The karting world is the perfect way to enjoy doing what you like most if cars, speed and engines are your thing. You can compete on circuits, accelerate without restraint, pamper your kart and tune it as you have always wanted... But do you know how to start practicing this sport?
You can go to a karting circuit and start driving their vehicles, know the conditions of their engine and start rolling. The good thing is that it is very easy to find a karting very close to you. Just click here and see all the possibilities you have to drive a kart and know what it feels like behind the wheel of one of them.
In karting you can also ask about their driving courses, the competitions they organize or even how much it costs to pay a bonus to drive one of their race cars whenever you want.
Once you have seen how fun this type of driving is and if you are convinced to focus your hobby on karts, why not take the next step and buy one of your own? It is enough that it is a second-hand kart, that you can "do it" as you wish and that it takes you to live the best experiences in a car that you have always wanted.
If you opt for the option of buying your kart, to start with a 125 cc kart, it is more than enough to get rid of the itch whenever you want to drive it and, furthermore, its maintenance is relatively cheap because Unless you have an accident, it is more about the workmanship than any other aspect since dozens of little pieces have to be checked to check that everything is correct. Although to this you always have to add some unforeseen expense such as changing wheels or a rear crown... But in general, its maintenance consists of paying a little attention to the vehicle and checking it from time to time.
The most convenient thing if you have your own kart is to pay the rental of a box within the circuit closest to you and thus not have to transport the car every time you want roll it, especially because you have to have a rear ball for transportation, the cart to carry it... Unless you have an adequate space to store it, such as a garage, and you prefer to avoid the annual expense that such rental entails. But in the long run, all things considered, it's even cheaper to leave it in the karting. The first year may involve an extra expense, but it is worth it in the long run.
You can also choose to rent the kart whenever you feel like it and give free rein to your competitive spirit, without "regards". Of course, once you try your own kart (or someone you know), the driving will be somewhat "disappointing". Yes, it is true that it is much cheaper since the price of a kart would be equivalent to approximately 80 laps on a circuit, but the power that yours will have will not be the same as karting vehicles.
So if you are clear that you are going to get the most out of a "little toy" like this, buying a kart is a great option. As we told you before, a second-hand one is fine. Karts with a displacement of 125 and that are automatic there are many brands and models, it all depends on what you want to spend and how "new" you want to get it within this market. But to start rolling, buying one in good condition but not over €2,000 is a very good option.
Once you have it and start driving it around the circuits, your desire for more and more will go in crescendo. You will learn more details about karts, places where you can drive them, making friends within this world... In short, karts are engaging! And a lot!
