- Kart circuits
A kart circuit is a
race track designed forkart racing . There are several types of kart circuit, depending of the type of use desired.Circuit types
Short circuit
Any outdoor circuit of less than 1,500 meters in length.
The average length for a serious racing track for karts is around 1,100 - 1,200 meters, 7 to 9 meters in width. Normally custom-built for karting, they resemble road courses, with left and right turns. They generally allow sprint racing for both
gearbox and non-gearbox karts.Long circuit
A long circuit is defined as being an outdoor circuit of more than 1,500 m in length. Typically they are shared for other
motorsport and only have gearbox kart races.This type of event can see karts (
Superkart ) reach speeds in excess of 160 mph (250 km/h).Indoor
Normally for casual racers, the indoor circuits can be in any closed space (often old factories), sometimes with a short outdoor section to add interest. Normally they have their own fleet of karts or
micro kart s, chosen more for economy than out-and-out speed.In Europe, indoor karting is where most people will sample their first time in a kart. Indoor karting exploded across the UK in the 1990s and had a similar impact in European countries such as France and Belgium. It made a lesser impact in the United States.
Others
In this category fall the dirt-tracks,
oval tracks andice rink s. Speedway racing is the most popular form of karting in the USA.Locations
Karting is truly international, most countries have circuits where racing can be done.
