that Lando?!
