- Having decided to move up to the fastest Superkarting racing class, I have just collected my new Division 1 Superkart VM Racing Engine for 2022 from Harvey Motorsport.
These engines are made in Czech Republic and are bespoke to high revving Superkarts! They have a 6-speed sequential Gearbox and can hit speeds of up to 160mph.
There will be another video coming very soon with my new Anderson Division 1 Superkart Chassis, however it is currently in production.

…..March 2023……you’ve retired from Superkarts…..why?!!!!
I thought, maybe you ‘ran’ other drivers(who can’t spanner) as part of your team, at a cost, obviously Rob.
Cheers Ian
That motor looks a work of art! I’m surprised that you can still use 2 strokes and rules haven’t pushed you all to four strokes like the motor bikes? Good luck for the year Rob 👍
I really appreciate your support Rob! Thank you mate! To answer your question the twin cylinder 250cc 2 stroke engines remain to be the fastest engine homologated for Superkarts. The 450cc 4 stroke is actually growing substantially over the years and is a very popular class, similar to that of the 250cc single engine class (similar speeds). I honestly can’t wait to show you my upcoming races in the twin! Hope you join me on here for the next one! 👍🔥 take care
coz karting isn't full of weak people. 2-stroke for life. Also the move to 4-steokes on bikes was forced really by the major manufacturers. Karting is full of almost exclusively 2-stroke engine manufacturers. MX/SX would still be 2-stroke if it were up to competitors.
Finally somebody makes superkart vlogs, waiting for so long I have to say this is fantastic ! Good Luck, I´m looking forward to follow the journey. Cheers Mate
I really appreciate it mate!! I’m racing at cadwell next week so hopefully another race vlog coming soon!!! Plus race onboard videos!!
Flat slides and rotary disc valves. Very cool
I think my technical knowledge held me back a bit! I’m deffo more the driving side of things, but I think people like yourself with a lot more knowledge can still enjoy this type of thing! Hopefully catch you on the next video mate!
All I keep thinking is "I wonder what that'd be like in a motorcycle"!
Probably incredible matey!!! And cadwell park of course!
One of the guys(I think builders name was Roland Sands)from the Discovery Show biker Build off put one in a bike. It was mostly for a TV show so not much follow up on performance.
Peaky?
It is basically like 250cc twin 2-stroke motogp/sportbike from the past.
Really insightful, you seem to know your stuff. I wish you all the best in the new season and hope you can get the most out of the new engine!
Thank you brother!! 🏁🏁🏁🔥🔥🔥
Have a great season Rob 👍👍🏁🏁🏁🏁
Wow. Congratulations man, can't wait to see you shred that thang.
Thank you mate! Means a lot! I’ll be giving it some that’s for sure!! If In doubt… go flat out!! 💪😂🔥🔥
Thanks a lot! Was very interesting to see the machinery. Wish You clean races and a best of luck in upcoming season!
It was my first time doing this kind of ‘vlog/update’ sort of video so very different for me! I would imagine it get easier with time lol! 😂 next video will be the collection of my new Chassis which I can’t wait!! Hit the subscribe mate and catch you on the next one 🔥
@@MyRob10 And we hope - not the last ;) For me - it was absolutely sufficient and efficient one. Perfect timings for speech and for graphical.
@@alexandersoroka4438 means a lot mate!! See you on the next one! 🔥💪
Hoo hoo, nice! Proper beastie. Good luck for the 2022 season mate. Give it large!👊🏻
Thank you Simon!! I will be giving it the full beans!! Can’t wait for Silverstone test day coming soon in Feb! Then first race at Silverstone Full GP circuit in March 12th!! Please subscribe and come on this journey with me matey!! 🔥🔥
@@MyRob10 I already have, a few weeks back. Have fun during the test.
Great upload, keep them coming!
Will do!! Next week a Superkart Q&A will be posted!! Any questions let me know mate!
Nice watch, the motor, insane.
Thank you my friend! Glad you enjoyed it! Can’t wait to bolt this engine onto the upcoming new chassis! Stay tuned! 👌🏁🏁🏁
A prediction? Prepare yourself for a very sore face after your first run in your new cart with this engine. Why? Your smile for the entire time - and you won’t be able to, as it’s said, ‘wipe it off your face’. Can’t imagine the speeds you’ll achieve! As others have already said, best wishes for your safety, success and fun during the season ahead! 🙌🏻
Thank you mate!! I really appreciate it! We should be hitting around the 160mph mark so it’s pretty insane!! I’m doing a Superkart Q&A video next week so let me know if you have any questions for the video! 🔥🔥
The forced air box was already used for the Rotax 256 in 1985
Yes it is brilliant 🤩
Looking forward to seeing you in action in a couple of months time @ Silverstone on the full grand prix circuit
Thank you mate! It’s going to be a hard learning curve in the new Superkart but it’ll be fun to watch regardless! I’ll be giving it the full beans! 🔥 appreciate the support and see you at Silverstone video soon!! 🏁🏁🏁
Should be good going thro' maggotts and becketts in a twin
@@leeburgess9296 it will be a hold on tight moment that’s for sure mate! 👀😬😱
why did you choose this engine over a PVP? Is it cheaper? I noticed the pvp has a autoblip on the upshift , i'm geussing the VM does not have this? Would be interesting to know what the rebuild hours/cost is vs the single cylinder 250, i'm guessing its shorter because its higher revving? I ran a single cylinder 200cc TKM back in the day on short tracks, the 16000rpm meant it had to be rebuilt every 8 hours of running! I hope you use your helmet cam for this season as the footage is mega! good luck for the season!
