the karts are probably just as quick - what makes them quicker is the much more twisty, narrow and small track. Barbs is quiet wide with longer corners etc - so the feeling changes.

price varies from $100-$250 depending on how much time you want to spend on the track.

$125-$150 is the best compromise. That gets you 15 mins of practice and 3-4 races.

It might have been geared for 160 but there is no way in hell that a clubbie is going to do 160 down the back straight at Cockburn. Lucky if you are doing 100. Rotax lights (read more power and much better tyres) are only doing 105 - 110.

Great fun nonetheless

Thanks for tips guys I came 6th/15. There wasn't much between me and the winner, but one slight mistake meant you're f*cked. I never really got the hang of the top corner, I tried braking early and exited with speed, but f*ked it every time.
