My first test in a Superkart with some quality music

hope you enjoy, was a very very tight circuit for these type of karts but it was my first go so speed wasn't a major factor needed. If anyone gets a chance to test one of these, do it, you will not be dissapointed

yeah it was a 250cc Rotax 257, gearing was far too long for the circuit though.
they handle like you wouldnt believe, could out run anything from 0-100mph then back 0. tThink its something like 5-6 seconds its just awe inspiring. the only down fall is any slight bump or twitch you have, you have to be so careful and sensitive to how you react otherwise you'd be pointing the other way before you'd have time to even think about whats just happened. they are the true grass roots of motorsport, and forever will be.

Nice one James, the sound of an engine should never be drowned out! :)

I think i've fallen victim to my pet hate of video's that have great engine notes drowned out by upbeat dance music, it just doesn't do anything to me lol
