You try driving one of these on the limit making risky overtakes

Whatt part of, "The Kart I was racing is having rear brake problems & Throttle sticking making gear change difficult" didn't you see in the description?

no, it’s boring as shit

@@yeahrightmate Sorry but no I didn't. Why? What did he say? I have looked and I can't see any comments?

@@yeahrightmate Oh shit, I am very very sorry then, I clicked on full screen (so I could appreciate the true sound and effect) and I didn't read any of the comments. I suppose that will teach me.... so sorry guys, don't I feel like a right tool now!!

@@yeahrightmate Thanks for your reassuring reply, I still feel like a fool for not reading the comments properly......

I guess its a 250

Hi Tim, was the same problem near the end of race 3. Found faulty spark plug caps the next day. We tried all electrical, ign. stuff, different quick shifter at the track but couldn't find the problem.

I thought he was going to go through the cheap sets when it got squirrelly. That was the kind of thing that you remember.

Except for SHOPPING CART RACE AT SAFEWAY..

2T 250 rotax, parece que escribió un tío por aquí... igual antaño se refiere (Como mundial 250cc motos 80-90, Circa 100cv, para estos ultraligeros irían de sobra)

250 cc bi cylindre

Dan Trottier my uncle is 70yo and still races these up here in Queensland. So you don’t have to be in your twenties!!

It's amusing to see people talk about taking their $250K exotic car to the track when these carts would pass streetcars like they were rolling chicanes. These karts are a great way for racers to get seat time relatively inexpensively.

Some day? I want to do this "every" day. Ken Oath mate. Outstanding footage Waz Mcilveen, Appreciated, thankyou very much. A highly motivational video.

Joy Underdown I had a 250 Rotax 256 twin, with a slightly modified Zip frame assy specially built by ZipKart (and loosely based on the Eagle chassis) for me back in the 80s. Being more than 6 feet tall, the chassis had to be longer, and wider, in order to accommodate my ample frame.. this severely affected the centre of gravity, and the centre of momentum, and didn't handle that well. It would have been lapped had it tried to enter a race. It wasn't compliant with F/E (Div 1) specs, and although I held an RAC (MSA) racing licence at the time, it was only a junior novice competition licence, and I wasn't able to enter or compete in any of the senior classes - regardless of specs. The only experience I gained racing, was during one awful, and expensive season in a 100 TKM Junior class. No decent race results, no success, and I pulled the plug towards the end of the season. That ended my dreams of being an F1 driver! lol. But I loved my Rotax twin, even if it didn't handle ever so well. Awesome kart.

Joy Underdown I am also an ex 250 National person, a bit before your time 🙂 Started with a Santa GP18 in 1966 then a Yamaha TD1C 250 early 1970s. Best instrumentation then was a rev counter & not much else. Stoped racing in 1990.

MotoGp uses the exact same one.
