Concept of "K-TAI"

Concept of "K-TAI"

"K-TAI" has been held since 2001.

Initially, various types of karts such as those with missions and centrifugal clutches were used, but in order to make it easier to enjoy karting, 4-stroke sports karts were introduced in 2007 and from 2010, only 4-stroke sports karts were used. However, in 2021, a new class of electric karts using electric motors was established. The class structure allows for enjoyment from beginners to advanced users.

In terms of regulations, we have set limits on the amount of fuel per refueling and the obligation to stay in the pit, not only to ensure that the fastest kart wins, but also to affect pit strategies and provide the unique enjoyment of endurance racing.
Additionally, our "K-TAI" original element allows for the retrieval of stopped vehicles on the course by pit crew, making it possible to restart and continue driving until the checkered flag is reached.

Participation is possible from the age of 10, and teams can consist of three generations from grandfathers to grandchildren...

The Enjoy 7-Hour Endurance Race is confirmed to be held on September 7, 2025 (Sun)!
