Karting Through The Streets Of The Isle Of Man Is Just Nuts

No, these are 250cc shifter karts, 0-100 km/h in about 3 sec and have top speeds of around 200 km/h. Gotta be fit as fuck to drive these things lol

I realise they're crazy fast, the video just doesn't look right. Even they way the people walk at the end, it looks to me like it's sped up 20-30% or something.

Compared to these:

I'd love to be wrong!
 
Excuse me for my ignorance, but what is the left pedal for in the first video?

It´s obviously not a clutch because he doesn't press it while upshifting (unless hes upshifting without the clutch?)...

Is it to control front/rear brakes independently?

Like a car.

It's a 2 stroke 5 or 6 speed.
They barely use the clutch depending of the situation.

Yeah make sens I though about it but I wasn't sure if he was really upshifting all gears without the clutch haha

Same with a sport bike, I never used the clutch upshifting except first gear.

Usually the clutch on a shifter kart is a hand lever behind the steering wheel, but on this one it's a pedal for the clutch. You only use it to get going, the rest is just letting go of the throttle when shifting.
