Rating of the best karting clubs in Novosibirsk in 2020

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 kart circuits on the territory of Russian regions. But even from the existing proposals, there is always an opportunity to choose the most attractive option. This article provides an overview of the best karting clubs in Novosibirsk in 2020, selected according to customer ratings.

Purpose and types of karting

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

1. Sports or professional (winter and summer) representing the base for this kind of racing sport. Designed for trained drivers (athletes). 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 undergo instructions and get the necessary equipment. The fleet of amateur karting circuits is equipped with equipment that does not provide for a checkpoint, which makes it easy to operate.

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

• amateur (competitions on rental karts, adult classes with low-power 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, in amateur skating, there are classes of sports between two or more participants. But they are far from professional racing in all respects, although they are highly popular.

Criteria for choosing karting clubs

When choosing a go-kart club, every go-kart enthusiast is guided by his own preferences, which may include his location, road features, vehicle 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 to pay attention to is the state of the track. It should be of optimal length, have an even and high-quality coating.Also, importantly, 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 circuits, and for professionals, an open area is suitable.
• The condition and characteristics of the rolling equipment are equally important. The more modern and newest it is, the better. In addition, the 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 in good working order and responsive to pressure.
• You should also take a closer look at the set and appearance of the equipment rented out with the kart. Everything must be in good condition and include at least three items: overalls, gloves and a helmet.
• Another point that should not be ignored is the prices for karting club services. And it's not even about the personal budget, although some are forced to choose inexpensive establishments, but the fact that the cost of rental at each karting track can differ significantly depending on the conditions that they are ready to offer their customers. Therefore, as a rule, in the centers offering high-quality tracks, popular models of powerful karts with modern protection systems and reliable equipment, the prices for services are not low. But, perhaps, sometimes it is better to pay more, and thus, protect yourself and your health from troubles and problems.

Also, when choosing a go-kart center, you should consider additional services. On the territory of many of them, there will be 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 what is more important, a good establishment is always ready to offer its clients a warm changing room with lockers and even a shower.

Visiting recommendations for beginners

Experienced kart riders and professional athletes have their own rules and tactics for effective skiing on the tracks of the karting tracks. But beginners, as a rule, do not know the nuances and peculiarities of racing entertainment. Therefore, it is important for them to receive full instructions, 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: when entering, the outer edge, then the inner one, and when exiting, the outer edge again.
2. The shortest trajectory does not mean the fastest, since entering a turn requires a decrease in speed, which means a waste of time, which can only be caught up on the next straight section. This is why the most efficient kart race is still the long-distance kart.
3. The best trajectory is not symmetrical, as the braking dynamics of the vehicle is much higher than the acceleration dynamics. Therefore, it is very important to enter the bend slowly and exit quickly.
4. It is important to be wary of drifts that reduce the speed and speed of the engine, and therefore you should go through turns using the "rolling" 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 immediately 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.
