The weekend is coming. We are at home and we don't know what to do. Tired of the usual plans, what we can do best is opt for some adventure sport, but... which one to choose?
Don't you fancy some adrenaline? Feeling the speed, experiencing the excitement to the fullest, taking control of a vehicle with which you lose track of time... All of this can be summed up in one activity: running in a kart circuit. Without a doubt, it is something that you have to do at least once in your life...
In the market you can find numerous places to buy and sell karts, but it is not necessary that you buy one of them, you can also visit circuits where you can take a few laps around the track. If it is your first time, relax, since it is a sport suitable for all audiences and is very easy to handle.
Wherever you go, don't forget to have the specialists explain to you how to use the kart equipment: the most important thing is that the activity takes place with maximum safety and that you can fully enjoy it. Furthermore, we recommend that you prepare to experience the most intense emotions, otherwise, it would be best not to do the activity.
If you later decide that driving a kart is your thing, why don't you dare to compete? You can do it first with your friends and if you see that you have the possibility of going further, sign up for kart championships in your province or community.
There are different categories within competition karting, which changed a few years ago, replacing those that were in force until then.
- KF1 replaces the previous FA (Formula A)
- KF2 replaces the previous ICA (Intercontinental A)
- KF3 replaces the previous ICA-Junior (ICA-J)
- KF4 is the so-called "Basic" category
- KZ1 replaces the previous Super-ICC
- KZ2 replaces the previous ICC (Intercontinental C)
These categories use 125 cc engines., in which there are 2-stroke automatics, and single cylinders, the former without a gearbox and those that belong to the KZ category with changes.
As for the ages established by the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation for this type of championships, from 8 years old they can compete. There is no maximum age, so you surely have time to become a true Fernando Alonso.
Remember that The adrenaline will be guaranteed and there is nothing better to feel the speed than a kart race.
