Who It Is For

Drivers 15 and up with real experience. TaG is not a starting point; it is a class for racers who have built racecraft in slower categories and want top-tier speed.

The Engine

TaG stands for touch-and-go: 125cc two-stroke engines, water-cooled, with an onboard electric starter so a driver can restart without help. They make far more power than an air-cooled KA100.

The Racing

TaG racing is fast and demanding, on the MG SM2 tire. It rewards a polished, confident driver, and it sits just below the Shifter kart at the top of the senior ladder.
