👏Thanks to Coningsby and Bourne Kart Club for having us - check them out here 👉 profile.php?...
You can watch how Callum got on in his first Caterham race here! 👉 • My FIRST Car Race! Cat...
THIS is grass-karting and it's one of the CHEAPEST motorsports in the world. These are 60-horsepower karts racing on a tight dirt track in the middle of a field.
We’ll be racing in slower karts in separate races to see who performs the best. The winner gets a go in one of the ‘scary’ karts.
These karts are MENTAL, running CBR 125 Honda four-stroke engines, five-speed sequential gearboxes and almost no weight!

Right is like you got the footage so a 20-30 min video is fine. Back in the day 5-10min was a decent video as this was basically a longer version of tik tok. Now days this is people main form of entertainment even over televison which we were used to watching 30 to hour long shows.

You guys should try the 24-hours of lemons you take a $500 and under car and race it. It s an American sport though you would probably have to get a car and ship it to the US or get a car in the US and build it there the only non $500 parts are the safety components like roll cages seats and other things the car itself including mechanical modifications and physical modifications again not including safety is $500 and under. It's a pretty fun sport if you have two days and a cheap car also the car can be anything except motorcycles and go-karts you can have a pickup truck a hatchback, station wagon a convertible literally you can have anyting that has four wheels

@jonathanlochridge9462 Жыл бұрын

Well, for something like this, all you really need are go-karts, a field, and a date. And also one of those liability waivers for people to sign. Athough, buying a go-kart isn't super cheap. Considering how much places with a track charge for rentals. The cost reduction for just doing it in a field would probably be significant. If you live in a small town, setting something like this up probably wouldn't be too hard.

60 HP is high but not impossible out of a 250 2 stroke, would require very agressive porting that would make it all top end however. Also depends if you count crank or wheel horsepower i suppose, before transmission losses 60hp is pretty reasonable.

I think it probably is the cheapest, it’s definitely the cheapest motorsport I’ve done by an absolute mile. I bought by kart (cbr125) for £700 I think fully built ready to race , used it for 3 seasons at all 3 clubs ,sold it for £300. And it had won plenty of races. I really don’t know why it’s not a bigger sport . Took my daughter to Wisbech last week to watch the c70s she wants ago , thought they could start at 5 tho not 7 😆.
