Introduction

We drove many karts from different manufacturers before we made a decision on the different karts we would run at the kart centre. We weren’t looking for the best deal or the strongest heaviest kart, but the best driving experience.

Thunderkarts - 13hp, 390cc for use by drivers 15+ years old, minimum height of 5'0" (1.52m). The Thunderkart from Biz is combined with the 390cc Honda Thunder engine, a lighter kart with a more sensitive and progressive response to driver input, particularly at speed. In comparison to the more commonly found rental/corporate chassis, the race chassis ultimately gives a much more rewarding karting experience. The engine is big on torque ultimately propelling the kart to speeds in excess of 55mph which is achievable on the kart circuit.


Stratoskarts - 5.5hp, 160cc for use by drivers 12+ years old, minimum height of 5'0" (1.52m). These are adult karts but have variable electronic rev limiters fitted for the safety of junior (under 15) drivers. The Stratos is a very versitile kart. Forgiving enough for junior drivers but still fast enough for expeienced karters.

Cadet Karts - 4hp, 120cc for use by drivers 8+ years old, minimum height of 4'4" (1.32m). These are fitted with adjustable seat, full wrap around bodywork, double adjustable pedals and variable electronic rev limiters. The cadetkart from Biz is the result of years of development for the junior karting market. Fantastic to drive but with the safety features you'd expect for children of 8 years old.

Timing system

Constantly updated information is essential in any race situation particularly the enduro format. We use the latest ROCTIMING system, which has many features including:

• Multiple information monitors in the kart centre for team members and crew. These list race position, time difference to next kart, number of laps, elapsed race time and fastest lap for each kart.

Added electonic equipment

• Pit to driver message board situated on the start/finish line. Send specific messages to your kart via this electronic message board.
• Pit lane speed limiter. Fitted to each kart and automatically governed within a preset area. Keeps pit lane sage and stops the temptation to gain time in the pit lane.
• Automatic Sin Bin. If you have been misbehaving on track the message board will indicate for you to return to the Sin Bin. You will be automatically counted down when you arrive. The system knows if you left the Sin Bin early!
All the above adds to the fun of racing and allows you to plan or alter race strategy as the race progresses.
