A lot of New Zealand's best motor sport drivers start in go karts. New Zealand has liberal laws governing the age at which drivers may compete in Kartsport or other motor sport events. All over the country kids are putting on their helmets,gloves and boots, revving their engines and their racing. It is not unusual to see children as young as six years competing with their peers in organized events. Many classes of karts run from juniors age six upwards running restricted engines, many drivers run KT100 Yamaha powered karts having been the mainstay of New Zealand go kart racing for many years. Then the more powerful Rotax series electric start and running 125cc these karts really move along. Then a step up to the open class racing were engines in excess of 250cc are mated with a light weight go kart chassis. Go Karts however must stick to well prepared tracks this is because of the very low ground clearance used on racing karts, just centimetres off the ground capable of speeds well in excess of 100KPH. These machines are fast, so are their drivers. Drivers as young as 18 years may already have ten or more years of motor racing experience. With this youthful expertise they represent New Zealand in many overseas motor sport competitions, taking away many worldwide titles.
