While the team focuses on the Rotax classes, due to their reliability and popularity, AJ Racing can also provide support to drivers with their own karts in the Honda Cadet and KZ2 classes. The team offers kart preparation, storage and transport of drivers' own karts to events as well as giving team members the option of transporting and maintaining their own kart should they have the equipment and space to do so. Since the main aim of AJ Racing is to provide the next step from rental karting, the team has karts available to hire to drivers aged 8+ from cadet through to gearbox karting. Kart hire with AJ Racing is as easy as usual arrive & drive karting - but much faster! The kart will be prepared for the driver upon arrival and will be looked after by team mechanics for the duration of the day. The cost of hire includes everything (tyres, fuel, mechanic) bar the track fee which is payable to the circuit.
The 125 Micromax class is a great starting point for 8-12 year olds getting into competitive karting. The 9.5 hp is reliable, cost effective and very forgiving of driving mistakes. The on/ off switch is simple to use for the younger drivers. The AJ Racing hirable Micromax is fitted to a Sodi 950 chassis which can reach speeds of 55mph. The class uses the new Vega cadet tyres which offer consistent grip while being very durable which keeps costs down.
The 125 Minimax class, for 10-13 year olds, offers more speed than the Micromax class but remains on the 950 chassis. The slightly grippier Mojo C2 tyre replaces the Vega cadet tyre which, along with a few other minor changes, makes Minimax 3 to 4 seconds quicker per lap than Micromax; great preparation to move up to the Junior class.
Junior Rotax enables drivers aged 12+ to jump into a full sized kart for the first time. As well as the step up in kart size, these engines produce 23hp - almost double that of the Minimax! AJ Racing has an MS Kart Junior Rotax available for hire which is a driver friendly kart used by JDR who AJ Racing has great links with.
Drivers aged 15+ can participate in this highly competitive class which offers 30hp to play with. A power valve and the high grip Mojo yellow tyre allow drivers to reach speeds of 75mph on many UK circuits!
KZ2 is the most popular gearbox karting class. The 6-speed 125cc engine enables drivers to accelerate from 0-60mph in less than 4s and reach the 90mph on standard kart circuits (known as short circuit gearbox) and up to 110mph on long circuits such as Silverstone, Donington and Oulton Park. While KZ2 provides a good oportunity for drivers to learn gears before stepping up to car racing, it's also commonly used by proffessional racers wanting to stay fit. With there being around 30 gear changes per lap on most UK circuits and no suspension in a kart, you can see why!
