Karting

Karting is one of the hobbies I do. Now im going to explain what it is. It has 4 wheels and most of the time they use slicks and for rain they have rain tyres. Some go-karts reach speed of up to 260km/h but those go-karts are called Superkarts. The rules of karting are just like in Fomula 1 but there is no safety car in karting. There are different kinds of flags Chequered flag means that the race or sessoin has ended and drivers must return to the pits. Blue flag means that there is a faster driver behind you and you should let him pass. Yellow flag means that there has been an incident and drivers should slow down. Black flag means that the driver has been disqualified and should return to the pits. And the Red flag means that the race or session has stopped and drivers should return to the pits. There are different kinds of go-karts one of them is a KF1 class go-kart with a 125cc 2-stroke engine with a combined weight with the driver of about 250kg and a top-speed of about 137km/h. It takes a little over 3 second to accelerate from 0-60. My favorite place to go Karting is in Cottonring it has a fastest lap of over 30.76s. My fastest time there is 32.11s and Lauri's is 31.27s this month. Well i guess that's all there is to Karting and anyone can start Karting they just have to remember to wear a full-face helmet.
