Kart racing or karting is a variant of open-wheeler motor sport with simple, small four-wheeled vehicles called karts, go-karts, or gearbox/shifter karts depending on the design. They are usually raced on scaled-down circuits. Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone to the higher and more expensive ranks of motorsports.

Karts vary in speed and some (Superkart) can reach speeds exceeding 160 mph (250 km/h). A Formula A kart, with a 100 cc 2 stroke engine and an overall weight including the driver of 150 kilograms, can accelerate from 0-60 mph in under 4.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 85 mph (140 km/h). It takes a little more than 3 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph with a 125 cc shifter kart (6 gears), with a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h) on long circuits. The word Superkart has traditionally been used to mean 250 cc engine karts, the fastest category in Kart racing, but also includes 125 cc karts that race on full size car circuits. ...

History
 1960 Speedcar, a predecessor to karting in Sweden Art Ingels is generally accepted to be the father of karting. A veteran hot rodder and a race car builder at Kurtis Kraft, he built the first kart in Southern California in 1956.[1] Karting has rapidly spread to other countries[2], and currently has a large following in Europe.

Components
Chassis The chassis are made of steel tube. There is no suspension therefore chassis have to be flexible enough to work as a suspension and stiff enough not to break or give way on a turn. Kart chassis are classified in the USA as 'Open', 'Caged', 'Straight' or 'Offset'. All CIK-FIA approved chassis are 'Straight' and 'Open'.

- Open karts have no roll cage.
- Caged karts have a roll cage surrounding the driver, they are mostly used on dirt tracks.
- In Straight chassis the driver sits in the center. Straight chassis are used for sprint racing.
- In Offset chassis the driver sits on the left side. Offset chassis are used for left-turn-only speedway racing.
The stiffness of the chassis enables different handling characteristics for different circumstances. Typically, for dry conditions a stiffer chassis is preferable, while in wet or other poor traction conditions, a more flexible chassis may work better. Best chassis allow for stiffening bars at the rear, front and side to be added or removed according to race conditions.

- 2-stroke engines were originally taken from motorcycles, but have become a kart-specialised item with dedicated manufacturers. Comer, IAME (Parilla, Komet), TM, Vortex, Titan, Yamaha and Rotax are manufacturers of such engines. These can develop from about 4 hp to 7 hp for a single-cylinder 60 cc unit to 90 hp for a twin 250 cc. The most popular categories worldwide are those using 100 cc engines and the Touch-and-go (TAG) 125 cc units. 100 cc 2-stroke kart engines can run at 19,000 rpm. Most are water-cooled today; however, previously air-cooled engines dominated the sport.
- 4-stroke engines can be standard air-cooled industrial based engines, sometimes with small modifications, developing from about 5 to 20 hp. Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh, Kohler, Robin, and Honda are manufacturers of such engines. They are plenty adequate for racing and fun kart applications. There are also more powerful four-stroke options available from manufacturers like Yamaha, TKM or Biland, offering from 15 hp up to 40 hp. They run to and around 11,000 rpm, and are manufactured specifically for karting. Those are used in some National Championship classes like the two-strokes.

Transmission Karts do not have a differential. The lack of a differential means that one rear tire must slide while cornering; this is achieved by designing the chassis so that the inside rear tire lifts up slightly when the kart turns the corner. This allows the tire to lose some of its grip and slide or lift off the ground completely. In an automobile and other four-wheeled vehicles, a differential is a device, usually consisting of gears, for allowing each of the driving wheels to rotate at different speeds, while supplying equal torque to each of them. ...
Power is transmitted from the engine to the rear axle by way of a chain. Both engine and axle sprockets are removable, their ratio has to be adapted according to track configuration in order to get the most of the engine. Sprockets was a fictional television talk show created by actor, writer and comedian Mike Myers for the American sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. ...
In the early days, karts were direct drive only, but the inconvenience of that setup soon led to the centrifugal clutch for the club level classes. Dry centrifugal clutches are now used in many categories (Rotax Max is one example) and have become the norm as the top international classes have switched to 125 cc clutched engines as of January 2007.

- Slicks for dry weather. In international level racing these are some of the softest and most advanced tires in motorsport. Some car tire manufacturers make tires for Karts such as Bridgestone or Dunlop; however, there are also specific Kart tire manufacturers, for example MG, MOJO, or Vega. Kart tires come in many different compounds from very soft to very hard.
- Rain tires or wets for wet weather
- Intermediates for damp or low traction conditions. Sometimes worn rain tires are used.
- Special, such as spiked tire for icy conditions, or cuts for high grip dirt/clay speedways. Cuts are modified slicks using a lathe to optimize handling while spiked tyres are slicks with screws through them.
Tires are sometimes prepared with special solvents to soften them and increase grip, however this is banned by many racing organizations. These solvents typically affect the behavior of the tire temporarily and are most often destructive to the rubber. The tires can support cornering forces in excess of 2 G (20 m/s²), depending on chassis, engine, and motor setup. A wheel with a slick tire. ...

Racing formats Typically, race formats are one of the following:
Sprint Sprint racing takes place on dedicated kart circuits resembling small road courses, with left and right turns. Tracks go from 1/4 mile (400 m) to over 1 mile (1,600 meters) in length.
The sprint format is a series of short-duration races, normally for a small number of laps, that qualify for a final, with a variety of point scoring calculations to determine the event's overall winner. Typical duration does not normally exceed 15 minutes. Here, speed and successful passing is of the most importance. It normally occurs in the format of three qualifying heats and a final race for trophy positions.
The FIA championships, including the Karting World Championship, take place in this format. The Fédération Internationale de lAutomobile, commonly referred to as the FIA, is a non-profit association established in 1904 to represent the interest of motoring organisations and motor car users. ...

The two chief racing formats used in dirt speedway karting are heat races and timed laps qualification :
- The International Kart Federation (IKF) runs a racing format of two 10 laps heats followed by a 20 laps final. Finishing positions in the two heat races are used to calculate the starting position in the feature race.
- The World Karting Association (WKA) uses time qualifying. Karts equipped with transponders are sent out onto the track in groups of 5 or less to try to achieve the fastest lap time. Positions for the 20 laps feature event are determined by qualifying time.

Karting as a learning tool Kart racing is usually used as a low-cost and relatively safe way to introduce drivers to motor racing. Many people associate it with young drivers but adults are also very active in karting. Karting is considered the first step in any serious racer's career. It can prepare the driver for high-speed wheel-to-wheel racing by helping develop quick reflexes, precision car control, and decision-making skills. In addition, it brings an awareness of the various parameters that can be altered to try to improve the competitiveness of the kart (examples being tire pressure, gearing, seat position, chassis stiffness) that also exist in other forms of motor racing.
Many current and former Formula One racers grew up racing karts, most prominent among them Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Fernando Alonso, Kimi Räikkönen, Lewis Hamilton, Jarno Trulli, or Robert Kubica.

Such karts are usually powered by small, detuned four-stroke engines and are far slower than the fully-fledged competitive versions. These karts are built and set to be drivable by anyone.
