Bambino

THE CHAMPIONSHIP EXPLAINED

Bambino

Kart racing organised under the MSA umbrella is divided into specific age, weight and speed categories to suit youngsters as they grow. This ensures a safe and exciting progression from 5 years onwards.

Internationally, most countries choose this Italian-manufactured 50cc Comer-powered Top Kart Blue Boy, which is ideally sized for 5– to 9-year-old superheroes! This is the first step on the ladder to F1 and a path followed by most racers from Ayrton Senna to Lewis Hamilton. Aptly named “Bambino Class” to follow the international trend.

The lightweight kart has a wheelbase of 77cm, which fits 5- to 9-year-olds perfectly, with no modifications or adaptations required. With a minimum weight of 74 kg (of kart and driver as raced) and just under 3 bhp, this kart provides the ideal balance between performance and safety.

These were once known as “Baby karts” or “Cadets” in South Africa, but they developed a reputation as being a specialist tuner’s class. The engine spec, however, was completely revised in 2017, resulting in a user-friendly, very economical-to-run package. Engines are sealed by authorised service centres to ensure a high standard of preparation and fair play.

Very reliable, easy to run and low-cost formula using durable Mojo C2 tyres – renowned for long life and consistent performance.

A new complete, ready-to-race kart, including VAT costs, R 66 200.00 (♥buy now). Used karts start from R 10 000.

Club, Regional, and National racing is available nationwide, and Bambino will feature in the SARMC Karting National Championship Series.
