    Some places in the world have amazing support for rental karting that there’s almost no point going into owner karting unless you want to become a real race car driver

      Of course, here in Brazil even the rental kart is expensive, a race costs on average the value of 10% of a minimum wage, however there are dozens of championships at various levels.

    I went to Daytona Milton Keynes for the first time yesterday, really reminded me of how fun karting is since I haven't done it in so long. Hopefully will be able to make it a more regular thing, shame it's so expensive though.

    I started karting when i was 7 jears old in the Netherlands. My father then bought a childen's kart with a 160cc honda engine with 9 hp. With this kart iparticipated in 6 club competitons with this kart. Now i am 12 jears old and my father bought a tillotson t4 Junior kart for me with 18 hp last winter. I might switch to iame x30 or rotax in a few years.

      Ja hoor, tillotson t4 is goede kart heel blij mee en ook heel competitief. En in vergelijking met andere kart klasse redelijk goedkoop. (Nog steeds niet heel goedkoop, maar dat is de realiteit van karten)

  • @OskartWild
    @OskartWild 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    365$ for a month of rental karting, I wish I could! 😂
    That’s the quantity I spend in half a year.
    In Spain prices are usually cheaper. There are tracks which offer 3 heats for 30-36€, others are more expensive and can get up to 50€.
    And the rental championships are a great way to start. Usually, the cost is around 550-700€ per season, which goes from September to June.
    In Madrid there are some tracks which have their own races/championships, and the level is incredible. Usually there’s an amateur category and a pro one, which is where you must aim after doing 20-30 races.
    I hope these helps to some of my compatriots!

  • @goobergoofygaming
    @goobergoofygaming หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just start by doing practice sessions, as many as you can, when you have enough experience, start joining sprint races. You could also join race academies, which provides you with lots of track time. Once you’ve done loads of races, practice sessions, and progress higher into your race academy, you can become an advanced driver and then you should be ready to join championships.

  • @chrisone8283

    What you describe with Rotax seems insane to me. Those guys are going to go out of business with electrification in the next few years.
    Electrification is such a no brainer here, even more so than with cars. Batteries are so small you can probably swap them out probably faster than you can fill up. No need to do complex engine maintenance etc

    I only just started karting half a year ago and went karting every few months, now a month or so ago I made my debut in a local championship the AOM (Austrian Outdoor Masters). Now I’ve tried to go karting more often, as you said, twice a month or so. The problem is, my parents don’t let me. I already have to pay the start fees myself, which is 600/700 minimum per weekend. I tried searching for a job, but it’s very limited because I’m only 16. You got any ideas how I can finance all this?

    • @OskartWild
      @OskartWild 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      It’s a hard situation to be honest. You must try to find sponsors through karting schools, local or national tracks, karting brands, or any other brand which wants to support a karting driver; etc.
      Honestly, I don’t see any other way of keeping with it if it isn’t without sponsors. I hope you can keep doing what you love, mate!

    I got into dirt karting with my mate's, which we run slicks on clay which there's ample traction with the right soft tyres, just completed my 1st full season, my 1st kart was a Arrow AX8 running a KT100 which I then upgraded to a Rotaxmax and now I've got pretty serious about it I've now upgraded my frame to an Arrow X1 for next season

  • @marcellans8713
    @marcellans8713 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Budget wise, on Eefde Karting, the cost is 33 EURO for 2 heats (p.p.) So on average we pay 143 EURO per month per person, I think that's quite OK :)

    That's exactly how to do it! that's how I did it, arrive and dive once a month. ended up getting better, met people who are now my teammates for endurance races. my budget for the year is about 5000$. that's about 50 hours of practice or 20 hours of practice and 3, 24 hour endurance races.

    I am just getting into karting a bit old but i would love to be able to even compete, it started out as my son wanting to try karting and race with me just to realize i loveddddd it. I subscribe and will join your community as want to learn more. This will be a hobby for me from now on, plan to go to different tracks as my local track is a bit short. Or if you have a video talking about types of tracks for beginners that would be awesome.

    im canadian but in the area i go karting at the cheapest price for the karts are $70 cad for 30 minutes, and thats not even talking about getting there since its almost an hour away from where i live, its incredibly difficult to think about how much i want to do it with how unlikely it is to really be able to. especially since im only 16 and finding a job in canada is just impossible right now, so currently im just doing sim racing and practicing there so hopefully ill be able to find sponsorships or be able to gain recognition etc, etc. this is really the only hope i have to be able to get into motorsports

    I get into it through formula student FSAE, i started to kart and gp to different tracks whenever i arrived a new city during travel. I began to develop a universal skillset/concept to be competitive right away when I arrive a new track and new car. I noticed i take much less time to be competitive at a new track than people who only do regular at 1 single track.
    Like i only need 2 sessions to get up to speed that can run for podiums at races while others will take more cuz they are too used to their home course

    Spending around £1000-1200 per month on Karting as a beginner is absolutely crazy money. Pretty much half to quarter your salary would go towards Karting 😂
    Unless you're planning to become a professional driver that probably wouldn't be wise. This isn't an opportunity I had as a kid but it's definitely something I'll try to encourage my kid towards.

    Atm i drive rental karting. Started like a few months ago and already setting fastest lap of the months and getting quicker then people that drive there daily (people who work there) and i drive indoor and outdoor and i try to go to a different track everytime so one week this one other week that one so i got like 3 main tracks i go to. Mostly do 3 sessions and that costs around 50 euros per 3 sessions. And thats just normal session if i wanna drive with competetive people its around 80 euros for 3 sessions. And races are around 100 euros to enter. I would love to get into owner karting but in the netherlands its way too expensive to get into that and i also have to save up for my future so yea that

I do some sim racing but not a lot because I get board quick and Karting is funner but I don't know how to get on a team especially when there's not a lot of Karting places near me and my mom has to take care of a little kid with behavior problems. So how/will sim racing more help with karting.
    Also when I sim race I don't do races I do practice laps in a F1 car around spa.
