Sprint karts are the feeder category to many current Supercars & Formula 1 drivers we see racing today. Many of them honed their skills racing karts from a young age because it allows drivers to test their reflexes and hand eye coordination at speeds, they can’t replicate anywhere else.
In Australia, the minimum age that you can get behind the wheel of a racing kart is six years old. This can only be done under a practice licence, so no six-year-old is able to race in competition. It is wise to check the regulations for the country you will be driving in, as in some countries, six years of age kids can compete.
