Superkart Specifikations
There are two different classes in Superkart: FE and ICE. Both classes run mostly with the same chassies and the two main differences is the engine and the minimum weight. FE uses a twocylindre engine and has a minimum weight of 210 kg including driver compared with ICE that has a one cylinder engine and 200 kg minimum weight.
On fast long courses where engine power is critical, the twocylinder FE is a couple of seconds faster round the Lap. On shorter tracks with a lot of tight bends, the ICE is just as quick or quicker due to higher torque in the engine and lesser mass to accelerate.
How Does It Compare?
Some have said that it is the closest thing to a F/1 or IndyCar. That may be an
exaggeration........maybe not
Car | Weight i kg | Horsepower | Ratio |
F/1 | 600 | 800-900 | 0,66 |
IndyCar | 700 | 800 | 0,875 |
Superkart | 130 | 90 | 1,44 * |
Indy Lights | 630 | 425 | 1,48 |
Ford GT 40 Mk IV | 990 | 500 | 1,98 |
BMW M3 | 1700 | 350 | 4,85 |
*"IF" you had a '98/'99 Aprilia 250 V-twin GP bike engine on your kart producing 110 HP the ratio would be 1.18!
