Every Formula 1 driver started somewhere. Go-karts is how many modern-day champions are cultivated. Go-kart racing is a form of racing in a small four-wheel vehicle known as a go-kart. First on the scene — Art Ingels created the first go-cart in Los Angeles in 1956. Go-karts come in all shapes and forms, from motorless models to high-powered racing machines. Races take place scaled-down circuits to professional full-size motorsport circuits. Extremely responsive and fast. No suspension, no differential, no roll bars, no seat belt systems — just four wheels and an engine. Throttles are straightforward — the more you press, the more power you get. Contrary to popular opinion, go-kart brakes help you go quicker. Intense super-pole position. The three-second margin never proves to be much of a challenge. Flawless drive from lights to the checkered flag. GFG has helped build driver confidence. It’s about finding a style that suits you, keeping your eyes on the prize, learning to adapt to race conditions, and blazing out from the start. GFG don’t level the playing field. They crush it. Egos will be bruised — and go-kart heroes will be made.
