Honda Racing School Suzuka

Kart Class

The foundation of motorsports starts with karting!
Top-level kart technique and knowledge can be acquired!

The machine that children aiming to become top drivers in 4-wheel motorsports can first drive is a racing kart. In the HRS Suzuka Kart class, we use karts that are small but allow children to learn authentic racing skills, and we have a curriculum that allows them to systematically learn motorsports from an earlier age than the age at which they can participate in races.
In the initial curriculum, you will learn the rules and meanings of flags required when "running on the circuit", and then you will learn machine maintenance to understand the structure of the machine necessary to fully bring out the performance of the machine in races.

In practical training, top drivers check the techniques of braking, accelerator work, and line taking by driving with students.
We will further improve the good points and give accurate advice to fix the bad parts through personal instruction. After mastering the basics of driving, we will conduct lessons in the same driving style as actual practice. You will learn how to drive in a group, which is different from solo driving, using your head and body.

In addition, starting in 2020, we will establish an "Advance Course" as an intensive and elite class, and introduce a curriculum that takes into account future steps such as training and participating in overseas races, aiming to excel in the world from a young age.
As a result, students who have completed the Basic Kart Class in the previous year will be selected as top performers and granted eligibility to take the "Advance Course".
