Go karting
By Anita Cheong

Kart racing is the fastest growing form of MotorSport. The main reason for its growing popularity is that it can give the same level of fun and excitement to you as if you are having motor racing. 

Karting can be defined as the "Family Oriented" form of MotorSport and enjoyed by people from eight years old and up. Besides, it is the least expensive type of MotorSport. More people can afford it. However, similar to motor racing, knowledge is the most important factor in success. 

There are two main types of karting, indoor karting and outdoor karting. What we can find in Macau is indoor karting, which is to rent karts. There are five types of karts: 3.5 horsepower go-kart, 9 horsepower go-kart, 20 horsepower go-kart, single-4-stroke-engine go-kart and twin-4-stroke-engine go-kart. A kart is easy to operate, it has only one gear with the right foot "Go," and left foot "Stop." Therefore, even those who don't have a driving license can also enjoy karting. 

Billy Lee, who has tried karting in Macau, said that it is an exciting sport. "It is very exciting but I feel pain in my bones after driving for only 20 minutes," Lee said. "But it's worth it."

It is also important for a player to have a thorough understanding of the operation and safety rules of karting so as to prevent unnecessary risks.

Candy Lam once hurt her leg when she played karting in Macau. "At that time, I had to turn left, but didn't know why the kart was out of control. I hurt my leg," she said. There are safety fences surrounding the track, but they still cannot prevent this type of accident. Lam said, "I still enjoy playing karting but next time I will not drive so fast."
