Try and picture the complete crazyness of what I am about to write.

Take one Go-Kart, add a 250cc, two cylinder engine that churns out 90Bhp and then sit back and laugh at the fact that it is enough to propel these little rockets to 250kmh and hustle from 0-100kmh in less than 3 seconds.

All of the above gives you what are known as Superkarts.

They are driven by men with very large appendages and more often than not called Maverick or Ice-Man.

Just to put their speed into perspective, most if not all off them that ran for the first time in the UAE at the Dubai 24hrs, lapped quicker than a Radical SR8 around the National Circuit (GP circuit cut short).

The quickest were about two seconds quicker!! That is F3 speed and then some! Completely mental I think you will agree.
