At present the quickest karts I've driven are Club 100 machines. With a 115cc 2-stroke they go quite nicely compared to regular arrive and drive things like Prokarts, but I've got a itch that needs to be scratched, and that's to have a go at driving something a bit quicker. It doesn't have to be more than a handful of laps really but I'd like to see what an even more powerful is like. I think the Club 100 karts are around 18bhp. Any way I could drive something with 30bhp+, without having to buy it?

Take a look at darley moor and the superkart school, I think you can have a day driving superkarts for a small fee

You don't get huge amounts of seat time in the Superkarts at Darley DAle, but it is a experience everyone should have!

You can also hire out Aixro 50s through Aim Motorsport. They are 50hp rotary karts and are very fast. They run test days for them and you can race them (non-msa) if you wish.

Thanks for the leads so far but I should've said, it really needs to be in the South East, within about 50 miles of London.

Ebay a Parilla tt75, or ate 90's sirio.
Put on kart with no lead.
Back as a junior, we were alledgedly clocking 118 mph at golspie - before the fun police got rid of junior 100b and made crappy tkm the dominant race series.

Try Jack Dex, runs mainly from Whilton Mill and has got a few of us Club100 guys in a rotax, they are a lot quicker than the Club100 karts.

Get a fair amount of seat time and you can split the cost of the day between a few of you it works out not too dear.

Pm me if you want more info.

I had a day driving Rotax in Canada a couple of years ago and it was by far the most fun I've ever had on four wheels - insanely capable machines. If I wasn't fat, old and bereft of all talent I'd be seriously tempted to do some enduros.

I'm not sure of the exact speeds but I expect the DMax Karts at Daytona Sandown will be plenty quick enough - give them a call and check their arrive & drive options on the Dmax Karts

They are better than the usual 4 stroke stuff, and a fair bit faster on the straights but they won't set the world on fire. It sounds like the OP has already played enough at this level and wants more...
