That of rims is certainly one of the topics most under the magnifying glass of karters in recent years. The material they are made of, their profile, and the amount of air they are able to take in are all increasingly crucial factors in the quest for the best kart performance. Choosing one model over another, depending on track (and weather) conditions, can in fact make a significant difference on the final outcome of a race or the best time of day (to learn more, read "Expert advice | The right rim to mount on the kart based on the grip of the track"). Studies and research initially applied only to the Senior classes are increasingly expanding to what is the karting of the youngest. Even in MINI categories, in fact, rims can make a significant difference, despite the reduced performance compared to adult karts. We posed 7 questions to Tommaso Stefanello, owner of AMV Racing Kart, a leading company in the kart racing components industry, who helped us find out what are the truths and what are the false myths related to the world of rims for MINI categories. How about you? How many do you know? Test yourself and find out!