Great question mate! The PVP is undoubtably a great engine. A few factors came into play as to why I chose VM. 1) was that the all the top runners in the division 1 Superkart class are on the VM engine. 2) I am apart of the Redspeed Team and my team mate is also on a VM so we can share data and support each other. 3) I am in close links with Harvey Motorsport who are the VM engine UK importer and I use their dyno services too. 4) spare parts are fully readily available and easily accessible. Taking all that into account the VM seemed the right package for me mate! Ah the helmet cam footage, I actually got blacked flagged after 1 lap at Donnington for having it on! However I will deffo try again! 😂💪🔥
Hi Rob, great vids, look forward to racing you in this years championship. 👍
I don’t suppose you could give CHRacing Carl Hulme a mention in your reports, I’ve also been trying to promote the behind the scenes eg, in the shed, desperate to get more subscribers. See you soon. 👍
Hi Carl, ofcourse mate! You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours 😉😂 are you testing on the 27th?
Cool Rob my scooter is 125 and makes 14hp
Got to love those little 125 scooters mate!! Nothing wrong with that! bet it's fun! 😎
It is yes my first one. Crazy how much pop they can get from a 250 some proper engineering there. Best of luck with the extra horses. It's obvious you have the ability.
@@seanadamson280 ah mate that means a lot! Yeah it’s very surprising for sure!! They are Utterly crazy to drive so can’t wait to share my first race with everyone on here! 🚀💪 catch you on the next one dude! 🏁
Love this mate! What is the top speed of that bad boy!
About 160mph mate!! Absolutely rapid! For context around Oulton Park, lap record of a Porsche 911 turbo is 1:57 and lap record of these is 1:34 😱😱😱
@@MyRob10 bloody hell that's quick! It's hard to get an idea of speed from your cart footage but that puts things in perspective.
Your either bonkers or crazy!
Good luck with the season mate!
@@MyRob10 love that mate, looking forward to coming watch a race!
B.S
top speed is 135mph 140 max.
@@gokartbob6478 hi mate, unfortunately you are wrong, they have done over 150mph - fact.
How much would a twin cylinder kart cost to purchase both new and second hand? Where is a good source to find a twin cylinder kart for sale. Thanks in advance rob
It really does vary! You can pay anything from 10K 2nd hand right up to 20K + for brand new! I would recommend either Anderson Karts or harvey motorsport!
You didn't say how much the engine costs $$$ ???
Thanks, and good luck.
🏁😎👍
Haha!! The only way I can describe it is… A LOT!! 👀😂 (for me anyway)!!
@@MyRob10 over 10k?
What is the power output, and rpm power band ,,, 100+ bhp
Hi mate, it’s about 13,000 RPM, 6 gears and 100bhp
Are these engines two or four-stroke?I have a Rotax RM1 that;s why I'm asking.
2 Stroke!
if u put on two wheel, u have bike who can beat 600cc superbike right??
Hahaha, put a turret on it and it’s still not a tank
where do you get the engine from
Harvey Motorsport 👏💪
Are they not running a championship in 2023?
Yeah there is the BSRC Superkart championship in 2023 matey!
Can we use that engine for Motorcycle??
I guess yes you could… but they run on the knife edge to extract maximum performance
@@MyRob10 if u put on two wheel, u have bike who can beat 600cc superbike right??
@@Dsky-vu3nz it would be a very very quick bike lol
Giveme used shifter engine ....😅
Hahah they are absolutely fantastic
I love 2 stroke engines and this must be close to the pinacle .
Yeah pretty much! Doesn’t get better than this matey!
Another rotax clone - no more innovation?
Well this is the most advanced Twin cylinder 250cc bespoke Superkart engine there is. Hence why the top European lads use it and set lap records.
@@MyRob10 My point is that it's still based on the rotax 256 from the 80's and 90's. I'm surprised there hasn't been any further engine designs.
@@jeffmclaird6597 well, I don’t know much but I know that the latest VM engines are out of this world
Two different cranks….that’s weird af
Specially made for Superkarts… work of art 🔥
