ICA 100cc direct drive versus ICC 125cc shifter

Information about ICA engines has been posted on this blog before. Here’s another post just to show how fast and powerful a 100cc engine can be. This is an onboard video of an ICA kart versus an ICC kart. An ICA kart is a 100cc engine, direct drive kart, with sticky tires at a low weight (335 lbs in the US). ICC karts are 42 horsepower shifter karts. Michael Schumacher drove an ICC powered kart at the Supernationals a few years back. ICC karts are a little bit quicker than the normal shifter kart you see at the track here in the US. They have about 8 more horsepower than a stock moto shifter kart. There is no way to tell if either driver is at spec weight, how their tires are or who is even driving well, but it is easy to gather from the video that an ICA powered 100cc kart is an absolute monster. Very interesting video. Enjoy!
