You’ve seen NASCAR. You’ve seen Formula 1. Maybe you’ve even caught some rallycross. But have you heard of crosskart racing? If your answer is “Nope” — don’t worry, most people haven’t.
Here’s the thing: crosskart racing is blowing up worldwide. And once you see it in action, you’ll understand why it’s being called the most exciting grassroots motorsport on the planet.
What Exactly is Crosskart Racing?
A crosskart is essentially a lightweight, off-road racing machine powered by a motorcycle engine. Strap yourself into a roll cage, fire up a 750cc sportbike motor, and take off on dirt, gravel, or rallycross tracks. That’s it. That’s the magic.
It’s motorsport stripped to its core: speed, dirt, chaos, fun.
Why it’s Exploding in Popularity
Crosskart racing has been huge in Scandinavia and Europe for years. But now, it’s spreading across North America like wildfire. Why?
- Affordable adrenaline – Get rally-level thrills for under $10k (instead of six figures).
- Accessible – Clubs, leagues, and DIY builders are popping up everywhere.
- Versatile – Run them on dirt, gravel, rallycross, or even short pavement courses.
- Pure racing – No electronics, no overengineering. Just driver skill, engine power, and the dirt beneath your tires.
It’s the racing world’s best-kept secret — but not for long.
What Does it Feel Like to Drive a Crosskart?
Imagine this:
- You slam the throttle. The engine screams past 10,000 RPM
- The back end slides sideways as you throw dirt into the air
- Every corner is a gamble between control and chaos
Driving a crosskart is like strapping yourself to a rocket with wheels. It’s raw, loud, dirty, and addictive.

- Want the feel of rallycross without selling a kidney to afford it
