So that the first trip does not bring disappointment, we will study the advice of experienced carters on how to properly ride this vehicle.

How to choose a karting center?

Since go-carting is a popular form of entertainment, this service has recently been in great demand. Consider the criteria for choosing the best karting club:

• In order to avoid mistakes when choosing such a club, special attention should be paid to the condition of the track and technique. The track must be flat, without defects on the asphalt concrete surface. Its length should be of optimal size, not too short, but not too long. Long-distance clubs are more suitable for experienced riders. It's good if the track is equipped indoors, in which case you can practice your favorite pastime in any weather and season. The cards themselves must be in good condition with no obvious damage. It is best to choose centers with modern maps, since the technical condition of the car affects the safety of the trip, which is especially important for beginners. All kart control systems must be in good working order, clearly and quickly respond to the driver's actions;
• An important point is how much the trip costs. As a rule, clubs with cards from the best manufacturers with powerful and reliable motors cost significantly more than the cost of training in budget centers. The total cost can also be influenced by the quality of the track coverage, the location of the club, and the quality of equipment. It is better to overpay a little for the ticket, but at the same time be sure that the trip will do without unpleasant accidents and breakdowns;
• Availability of additional services. In karting centers of the European level, visitors can take a shower, change in the changing room, and have a snack. Karting clubs with a restaurant will allow you to have a good day with your family, both on holidays and on weekdays.

What you need to know about karting before your first ride?

• Don't be in a hurry. Before you get behind the wheel, you need to look around, study the track (are there sharp turns, bumps and potholes in the asphalt) and observe the driving of experienced drivers. The main thing to look out for is cornering. The maximum loss of speed occurs precisely on them. If something does not work out, you can always seek advice or help from a mentor;
• The correct selection of equipment is equally important. It is necessary to ensure that the equipment fits in size, does not hinder movement and fits snugly to the body. It is recommended to check the tightness of all belts before the ride, special attention should be paid to fixing the helmet. Travel safety is most important;
• Check the functionality and performance of the brakes. Experienced drivers recommend studying the features of the brakes on the map before the race, since their principle of action differs from braking in a car. On such a car, it is necessary to keep the "gas" throughout the entire ride and release immediately before braking. Braking should not be smooth, as in a car, but sharply, while racers are advised to turn the steering wheel in the direction of the turn. Thus, the front wheels begin to slip and slow down a little. During braking, the rear wheels are most involved.
• Travel in a straight line, turns. This is the most important part of the ride. It is best for a beginner to observe experienced drivers for a while, pay attention to how they enter the turns, since this is the most difficult element of the race. It is recommended to enter 90 ° turns along the outside trajectory, go in and out a little. They enter the 180 ° turn from the outside, then give "full throttle" at the extreme point.

Mistakes made by beginners on their first trips

• Incorrect hand position on the steering wheel. Due to the fact that this technique is sensitive to the slightest turn of the steering wheel, it is important to place your hands on it correctly. According to the generally accepted rule, they should be at 3 and 9 o'clock. In no case should your hands be torn off while driving, since such an action can lead to the overturning of the vehicle;
• Slow braking. As already mentioned, you need to brake sharply on the map to avoid losing speed. According to the recommendations of experienced drivers, it is necessary to press the brake almost until the wheels lock, gradually releasing the pedal as you exit the turn;
• Incorrect cornering. If speed is lost too quickly when cornering and karts start to skid, you need to choose a wider trajectory. In this case, due to a more even location of vehicles on the highway and better grip, turns are passed faster and easier. The smoother the pilot turns the steering wheel, the less likely it is to skid;
• Wrong choice of viewing location. It often happens that the rider is looking only in front of him, not paying attention to what is happening in front and to the side of him. Experts recommend looking at the track a few steps ahead in order to stop in time or manage to go around an obstacle;
• Do not pay attention to other riders or try to give them an edge. An experienced driver will always try to keep clear of the beginner and will be able to react quickly if necessary. A beginner, being distracted by another driver, can admit an emergency.

Conclusion

Karting is a sport that is gaining more and more popularity lately. This is the first step for those interested in racing and high speeds, as most of today's successful racers began their careers with karting.

Even for those who do not want to connect their lives with racing, go-karting will bring a lot of pleasure and positive emotions, as well as teach how to properly manage transport, carefully enter turns and avoid accidents.

Thanks to its low center of gravity and reliable driver's equipment, it is one of the safest types of motorsport, which is why even small children, starting from the age of 4, are allowed to drive a mini-car. It is almost impossible to allow the map to turn over, this is also due to the low height of this transport - the distance from the asphalt to the lower edge of the car does not exceed 5 centimeters. Despite the fact that the kart is small in size, the powerful motor allows it to quickly accelerate and reach speeds of up to 200 km / h.

We believe that every person, at least once in his life, should try to ride the map, and all conditions have been created for this in Chelyabinsk - a huge selection of tracks (opening and closing, summer and all-season), even free groups have been created for children in the palace of pioneers and CYSS.
