It is an obvious but entirely appropriate statement, evident from the wide range of individuals who continue to drive competitively. Karting is a friendly, well run sport with the emphasis on having an enjoyable time.

The family benefits of karting are far superior to any other sport.  No other sport will even approach the level of parent-child bonding seen in karting.

The typical child that begins karting discovers a form of motivation that carries over into everyday life and is often visible in the trends of improved grades and willingness to help out around the house.  A 20% gain in Grade Point Average after the first year of karting is common.

 

Perhaps the greatest benefit the entire community derives from karting is the involvement of young people in a healthy, competitive sport which invariably produces better drivers.

"What better grounding for a boy or girl than a sport where they can develop their confidence and driving skills from the age of  7".

This means that these drivers may have years of supervised motoring experience well before they are old enough to qualify for a ROAD LICENCE!

 

Virtually all of the FORMULA 1 Drivers start out racing as children in Go-Karts. Karting is the best school for racing because it is F1 in miniature; Competition, mechanics, driving skills, human relations - everything a driver must know to race at the highest level starts at the lowest level. Karting even has its own Australian and State Championships (and World Championships) yearly.  In fact, Karting has become such a big business that some drivers choose not to graduate into car racing and stay as professional racers.
