Who knew driving a Go-Kart could go such a long way (literally and figuratively!) Go karting is a fun, adrenaline-infused activity to enjoy with friends and family. Not only is this a fun and interactive activity, but with experience you can learn great reflexes, safety and also learn how to control your car.

Here are the Top 10 Health Benefits of Go-Karting:

  • Fun activity: Go-karting doesn’t need any prior experience, but it is just as challenging as learning a new sport. Children can learn safety rules and how to maneuver a car by driving a go-kart. This can later prepare them for driving an automobile. This is also a great outlet for kids that are interested in racing and other motor sports.
  • Safety: Go-Karting is a safer option for beginners who are interested in racing. It can be both an indoor or an outdoor activity. Go-Karting also comes with a lot of safety rules and if all the rules and regulations are followed correctly, it can be a very safe activity for all ages. This can teach kids of all ages how to follow and abide by road rules.
  • Better reflexes: The Go-Kart race track is laid out in many tricky patterns. One minute it’s a straight road and then it twists and turns in many different ways. While racing with a go-kart, you have to learn how to maneuver through the track without losing control or crashing into others. This can really test your skills on reflexes.
  • Controlling a car: Being able to control your go-kart while paying attention to your surroundings will make you a better driver in general.
  • Connect with your family: Go-karting can be a great activity for all family members. Children can drive with their parents or other family members. Including your entire family on a team sports can not only be fun but it can also bring your family closer. But above all, laughing and having fun with your family is the most rewarding benefit.
  • Adrenaline: While on the race track, right before the light hits green you get a sudden adrenaline rush because of the thrill and excitement to race. This rush can make you feel more alert as well as sharpen your senses. It can increase your heart rate, dilate blood vessels, and open air passages which will allow all your cells to receive more oxygen. The adrenaline can boost your energy as well as improve your memory and leave you feeling energized.
  • Team building experience: Go-karting can be a great way to get all your employees or your group to interact with each other. It puts everyone in a fun, interactive environment with no worries. Team building helps strengthen relationships, thus putting everyone in a better mood to work with each other.
  • Fun for all ages: Whether you are 10 years old or going on 60, go-karting can be a fun experience for all ages.
  • Confidence builder: Go-Karting can be a great confidence booster when you learn the tricks like vehicle control, driving techniques, and other skills. Although it is a fun and light sport for everyone, winning the race can be a great confidence booster as well.
  • Career starter: Most racers start of with go-karting because of the simplicity of it. Since it is a pretty small vehicle, it is also easy to transport. A go-kart is also not as complicated as a racing car, so the minor or major fixes can usually be done by the individual except for engine rebuilding, which needs to be done by a professional. Go-Karting is a great outlet for those interested in racing because it’s simple, cost-efficient and a safer way to start training for the real race tracks. If racing is your passion, go-karting is a great starting point for beginners.

    • thanks for peaking my interest and distracting for a very long time on your site as I read through you FAQ. Great idea and wish you a lot of growth. I will post a link to it on my track’s Facebook page to assist in your efforts of growing your community.

      My track is KAM Kartway and is located in Rhome, Tx. Growing the sport of racing is a common goal, so I hope my viewers are interest.

  17. Someone sent a link to this article in a private message on my kart track’s Facebook page. I am so happy they were kind enough to do so because I may not have stumbled across it otherwise. It is refreshing to see my sport in headlines with such a positive connection directly associated with fitness. Then given creditability by being posted on a Fitness website. Thank you HFR for making my sport’s health benefits aware to your readers.

    Growing the sport of karting has been a 20 year commitment of my and that of my family. Bringing awareness helps us do that. If you you would like to learn about my form of karting – which is dirt kart racing on oval tracks, otherwise commonly referred to as Outlaw Karts, please visit the website of KAM Kartway (www.kamkartway.com) or stop by our Facebook page (www.facebook.com//kamkartway).

    Should your readers post a question as a result of your article that stumps you as it relates to my industry, please free to refer them or the question to me and if I don’t personally know the answer, I feel confident that I would know where to look to find it. There are more options than most people may realize with Sprint (as seen in the articles accompanying image), Oval and Enduro. then there are flat karts and cage style (Outlaw or Dirt Karts). the latter is mostly run at dirt tracks on an oval racing surface but can also be asphalt. With flat karts that are numerous options and styles.

  19. I like how you said, “Go-Karting can be a great confidence booster when you learn the tricks like vehicle control, driving techniques, and other skills”. I never realized the many benefits of go kart racing. I have been going at least once a week for the last five years. I have come to love racing go-karts and am glad to see so many of the benefits I have been enjoying the last few years.

  20. Hi Samir, thanks for the heads up a complete different approach of go karting, I didn’t thought that go karting have a impact in my health. But I loved most your last point, ” Career Starter “. I started a backyard racer but now I am a full time Go kart racer. Really appreciate your effort in this article.

  21. I love what you said about go-karting teaching kids about safety from following rules and being aware of their surroundings. I think that those are both hard things for kids to learn sometimes, and I know that my kids would definitely benefit from practicing those principles more! We just might have to find a go-kart place for them to have fun at this weekend!

  22. Go-Karting is a more secure option for newbies who have an interest in rushing. It can be both an internal or a patio action. Go-Karting also comes with a lot of guidelines for protection and if all the policies are followed properly, it can be a very safe action for all age groups. This can educate children of all age groups how to adhere to and follow by street guidelines. http://gokartsreview.com/2016/02/17/basic-go-kart-safety-step-by-step-guideline/ for some basic safety tips
