Granja Viana 500 mile race
The karts in this run a strange looking bodywork..unlike anything ive seen before. Does anyone know firstly what the karts are and secondly why they run such a huge amount of bodywork as it looks like the karts are much bigger than say a 250 long circuit gearbox kart

Where is this race? Sounds interesting-more like the old F4.

The race is held in Brazil.
The karts as far as I know are entirely normal single speed karts but with bodywork. I remember reading once that the bodywork: http://www.fittipaldionline.com/seas...cars/kart2.jpg is styled around the old can-am racers: http://www.bruce-mclaren.com/images/m8d_denny.jpg Highly believable, but very pointless, as it's 100% for the purpose of styling. |

Something that initially attracted me to this thread made me laugh, but I forgot what it was.. Just remembered though.. "Granja"

lol. If i was driving those karts i'd find it all too tempting to drive it like a Touring car rather than an open wheeler because of that bodywork. Reminds me of a time i took my mum on these stupid little 15mph twin seater 'fun karts' at a theme park, they had bodywork all the way round like a car, terrified her all the way round, was awsomme with the Touring Car style hit-n-run style though
