Karting is the most basic form of four-wheeled motorsport and is the entry level where such internationally successful racing drivers as Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton honed their skills. Karts themselves have very small engines compared to road cars but are lightweight, nimble and handle along much the same lines as full size racing cars do. They are run in both indoor and outdoor environments, including in wet weather. There are two types of karting engines which are 4-stroke and 2-stroke. The 4-stroke engines are to begin with and get promoted to the 2-strokes. In India we have two major series 1.JK Rotax Max Challenge 2. MRF MAI INKC. Rotax is a 2-stroke engine series and INKC is a 4-stroke engine series.
