Go karting
By Anita Cheong
Kart racing is the fastest growing
form of MotorSport. The main reason for its growing popularity is that
it can give the same level of fun and excitement to you as if you are having
motor racing.
Karting can be defined as the "Family
Oriented" form of MotorSport and enjoyed by people from eight years old
and up. Besides, it is the least expensive type of MotorSport. More people
can afford it. However, similar to motor racing, knowledge is the most
important factor in success.
There are two main types of karting,
indoor karting and outdoor karting. What we can find in Macau is indoor
karting, which is to rent karts. There are five types of karts: 3.5 horsepower
go-kart, 9 horsepower go-kart, 20 horsepower go-kart, single-4-stroke-engine
go-kart and twin-4-stroke-engine go-kart. A kart is easy to operate, it
has only one gear with the right foot "Go," and left foot "Stop." Therefore,
even those who don't have a driving license can also enjoy karting.
Billy Lee, who has tried karting
in Macau, said that it is an exciting sport. "It is very exciting but I
feel pain in my bones after driving for only 20 minutes," Lee said. "But
it's worth it."
It is also important for a player
to have a thorough understanding of the operation and safety rules of karting
so as to prevent unnecessary risks.
Candy Lam once hurt her leg when
she played karting in Macau. "At that time, I had to turn left, but didn't
know why the kart was out of control. I hurt my leg," she said. There are
safety fences surrounding the track, but they still cannot prevent this
type of accident. Lam said, "I still enjoy playing karting but next time
I will not drive so fast."
