Karting

You sit yourself down in the tight seat, close to the ground. The tension builds. You fire up the engine and can smell the exhaust gasses.  You push the throttle in the pits and get a first feel of this powerful engine. Then, on the straight, you go full throttle: the power-valve of the Rotax engine opens and 30+ horsepower pushes you with mighty g-forces towards the first braking zone. You grasp for air and slam the brakes. The kart brakes with more than 1G, you turn in with >2G lateral (!!), exit the corner and again give it full throttle. The same power pushes you again with exciting speed.  Under your helmet, a big wide grin appears, hidden for the rest of the world...

This is the moment... it has happened... you are now addicted to 2-stroke kart racing...
