The Isle of Man 1990 Formula E Superkart Grand Prix Final with on board camera footage
I raced in this race , managed to get a 6th place . It was my second year in 250E karts and I loved it. The hardest thing was the jump on the Peel cross roads , boy it was sore on your back , no suspension! The peel event was stopped a few years later as someone was killed. A local young lady! I remember her at the Andreas kart circuit each meeting but did not know here personally. How sad.
NIGEL MANSEL, DAVID COULTHARD BOTH TRIED THIS AND SAID IT IS THE SCARIEST EXPERIENCE OF THEIR LIFE. THIS IS A REAL MANS SPORT AND NOT FOR THE FAINTHEARTED.

Bit of a random question, but don’t suppose you are the person I met in Perth today ? So wish I’d got your name ,
2020 anyone however, how the top speed that kart
The beauty of kart racing is that you can be a 7 year old racing 50cc karts or a 70 year old doing 160 mph on a 250cc death machine. It's one of the only forms of racing where anyone can join.
HI ALAN great vid type my name in on youtube wayne purches to watch my bike vids how u all been
Hi Alan , no facebook account sorry , just Tube account at jpwilliam batmalle . Best Regards W .
Wohl das "Härteste" Kartrennen der welt?
Hi Alan lam all right !!! l have 69 old now , no more racing , just some track day with Subaru modified Passion ,passion !!! lam very happy to meet you .If you looking some personnals o videos on my you tube site : jpwilliambatmalle See you mate ...
Hi William, pleased to hear you keeping well m8, good to be back in touch again my friend, do you have facebook account?
Hello Alan !!!!
Hi William, hope you keeping well, its been a long time, are you still racing?
My favorite part is the cam close to the pedals/feet racing with 150mph through narrow streets, every bump means airtime and I wonder if someone could reconstruct your legs at an impact at 30mph... I raced karts but 125cc max that go maybe up to 90mph max. We had one circuit with bumps like that. It sucks so much and eats parts for brakefast. I'd still try and take one of those to the nordschleife. That would be my way to go out in style. I'd add a front wing...
my dad has skill
I have a 1989 zip arrow with a rotax 257 motor. Amazing power, but will kill you if you take your eye off the ball for even a split second!
so whats it like in one of these?
Galen Nazareno Like a ride on a bullet.
From Wiki: Powered by a 2-stroke 250 cc engine producing 62 hp for an overall weight including the driver of 205 kilograms, Superkarts have a power/weight ratio of 440 hp/tonne (330 W/kg)(c.5 lbs/hp). Superkarts can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).[8] Their low weight and good downforce make for excellent cornering[9] and braking abilities.[10] A Superkart is capable of braking from 100 mph (160 km/h) to standstill in around 2 seconds, and taking corners at nearly 3 g (30 m/s²). Bloodyhell!
That's the single cylinder machines, the 250 Formula E's are 250 twin, 80+bhp and up to 180mph depending on final drive ratio.
ive an anderson cr250 , not sure i did the right thing buying it now LOL! cant wait to get it out
+Mark Faulkner These are excellent karts. I will like to drive one of these...
Do those things have any kind of suspension? The camera kinda look like it's a back-breaking expirience.
I hear these karts can reach at least 160 mph
Yes that's true, in 1986 I was invited with 9 other superkart drivers from all over the world including the great Martin Hines, to do a 3 lap demonstration run at the Formula 1 British GP. On our 2nd flying lap we were all individually electronically clocked in excess of 160mph near to the end of Hanger Straight. we were all using Rotax Twin Cylinder 256 90hp motors, (not the little single cylinder 66hp motors that the young pretenders use today lol) & some of us our flying lap times would have out qualified some of the slower F1's on the day! & we were visibly far quicker through the newly establish Luffield Complex than the F1s on the day.
Alan Pritchard that’s absolutely amazing. You must have so many amazing stories.
with balls that big who needs downforce?
That was a clumsy pass by that dude at the end.
Why would anyone want to be Hamilton ( an average driver)?
hello mate, just wondering if you knew someone called Roger Goff. think he was on that number 5 kart?? might of finshed 3rd??
Roger Goff did race at the IOM GP one year, but didn't finish, Roger was one of the Greats IMO, and a real nice guy & fantastic engine tuner, we were racing pals & both enjoyed a beer together on many occasions lol...He's now working for one of the F1 teams I last heard...
Yes Roger Goff, is a great guy, and extremely quick, certainly one of the very best n fastest drivers in his day, Roger and I drank many beers together lol, normally the night before the final and both got tested in Le mans world championship one year lol
Btw Roger never finished the race that year, something broken on his kart, luckily for me lol xx
You sir have balls the diameter of a pie!!!
Hi Im a Hobby karter & im thinking on movin on up to the geared 250cc engine but im weary of the engine due to gear changing i've never driven a manual engine before but have know how in in racing lines etc... could u enlighten me with more details of shifter karts
Hvc 5
that is awesome! your really cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow man, you are amazing.. I know that it is obviously built up over time, but man that looks scary as hell.
Not the smoothest surface ever.
either way. i take my hat for you. excellent. do you have any pictures you can share ?
My rival “John Denton” actually passed the chequered flag just in front of me at the very end of the race (please see the closing stages of the race).
Your the man
I remember John Denton from the early 90's at the British Kart GP's at Silverstone. Names like Martin Hines, Perry Gronstra, Stuart Mead etc too .... great days
this has to be the most dangerous form of racing ive ever seen... moto gp is safer than this.
brings back memories
noce karts!!!
yes...so being if u fuck up ur either fucked up or dead
If one would hit a curb at like 100 mph or something, wouldn't that means instant death?
@manorcraft64 That's what it's all about! Having a good time!
Wish they still did the peel racing </3
Do they still race these things? There pretty awesome karts would love to have a go in one
I have race 125 laydowns now for 10 years, this is real racing, until you shift gears you have no idea how intense this is. This will prove a real driver!
now thats insane. really amazing driving
F1 guys should be evaluated for Formula E, they'd be noobs compared to these guys!
@Wizzes1 What were you reading some google articles 0-60 3 second are possible with 150cc....
That commentator is awesome!
The Comer engine used for cadets was 60cc
@Wizzes1 i used to race cadet 50cc and later on i did some tkm100 in the uk, i remeber watching these guys at my local circuit and just thinking holy shit thats fast!!! especially when you're arse is only an inch off the ground!!!
Just toss a Yamaha banshee 350 twin in a ordinary kart and see what it does
i just done my first race in tkm at the weekend n i woke up covered in bruises. imagine how bad it would be after your first run out in one of them :P and thats before i even think about doin it round peel haha. its amazing how they learn to take the impact and g fprce pf the corners coz i assume they are just standed fiberglass kart seats?
@5959512 About 15k for a quick twin engine and 5k for a chassis
@wogga8 even 90hp is fucking bananas! how much do these things cost???
@5959512 Well I guess that your car doesnt make 18000 RPM ;-)
