Why karting
Karting is great fun and, at the same time, a real school for drivers. The skills and quick reactions you develop on the track help you behind the wheel of a car too: a feel for grip, correct racing lines, braking in a straight line and looking far ahead.
Many of the principles are familiar from the martial arts - a relaxed body, focusing on one point while seeing the whole picture, and moving along the most economical line.
How to get started
- Theory. Flags, track rules, racing lines and how to behave when overtaking.
- Individual practice on a karting track.
- Amateur championship. In 2009 the club helped with the amateur karting championship organised by Club F1 magazine.
- Gear. Start with a helmet, gloves and a race suit; then shoes and a rib protector. Full guide →
