I found this whilst looking for advice for my son who turns 13 shortly and has always wanted to race karts. Your maturity and honest advice is just what I needed and has helped hugely in our journey. Thanks heaps👍

[@RedExions]

Thanks a lot! Maybe consider checking out this video as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnOUYpqie96gZ9k

Thanks sooo much for this video, super informative! I did like 200 hours of research a year ago before I started karting myself and literally half of all this information is in this video alone.

Buddy, I've come to know your channel only recently, but it is really awesome! It's great to see your determination to accomplish results and how you share this passion with your audience. As in any sport, basically, there will always be some people to try and look down on us, but it's important that we keep our head up at all times! Thanks for the inspiration and wish you all the best!

Hey man, thanks. Always keep up the grind ;)

[@97matrix97]

I've been in the karting world for a while as photographer for drivers, teams and constructors and the amount of money people spend in WSK or FIA races is absolutely insane. Thumbs up for your video that says clearly what are the budgets some people is spending and what a "normal" person will be capable of if he\she wanna begin racing in that categories!

[@RedExions]

Ah cool, you must be visiting a lot of tracks per year.

[@L00S1NGM1ND]

@@RedExionshello! Want to give you an instruction how to spend 350.000 euro per season. At first I want to say that I live in Russia, so every race at European tracks costs me (not me, my parents actually) around 15.000 euro because of all flights, hotels and personal coach each race. Also Russian championship is very competitive and provides OK and KZ-2 classes, not Rotax, so we have 2 championships out there and OK was pretty expensive. I had: 17 races in Europe (17x15000=255.000 thousand euro), 6 rounds of Russian championship with 6 pre-races (OK class) (12x6000=72.000 euro) and two races in Rotax (2x4000 euro=8000 euro). Races cost us 335.000 euro, then we add pre-season team payment (8000 euro) and price of 2 new suites and 1 new helmet with painting we get near very near to price of 350.000 euro. And that all to only win Russian championship and not getting even close to top-3 in Europe. I really appreciate to my parents. And, I will say it again, it was only OK season, not KZ!

[@iwatchyouburn]

I would like to add that there is the sodi World Series, great budget class to start and have fun. For those in North America, we have the 4 cycle class that is a great entry class in competition at a reasonable cost.

[@mclarendoggo2474]

If you go to rotax, start with a bare minimum pre evo. The more you upgrade over time the more satisfying it is to slowly get quicker than people.

[@thargor6750]

Good point on the kids. I had some kids laugh at my older style wet tires. I had bought Vega's but they were stuck in the mail.

Really like these longer videos. One question: can you do a video about what you need for own Karting? (Tools, etc) .

[@dmdevroomen6629]

And one more question: You said buying two chassis per year, is it fine to use one set of bodywork?

[@RedExions]

To answer both questions at once: 1. That's actually a great video idea. I might do that in the future. 2. I think it's fine to re use any part that's still got life in it. However, it is a lot more convenient to buy another complete kart (excluding engine), so that you always have spare parts

[@dmdevroomen6629]

Ok, thanks for answering that quick. Good luck on getting a few good results this season.

[@eugene4643]

Got a great deal on my 1st kart . 1400 got 2 chassis + rain tires !! The huge bonus was 6 years of rentals and 4 of those seasons did double duty as a track marshal. Thankfully had lots of help from racing families! . Injury put end to regular fun but still work a few events a year and still do some rental racing !! The best part is nobody knows if I'm working or racing when I show up! Definitely had alot of fun since 05 . Should have started at 16 rather than 36 😂🏁

Here in colorado springs USA area, the fees for rental racing is 25 usd, a race, 12 laps or 60 usd for one tear, and a 15 usd charge per race.

[@lewisgordon1490]

From my research the cheapest form of tier 2 in North America is LO-206 Brigs & Stratton. My est is it would cost $2k US/ year for fun club Karting excluding travel, etc. If u absolutely want to run @ the front you could double that (less if U have lots of talent) from expenses for doing more tack time. The least expensive class in our national championship is 100cc two stroke, which costs 2-5 times as much as lo206. If one wanted to make a career of racing I’d say do lo206 until U easily finish in top 3 in most races, in at least two clubs. Then move up to 100cc. If u r talented you would be able to get some sponsorship. It u reg finish in top 3 in mult clubs I’d consider going to the national championship. If u get top 10 there I bet u could get lots of help in Rotax, X30, or OK. If you get top 5 there @ nationals I bet u could get help starting in cars.

[@RedExions]

In my opinion, if you are racing in tier 3 then your only option is OTK. In club championships where the level is a little bit lower it doesn't matter

[@naomi1834]

i knew karting was an expensive and difficult sport to get into but holy shit i did not expect those prices at the OK and KZ levels... one season costs more than my dads entire annual salary...

[@btracing]

Very nice video. Well spoken 👍. Tip: Prokart endurance karting can be done on a budget and it's split between drivers.

For the last few years in the OKJ and OK championships have been dominated by OTK. On the KZ side chassis vary a bit more

[@sergiunicolae7117]

It’s sad that in Romania we don’t have rental kart championship anymore, sure, there might be the odd endurance race now and then ( now with an actual endurance championship in place ), by having rental championships I think many more people would want to drive karts and probably get into the big championships now and again

[@lorenzograndini2731]

[@GentyXD]

Yooooooooooo nedelanderrrrrrrrrr

[@sielracing]

You can do it cheaper just need to know more meaning you basically have to build the kart chasis yourself

[@schadow0418]

Is it also an option to not get a fully new chassis but a new frame and then move everything else over onto the new frame?

[@RedExions]

Yes of course. That is what we did in 2019 as well. As long as the parts are good, no problem

[@nightflyer40]

Great vid

[@jakubmatusek5006]

OTK chassis lasts longer than one season. My lasted a full season with 10 races plus 5 which were already on it when i got it. Plus however manz practise sessions. Currently have a new chassis which and that should last a minimum of a season. First four races it is like brand new then it starts to slowly decline. But 2 chassis a season is quite excessive in some official RMC races.

[@RedExions]

I have no idea how you are able to stretch out your chassis. Over here they usually lose performance our just straight up break after about 6 months of driving for every weekend

[@jakubmatusek5006]

@@RedExions sometimes a stretched chassis is faster than a new one. Have experienced this before right when I was getting a new one. Still getting used to it. Also stretched chassis is smother over kerbs. It isn’t ideal but it isn’t a huge problem to stretch it out.

Curious if the T4-series is a good option in the Netherlands?

[@flyingphoenix113]

T4 series seems to have grown quite rapidly in the Americas plus the British Isles. But, it seems to be growing more slowly in continental Europe. I think this is largely due to the popularity of ID engines in places like the Netherlands and other 4-stroke alternatives.

[@berncorpino]

Why dont you try iame x30 engines? Imo its alot easier to drive than rotax.

[@yusufmirza2807]

I think its primarily cos rotax is generally cheaper and the engines are sealed so there is no tampering with the engine.

[@RedExions]

Yes exactly. Also I feel like Rotax is more competitive here than X30

[@pipeqez911]

[@RedExions]

Het is in ieder geval niet zo bedoeld lol. Ik weet donders goed hoe het zit als je een hoger budget hebt, in 2019 hebben wij dat namelijk ook gehad. Ik denk dat 20 uur per week in de werkplaats gemiddeld was voor ons. Iedere week 2 karts onderhouden, een paar setjes banden omleggen enz. Ik bedoelde eigenlijk meer de mensen die echt 100% voor een carrière in de motorsport gaan bij 21:20. Die kunnen school op een lager pitje zetten mits de ouders het toelaten.
