You have oval racing and road racing. Oval racing uses a go kart chassis called a flat kart, offset chassis, or speedway chassis. The ovals they race on can either be dirt or asphalt. Dirt is the most common form for oval racing. Road racing or circuit racing, uses a chassis called either a sprint chassis or road course chassis. The tracks are only asphalt and concrete.

You can start racing karts at the age of 5 years old.

The oval chassis has the driver sitting Offset of the center of the kart. This is to place more weight on the left side of the kart which is one of the key components to making a kart handle on oval racing.

 A sprint or road course chassis has the driver and engine positioned as close to the center of the chassis as possible. This helps create an equal load of weight between the left side and the right side of the kart, with the weight being equal this is a great advantage on the road course.

No! Unlike other sports, you are never required to sign up at a specific track or series. This allows you to travel between tracks and series, as long as your kart fits in the rulebook at the track you are racing at.

Rules can either be from a sanctioning body or series. The three main sanctioning bodies are AKRA, WKA and NKA. Some tracks have local rules as well. It's always best to contact the track directly if you have any questions on the rules you need to follow.

Kart racing is one of the most affordable sports that you can travel with. Your initial investment into racing will typically be your biggest expense. But both new and used options are available to fit a wide range of budgets: 

Used Karts with everything you need to start racing can cost as little as $2,500. 

Brand new setups start around $8,000, including all essential gear.

After your initial purchase is complete, additional ongoing costs would be maintenance and upkeep for your equipment. However, both new and used gear hold their value well, making karting a worthy long-term investment.

The cost of racing can vary depending on location and competition level, but at a local level, expenses are relatively low! At a minimum, you’ll need to cover your entry into the track, your race pass and fuel costs.

Typically, during kart racing weekend you could use up to a maximum of 5 Litres of fuel. Or for a night of local racing, you could use around 2 Litres of fuel. Total costs on average could be as low as $35 per race event.
