CRAZY KART RACE! 160 km/h! Isle of Man! Peel Kart GRAND PRIX 1991!

[@ttclifevr458]

The old days were the best days

[@StarFox85]

crazy

[@Calsonic8899]

Agreed. Remember the days of the British Kart Grand Prix at Silverstone in the early 90's. Names like Martin Hines, Perry Gronstra, Stuart Mead etc ...

Chassis breaking stuff on those bumps, and hard on the wrists. I with my mate Chris Silver did the Snetterton hours in 1968, and we broke the chassis - twice - and after the race my wrists puffed up like balloons!. If the chassis hadn't broke we'd have been in the top 5 in class. As it was we were 19th out of 120. Ho Hum.

As a driver, this gives a good look as to how fast you are moving. It is not the top speed, but the acceleration that blows you away! And the high speed!

Lookin a lot safer than the bike day in the same place. And it looks so fun!

[@thomasciul8932]

I have raced 250 superkarts here in the state and Canada. It is like an all day plane crash. I'd give anything to drive that course

[@therealmrcheese]

[@mickenoss]

That dude at 5:38 ...holy crap lol

[@BritishRG]

This was right at the start of what today is known as the superkarts, It was called 250cc gearbox class. The US also had a 350cc gearbox class that was short lived.

[@p80mod]

They were called Formula E. Back in 1991

[@mr.145]

Wish they still did this.

Wo sind die Bewohner?

[@ducedevlstear2471]

Till what year did they run 'em ?

[@danfielden9008]

2005 was the last year

[@p80mod]

160 km/h is nowhere near what these karts could reach at race tracks! Notice: this is a very short version of IOT circuit.

[@10msplits]

Where is this footage from?

[@dukevideo]

The Isle of Man.

[@10msplits]

@@dukevideo sorry, I meant where was the video sourced from 😅 like who made and published the recording
