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.

- 2009 will see me trying to get as much time in the kart as possible. I race kart number 89 in the TKM Extreme class. The karts make approx 20bhp and rev to over 16'000rpm, top speed varies dependant on gearing from 50mph - 80mph, all done without a seatbelt or harness.
