Question Go-Karts

I went go-karting for my Stag Do... and won the day!

I had an absolute blast, and it's something I'd love to get into more seriously when I can afford a kart. How do you decide what kart to buy and are there sites that review/compare/contrast the various karts on offer?

Do you race it in a series or just turn up at go-kart track open days to drive it around?

All the best,
Andrew.

I have only driven the car a few miles, but WOW!! This car is a beast! During the break in period I am not supposed to go over 4,200 RPM's, it is very hard!

Another F-Chatter has a Champ Car, although I think it's a Lola.
I think you're talking about Bill, he has two Lolas with Cosworths. Both are currently for sale.

That's the original livery. Patrick Racing ran Swifts for about half the season in 1999. Patrick Racing and Newman/Haas used Cosworth XD's in their Swifts. It is currently fitted with a Yamaha R1 engine as the Cosworth costs too much for me to maintain. Also I don't have a team to help start the car etc. It is a ton of fun and at ~300lbs less weight than the Cosworth the braking and handling are exceptional.
