On TV, on equipped tracks in amusement parks or racetracks, you can see people racing in tiny open cars. It's a breathtaking sight. Almost everyone can try themselves as a racer. For some, karting becomes a passion for years to come.
Karting - what is it?
One of the varieties of car racing on special machines - karts - is called karting. Kart is a small small car for open racing, without a body. Its design consists of a frame on which a miniature engine, a seat and wheels are mounted. Kart can reach speeds from 60 to 260 km / h, depending on the type and class of the car. Races are held both on open tracks and in specially equipped places - at karting tracks.
What is the meaning of the word "karting"? It came to Russian from English (carting) and has two meanings:
- kart racing;
- platform for such competitions.
That is, a specially equipped track is also calledkarting.
Cart management - even a child can handle it
Karting is an activity for people of almost any age. It is not difficult to manage a rental (amateur) card. It does not have a gearbox, and there are only two pedals - gas and brake. Management is within the power of children, starting from the age of 6, although there are cases when even four-year-olds quite successfully tried themselves in karting.
In many cities there is a popular entertainment - children's karting. What it is? On fairly simple tracks, which are accessible to young fans of auto racing, children compete in races. For them, special children's cards have been created, which are smaller in size than adults, so that the child can sit comfortably and effortlessly reach the pedals. Such tracks can operate on the territory of amusement parks, at auto and karting tracks. Karting for children, like an adult, is a common corporate event.
Although most people associate racing with increased danger, karting is quite safe, especially when it comes to its amateur variety. The worst thing that can happen to a rider is bruises and abrasions, and that's unlikely.
Before races, riders put on special equipment. For amateur karting, the mandatory minimum is a helmet, overalls and a special neck collar. Professional equipment is also complemented by special shoes, a balaclava, gloves and a number of other accessories.
Sport or fun?
Let's try it rightclassify karting. What it is? A full-fledged sport or gambling entertainment? Both answers are correct. There is professional and amateur karting. The fact is that cars in karting have an almost official division into two types. Some cars are designed specifically for sports and are distinguished by a more complex device, increased power, and high-speed capabilities. Professional karting competitions are held in summer and winter, and races are individual and team.
Other cars are designed for amateur karting. They are called rentals. These are karts that are used for racing as entertainment. They have simpler controls.
Most racing drivers came to professional motorsport from karting.
Why do people love karting?
This activity attracts thrill-seekers. High speed, adrenaline, passion, the will to win are the hallmarks of karting. Many fans note that racing helps to relieve nervous tension, give a boost of vivacity and optimism.
Recently, corporate karting has become widespread. What it is? Like other events for employees of one organization, kart racing has a number of specific functions. They are able to develop a team spirit in the team, unite employees, increase motivation for new results and achievements. Therefore, organizing karting races for company employees has become a fairly common occurrence.
