Is it hard to drive a go kart?

Learn more Driving a go kart can be really fun, but it's also a skill that you have to develop. When you first start go-karting, work on mastering the basics of driving the kart. If you want to improve your driving skills, practice often, time your laps, and learn the ins and outs of the tracks you drive most often.

Do we need to know driving for go karting?

The transmission is automatic, so you don't have to worry about changing gears (which is a major factor why it is easy to drive Karts without having knowledge of car driving, where car stops if you don't change gears properly). For casual Karting, you don't need a license. You can directly go and drive.

When should you brake on a go kart?

Wait until you hit a straight part of the track before you brake. That way, the back end of the kart won't turn sideways on you. If it does, the friction of tires will slow you down too much, and you'll have lost time on the course. Begin braking in the straight area just before the turn.
