The Karting Manual Summary

The Karting Manual: The Complete Beginner's Guide to Competitive Kart Racing by Joao Diniz Sanches

This book has a foreword by Jenson Button. With the emergence of indoor karting tracks across Europe in recent years, karting has grown significantly as an accessible, affordable introduction to motorsport. Although most first-time karters are unlikely to take up the sport seriously, some are sufficiently stirred by the experience to want to progress to the next level. This clearly written, extensively illustrated practical book covers all the fundamental elements of kart racing, catering for the complete novice, yet is also sufficiently detailed to appeal to those racing at club level who wishes to progress further.
