Class in a glass

Well very briefly the kart uses an air cooled 2 stroke TKM engine (BT82) which produces around 18/19bhp at 16'000rpm - my particular engine has a clutch so that if I spin (very likely to begin with!) the engine shouldnt stall.

The tyres are Maxxis and are controlled so only one set can be used on a race day.

My kart uses an AIM Mychron4 datalogger which records lap time, engine revs, engine temp, and has the option of connecting a GPS sensor which will record a map of the circuit as I have driven it - I can download this information to a laptop to see where I can improve my times during test sessions.
