…..March 2023……you’ve retired from Superkarts…..why?!!!! I thought, maybe you ‘ran’ other drivers(who can’t spanner) as part of your team, at a cost, obviously Rob. Cheers Ian

That motor looks a work of art! I’m surprised that you can still use 2 strokes and rules haven’t pushed you all to four strokes like the motor bikes? Good luck for the year Rob 👍
@MyRob102 жыл бұрын
I really appreciate your support Rob! Thank you mate! To answer your question the twin cylinder 250cc 2 stroke engines remain to be the fastest engine homologated for Superkarts. The 450cc 4 stroke is actually growing substantially over the years and is a very popular class, similar to that of the 250cc single engine class (similar speeds). I honestly can’t wait to show you my upcoming races in the twin! Hope you join me on here for the next one! 👍🔥 take care

coz karting isn't full of weak people. 2-stroke for life. Also the move to 4-steokes on bikes was forced really by the major manufacturers. Karting is full of almost exclusively 2-stroke engine manufacturers. MX/SX would still be 2-stroke if it were up to competitors.

Your smile for the entire time - and you won’t be able to, as it’s said, ‘wipe it off your face’. Can’t imagine the speeds you’ll achieve! As others have already said, best wishes for your safety, success and fun during the season ahead! 🙌🏻

why did you choose this engine over a PVP? Is it cheaper? I noticed the pvp has a autoblip on the upshift , i'm geussing the VM does not have this? Would be interesting to know what the rebuild hours/cost is vs the single cylinder 250, i'm guessing its shorter because its higher revving? I ran a single cylinder 200cc TKM back in the day on short tracks, the 16000rpm meant it had to be rebuilt every 8 hours of running! I hope you use your helmet cam for this season as the footage is mega! good luck for the season!
@MyRob102 жыл бұрын
Great question mate! The PVP is undoubtably a great engine. A few factors came into play as to why I chose VM. 1) was that the all the top runners in the division 1 Superkart class are on the VM engine. 2) I am apart of the Redspeed Team and my team mate is also on a VM so we can share data and support each other. 3) I am in close links with Harvey Motorsport who are the VM engine UK importer and I use their dyno services too. 4) spare parts are fully readily available and easily accessible. Taking all that into account the VM seemed the right package for me mate! Ah the helmet cam footage, I actually got blacked flagged after 1 lap at Donnington for having it on! However I will deffo try again! 😂💪🔥
