WHEN KARTING, DON’T LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE

Whether it’s to go faster, prevent potential problems, or improve aesthetics… there are lots of accessories, some of them little-known, that are worth familiarizing yourself with and, why not, even considering adding to your own equipment to become a slightly more “perfect” karter. Here are 4 particularly interesting ones.

CARBON FIBRE FLOOR TRAY

Weight, practicality, flexibility… many are the advantages that a carbon fibre floor tray can offer your kart. Certainly, on the “weight reduction” side, carbon can save you 350 grams with respect to aluminium, in addition to being more resistant and thus longer-lasting. Carbon fibre floor trays can be chosen in several different rigidities, a factor making it possible to modify chassis torsion depending on your preferred setup. Finally, on the practical side, carbon fibre makes for much faster cleaning than aluminium.

DIGITAL PYROMETER

Controlling tyre temperature is a crucial factor for the karter who wants to improve performance: to do so, you need to have a pyrometer. In its digital version, this tool makes it possible to memorize type temperature at the three characteristic points on the tread: external, central, and internal. The data collected allow you to see what part of the tyre is under the most stress (and therefore has the highest temperature), giving you precise indications about how to modify setup to improve tyre performance on the asphalt.
