Go Kart or karting is a variant of open-wheeler motor sport with simple, small four-wheeled vehicles called karts, go-karts, or gearbox/shifter karts depending on the design.

By definition a kart must have no suspension (relying on chassis flex), and no differential (solid back axle). They are usually raced on scaled-down tracks, but are sometimes driven as entertainment or as a hobby by non-professionals. Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone to the higher and more expensive ranks of motorsports.

Go Karts were initially created in the United States in the 1950s post-war period by airmen as a way to pass spare time. Art Ingels is generally accepted to be the father of karting. He built the first kart in Southern California in 1956. Karting has rapidly spread to other countries, and it currently has a large following in Europe.

According to survey made by The Resonate Brendel Racing Team go kart racing is sport fully occupied by males; only about 5% of go-kart racers are females. Following the survey, the best part of go kart racers are married between 31 and 40 years old men, having no children.

For safety, besides helmet and go karting gloves, go kart racers prefer to wear one piece karting suite and neck-collar, however they don't thing that fire-protection is necessary.

Hard inquiries and accidents in racing go-carts are rare, but amateurs should always remember one rule - never dekart in racing track; wait for a support inside go-kart in any situation.
