If you are seriously considering Superkarting as a sport and would like to know what is involved then this guide is designed to answer as many of your questions as possible.
Racing a Superkart on these tracks allows the karts to reach high speeds, ranging from around 140kmh for the Junior Max karts and are faster at most circuits than the V8 Supercars.
New and second-hand Superkarts can be purchased from the dealers listed at the end of this guide, second-hand karts are often advertised in the club magazine and may be advertised in the Trader paper.

 Superkart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Superkarts can race on Long circuits such as Silverstone, Laguna Seca, Le Mans etc as used by bikes, saloon cars, Formula One etc, (Long Circuits are defined as greater than 1500 m), rather than the traditional Short Circuits — which are used for karts alone.
Acceleration is the weak point of a superkart however, because the very low weight and good downforce makes for staggering cornering and braking capability, and the karts are capable of braking from 100 mph (160 km/h) to standstill in around 2 seconds, and taking corners at nearly 3 g (30 m/s²).
Superkart Division 1 is open to 250cc karts with one or two cylinders and five or six speed gearboxes.

 Superkarts, Superkart racing, Superkart information , Superkart classes
In Australia, the name 'Superkarts' refers to all of the karts raced on long road-type circuits, both 'shifter' or gearbox karts in 80cc, 125cc and 250cc capacities, as well as the 100cc KT100S powered non-gearbox class, and the new Formula Rotax 125 MAX class.
The technical regulations for the Rotax Max Superkart class are nearly the same as the AKA sprint kart class, with the option of fitting a more aerodynamic nose cone for better performance on the long circuit.
This class of Superkarts reach speeds of up to 280 kph and at many circuits are as fast as V8 touring cars and 500cc GP motorcycles.

These are a very competitive class of Superkart, with less ferocity in terms of engine performance compared to that of a 250 Superkart, but still capable of keeping within a couple of seconds on lap times in comparison to that of a 250 single.
Superkarts are quick, there is no getting away from that, but in my humble opinion, not as quick (in a straight line) as many people will tell you.
