Rating of the best karting clubs in Novosibirsk in 2022

Apart from professional sports, karting is a unique and exciting form of entertainment that not only increases adrenaline and improves mood, but also allows you to learn extreme driving as safely as possible. Unfortunately, this area of ​​business is just beginning to gain momentum, and therefore, if you count, there are not so many karting tracks on the territory of the Russian regions. But even from the existing offers, there is always the opportunity to choose the most attractive option. This article provides an overview of the best karting clubs in Novosibirsk in 2022, selected according to customer ratings.

Purpose and types of karting

Karting is a popular and massive racing and automotive discipline in the world. In fact, everything is simple - this is a sport of karting (small racing cars without a body and with small wheels, consisting of a frame, seat and engine). There are two types of karting:

1. Sports or professional (winter and summer) representing the basis for this type of racing sport. Designed for trained drivers (sportsmen). It uses powerful machines with a two-stroke engine and gearbox.
2. Rental or amateur is one of the types of outdoor activities and just an entertaining pastime. There are practically no restrictions in it, and for skiing it is enough to be instructed and get the necessary equipment. The fleet of amateur karting tracks is equipped with equipment that does not provide for a checkpoint, which makes it easy to manage.

If rental karting means driving on a specially equipped track on a map for a fee, then sports also has its own division by type. What are professional karting racing competitions? So, in turn, regardless of the gender of the participants, they are divided into sports classes:

• amateur (competitions on rental cards, adult classes with low-powered cars and children from 6 years old);
• national (pioneer 8-12 years old, cadet 10-15 years old, junior 13-18 years old and national 16+);
• international (KF3, KF2, KZ2/KZ1, Rotax-Max junior and Easykart).

Of course, amateur skating also has its own classes of sports between two or more participants. But in all respects they are far from professional racing, although they are very popular.

Criteria for choosing karting clubs

When choosing a karting club, each kart enthusiast is guided by his preferences, which may include its location, road features, equipment power and much more. Therefore, there are no specific recommendations on how to choose a suitable institution. But in order not to make serious mistakes when choosing, you can use a number of tips;

• The first thing you should pay attention to is the condition of the track. It should be of optimal length, have a smooth and high-quality coating. Also, and not least, many modern centers offer advanced technologies that increase the level of safety and efficiency of skiing (barriers, covering material, timing, etc.). For beginners in this business, it is better to start with indoor karting tracks, and for professionals, an open area is suitable.
• Equally important is the condition and characteristics of rolling equipment. The more modern and newer it is, the better. In addition, cards should be of different power for different age categories and equipped with the best control and safety systems. When inspecting the car, it is important that the tires are inflated, the steering wheel rotates freely, the seat is comfortable and practical, and the gas and brake pedals are serviceable and sensitive to pressure.
• You should also take a closer look at the set and appearance of the equipment provided for rent with the kart. Everything must be in proper condition and include at least three items: overalls, gloves and a helmet.
• Another point that should not be ignored is the prices for the services of the karting club.And it's not even about the personal budget, although some are forced to choose inexpensive establishments, but that the cost of renting at each karting track can vary significantly depending on the conditions that they are ready to offer their customers. Therefore, as a rule, in the centers offering tracks with high-quality coverage, popular models of powerful karts with modern protection systems and reliable equipment, the prices for services are not low. But, probably, sometimes it is better to pay more, and thereby protect yourself and your health from troubles and problems.

Also, when choosing a karting center, additional services should be taken into account. On the territory of many of them, there are cafes and restaurants where you can warm up by drinking a cup of coffee or tea in cold weather or having a snack after arrival. And, more importantly, a good establishment is always ready to offer its customers a warm locker room with lockers and even a shower.

Visiting tips for newbies

Experienced kart racers and professional athletes have their own rules and tactics for efficient karting. But beginners, as a rule, do not know the nuances and features of racing entertainment. Therefore, it is important for them to receive a full-fledged briefing, and also do not neglect the basic rules that help to pass the track quickly in a short period of time:

1. When turning, the entire width of the track is used: at the entrance - the outer edge, then the inner and at the exit - again the outer.
2. The shortest trajectory does not mean the fastest, as entering the turn requires a decrease in speed, which means a loss of time, which can only be caught up on the next straight section.That is why even the most effective race is obtained on karts with long tracks.
3. The best trajectory is not symmetrical, since the braking dynamics of the car significantly exceeds the acceleration dynamics. Therefore, it is very important to enter the turn slowly and exit quickly.
4. It is important to beware of skids that reduce the speed and speed of the engine, and therefore you should take turns using the “rolling in” method.
5. To avoid skidding, you need to brake at the moment when the front wheels of the car are still in the forward direction and just before the turn.

Compliance with these basic rules is not just a high result of the race, but also a guarantee of safety. Therefore, you should familiarize yourself with them in advance and learn them, and then work out all the details in practice.
