Answer 2

Go karting is a beginning tool for racers. it is enjoyed by people of all ages. the following is some offcial info on it. hope this helps:) have a great day:)
Kart racing is usually used as a low-cost and relatively safe way to introduce drivers to motor racing. Many people associate it with young drivers, but adults are also very active in karting. Karting is considered the first step in any serious racer's career. It can prepare the driver for high-speed wheel-to-wheel racing by helping develop quick reflexes, precision car control, and decision-making skills. In addition, it brings an awareness of the various parameters that can be altered to try to improve the competitiveness of the kart (examples being tire pressure, gearing, seat position, chassis stiffness) that also exist in other forms of motor racing.

Most current Formula One racers grew up racing karts, most prominent among them Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Fernando Alonso, Kimi Räikkönen or Scott Speed in the US. Many NASCAR drivers also got their start in racing from karts, such as Darrell Waltrip, Lake Speed, Ricky Rudd, Tony Stewart, and Jeff Gordon.

As well as "serious" competitive kart racing, many commercial enterprises offer casual hire of karts. Such karts are usually powered by small, detuned four-stroke engines and are far slower than the fully-fledged competitive versions

Answer 3

I used to do this a few years ago. The best thing about starting karting is that it is usually your first foray into motorsport. You don't really need any skills as such. You will develope things like your racecraft, racing lines and throttle and brake control as you get more experience behind the wheel.

You will get more advantage from your physical conditioning. Work out your forearms. You need good strength and endurance in the muscles in your arms. Also it helps to be physically fit. It is widely accepted at all levels of motorsport that drivers with a lower level of fitness make more mistakes on the track as the race goes on. And remember to enjoy it. You will be faster if you do.

Answer 4

Skills needed to just go out in a kart? Basically none... skills needed to go fast? Pretty much the same basic set as for any form of racing, though some aspects will be more muted since the size and weight of the karts are less (and max speed is usually less, though not always):

* Balance and control: You need to be able to keep the car balanced and in control, while at the same time pushing it consistently to the limits of it's grip. All the while maintaining your line of choice to a precision that will need to be inside of ~1" in accuracy.

* Vision: You need to be able to look ahead on the track. Your immediate tasks of turning in, finding your apex, and tracking out will need to be a matter of habit and reaction so that you can use the needed mental cycles to focus on up coming turns and traffic.

* Ability to preserve momentum and be smooth: competition in karting tends to be a spec competition where everyone has the same or similar equipment. To set yourself apart, you need to maintain all the momentum you can. Your inputs must be smooth and kept to the minimum needed to be precise and controlled.
