Join us for Round 6, the final event of our Go Karting Championship at Silhouette Karts - Melbourne's FASTEST karts.
ABOUT THE KARTS:
At Silhouette Karts we run 2-Stroke Racing Karts as our standard Kart. The 2-Stroke engines we run offer many advantages over the 4-Strokes of our competitors including more power and revs and a higher top speed.
All our Karts are designed & manufactured in-house by the experienced team at Silhouette Karts. Extensive on-track testing was done during development of our latest model to ensure a Kart which is more balanced during cornering and delivers a driving experience which we believe is unrivaled in the industry.
The engines are built & blueprinted to race specifications to get the most performance possible while still being reliable and with no governor’s they scream to around 12,000 RPM.
The Karts are maintained to a very high standard at all times by experienced Kart mechanics so that they are not only fast, but they handle well. They use a heavy duty hydraulic brake system to safely slow them from high speeds and a centrifugal clutch to stop the engine from stalling to avoid any loss of time.
ABOUT THE TRACK:
The track at Silhouette Karts is outdoor and 600 metres in length. It offers a wide smooth surface with plenty of opportunities for passing. The exciting layout includes a 120 metre long straight, fast sweeping bends and tight hairpins to challenge even the more experienced drivers.
