Kid Kart
What is Kid Kart?
Kid Kart is a safe, non-competitive introduction to karting for kids aged 5-11 years. This is a volunteer-driven program that relies on parental assistance for success.
The program provides an environment where kids can learn to operate and control a kart, understand the racing line, with an emphasis on kart control. Although no wheel-to-wheel racing takes place, open lapping sessions teach concepts such as braking points, lines, handling, and driving with other karts.
There are 2 classes of kid karters. Bambino Kid Kart & Formula Kid Kart ( Formula KK ).
