The Best Karting Tracks Allow Lots of Room for Passing

Like the Best New Formula 1 Tracks

From Brad Spurgeon, About.com

A giant hairpin is a place of most excitement at a karting race, although karting is different from Formula 1 in that passing can happen all over the track.

Three 250cc two-stroke karts driven by members of the public battle in the hairpin at the Circuit Carole outside Paris at the Kart Discovery fair in February.

The Circuit Carole is more of a motorcycle racing track than a karting track, but its large size lends itself well to karts, particularly the hairpin down near the pit area. During the Discovery Kart fair in February, the 250cc karts delighted the public both on the track and off.
