Superkart - Hockenheim Ring - April 2014 - Race 1

This race is from Hockenheim 26th of April 2014, Round 1 of the European Superkart Series.

The Superkart I drive has a 250 ccm, 2 stroke, 2 cylinder, PVP engine.
Chassis is also made by PVP. The kart has aprox. 100 HP and does around 250 km/h as topspeed.

Video is made with Trackvision software, Gopro2 camera and AIM datalogger.

F1: latest in safety rules, nothing exciting for years
Superkart: Yeet a small engine on a frame, go 230 kph and try not to make mistakes or you die.

the winner of a superkart race is always the person who has the biggest balls

[gogutzy]

when the video started i was laughing about the rear wings on them... guess they come in handy at 200 km/h...

[king-manu]

You gotta have balls to drive a little death trap like that at more than 230 km/h . God

[greenboys]

Can't imagine going over 200 without suspension

[tonybletas]

No suspension, no race-harness but loads of talent, skill and courage! This is how every F1 prospect begins the ascent.

Cornering at 170 kph in turn 1, love it

[myZisfantastic]

The feeling of speed is just incredible, must be very addictive! Congratulations for your well deserved victory, awesome driving...

Cheers all the best

I always tell myself ' I'll just watch 2 minutes '

I went karting for the first time this year at a small track (1.04km). I'd never driven anything before so jumping straight into karts with twin 160cc motors was scary as all hell. It certainly made me appreciate people like you who have the skill (and balls) to take corners at 170kph. The fastest I went was about 90-100kph on a straight... Before not braking enough at the end and winding up leaving skid marks all through the gravel bank and into the pit lane entrance (thankfully not a wall).

It also made me appreciate the upper body strength of people who do this for long periods of time... My arms hurt for days afterwards.

One small mistake at 200kmh, *boi you ded*

[TheCorrectionist]

There's a documentary about F1 in the seventies. I remember one of the driver's complaining about the physical demands because they were now pulling 2gs in the corners. Think about that.

[nelsonloiajr.]

WOW! a 250cc with 100HP.... it means about 400HP per liter (power density/swept volume) Amazing number!! (even for a two stroke engine....)

[all_about-You]

number 2 had a faster kart in the straite, but could not handle the turns like you. good job.

[helciocorrea]

Super Kart = F1 '60
Crash = Death

[penkatadrums]

Man I love your deep breaking, pushing it to the limit everytime...

[anomalyp]

Looks so relaxed....then you look at the numbers...that's insane!

[alessiopirolo]

Unbelievable.. It takes a lot of talent and some big balls to drive this thing that fast... Well done, massive respect.
