Excellent vid. Sure takes a set to drive like that. One wrong move and you're instant mashed potatoes.

I'm not convinced it hasn't been sped up a little?

Consider that those carts are capable of 120+mph. I have no prob believing the vid is untouched.

After being in karting for a few years and both my boys race, they are 250cc Super Karts. Top speed of around 250kmh. They race them here in Oz at a track called Eastern Creek and they lap quicker by 2 secs than V8 Super Cars. Awesome little machines.

My first impression, also....but then I looked at the speed of his feet on the pedals and that appeared reasonable, especially in the end when he came into the pits and you could see people walking in the paddock at a normal pace.

Awesome! Completely believable.... they run 250GP engines, like the Yamaha TZ250 putting out close to 100HP. That's gonna make them scoot pretty good!

Whoa!

The Isle of Man must be a cool place to live. Roads like glass, cars and bikes going as fast as they can against the clock etc. Cool video, I like the footwork, its no wonder many great racing drivers came up from carting.

Absolutely nuts!
