Kartingajossa, often referred to as go-kart racing, is a motorsport discipline where drivers compete in open-wheel, single-seat kart cars on various track surfaces. The sport is widely accessible, making it a popular entry point for aspiring racers and a recreational activity for enthusiasts of all ages. Karting races can take place on indoor or outdoor circuits, ranging from short oval tracks to more complex layouts with turns, chicanes, and elevation changes.

The vehicles used in karting are lightweight, typically powered by two-stroke or four-stroke engines, and lack a transmission, relying instead on a direct-drive system. Safety is a priority in karting, with drivers wearing helmets, fire-resistant suits, and often additional protective gear. Tracks are equipped with barriers, and some events may require drivers to complete multiple laps to determine the winner.

Karting serves as a foundational sport for many professional racers, as it develops essential skills such as cornering, braking, and racecraft. Many Formula 1 and other motorsport drivers began their careers in karting. The sport also features organized competitions, including national and international championships, where drivers compete for titles based on performance and consistency.

Beyond competitive racing, karting is enjoyed casually in social events, speed trials, and time-attack sessions. Clubs and schools worldwide offer training programs to help participants improve their driving techniques. The simplicity and affordability of karting make it a versatile sport, appealing to both beginners and experienced drivers.
