TAG vs Shifter Karts

Go Karts have different categories depending on experience & skill level. In this episode we wanted to explain the differences between a TAG (Touch & Go) kart and a Shifter kart (gearbox). First and foremost, one category is a single speed class and the other has a six-speed gearbox. The horsepower difference is roughly 30hp vs 38-40hp for a shifter kart & one class has rolling starts the other has standing starts. So getting your head around the driving differences can be challenging to start if you don't know what to do. If you need more information about shifter driving, we have a program created by North America's fastest shifter driver Danny Formal who teaches you the ins & outs at https://kartclass.com/products/the-ar... Let us know below if you've driven a shifter kart and the challenges you may have had.
