Hi

A friend and I are looking to buy a go kart in the near future mainly for practice days but potentially to go racing as our experience increases� One of our issues is weight! I am nearly 6ft and 98kg and my friend is a little shorter and lighter.
We are looking at TKM extremes as they seem to be the best route into karting from �commercial karts�, but from the research we have done unlike rotax which has 2 classes we can not find anything on TKM�s if there is a heavier class ?
We would be looking to potentially race at circuits like Shennington, Whilton Mill and Rissington which we know have TKM races, but we don�t want to always find ourselves at the back of the grid just due to our weight!!!

Secondly what is the average weight of a TKM kart in race trim? and is there a set weight minimum as in Rotax.

Thanks for all of your help

Alex
