General Info on Classes
Something for every
budget...
There are 4 classes of superkarts ranging from the 125cc Non-Gearbox right
through to the 250cc International Gearbox Karts capable of speeds of up
to 240kph.
There are two main types of Superkart, Non-Gearbox and Gearbox.
The Non-Gearbox is considered the entry level of Superkarting, with the 125cc
Rotax adapted directly from Sprint Karting for the unique requirements of
Long Circuit racing. The Non-Gearbox class may
well be the cheapest form of motorsport sanctioned by CAMS, but it also
produces some of the closest and most entertaining racing, with
slip-streaming and constant changes of position in every race.
There are three classes of Gearbox Superkart, with engine capacities of
125cc and 250cc. Many of the engines are adapted from motocross motorcycles, while the 125cc and
250cc Twin cylinder classes are dominated by Grand Prix motorcycle and
Superkart specific engines. The costs are proportionately higher, as are
the speeds and excitement.
Needless to say, Superkarts offer the choice in classes to match your
budget, mechanical expertise and desire for the ultimate adrenalin rush.
