This is SUPERKART racing. They are 100 horsepower race karts, with INCREDIBLE power to weight and DOWNFORCE.

And they might be small, but they RAPID - holding several OUTRIGHT LAP RECORDS and being faster than FORMULA 1 cars around some circuits.

Now, they only have 250cc engines - that's a quarter of a litre. Yet they produce 100 horsepower! They are inline twins, and are water-cooled 2-stroke engines. (you can see the massive radiator behind the driver).

And being two-stroke means they can create incredible power with smaller displacement, as the engine is firing twice as often! The engines rev to 14 THOUSAND Rpm and run through 5 or 6 speed gearboxes.

Most of you will have been in a rental kart that weighs a similar amount to these superkarts - but they have 5 to 10 horsepower. This has ONE HUNDRED!

But one difference is that they don’t just brake the rear axle. Similar to higher levels of karting, they have a disc on each corner and super sticky slick tyres - with a similarly soft compound to Formula 1 tyres.
