Hong Kong Kart Club LTD.

Do not rush into this sport with too little preparation. If you do, you may quickly tire of minor setbacks and never enjoy the real fun of Karting. Go and attend one of the Race Meetings. Look over the types of equipment in the pits, study them in action and talk to the owners or drivers. Most karters will be happy to discuss the merits of various products and give you their valuable experience.

小型賽車種類繁多, 新參加者選擇車架時應詳細考慮其設計及機件性能, 否則一經購入, 未符理想, 興趣迅即索然。本會更希望有興趣參加者親臨比賽參觀, 更可與在場車手交換心得, 體會一下小型賽車之樂趣！

小型賽車運動是車手速度之比試，但車手往往忽略了賽車的結構及維修等問題。單純依靠機械師為賽車跟進機械問題是不足夠的，車手應為自己的賽車進行安全檢定才進入賽道，並在練習時注意安全駕駛。

以下是一些出車前及練習時所須注意的安全守則重點，以供參考。

出車前必需檢查賽車上的縲絲是否已上緊，尤其是尾軸及車輪縲絲。

• 進入及離開賽道時必須減慢車速(約時速3公里)，並須舉起單手示意後來賽車。
• 切忌反方向進出賽道。
• 如賽車在駕駛途中發生故障，在未了解問題前，不要觸摸動力部份，如引擎、齒輪及制動碟等。
• 如賽車不小心失控，甚至反車，車手應留在座位內，雙手握緊方向盤，觀察沒有後來車輛，才可在安全情況下將賽車拉上草地，並等待工作人員協助。
• 如失控後打算繼續練習，必須注意有沒有後來賽車追上，以免發生不必要的碰撞。
• 車手視線應盡量望遠一點，留意前方有沒有停下來的賽車。
• 練習時應以訓練為原則，無謂的拼搏可免則免。

小型賽車簡介

小型賽車是賽車運動的一種。賽車運動的舉行是受到管制的。目前許多國家都設立賽車會，而世界各國的賽車會都受到世界賽車聯會 (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile 簡稱FIA)管轄。香港小型賽車會就是獲得授權控制及管理本港之小型賽車活動。
