A kart is usually a single-seater vehicle. It is open and powered by a combustion engine or electric motor. The design of a kart is similar to that of a pedal car. Karting is fun and is also suitable for children. Karting is a good way to introduce amateurs and especially children to racing. Almost all successful Formula 1 racing drivers started karting as children. Karting is becoming increasingly popular as a leisure sport. It takes place both outdoors and in large halls.
