I remember those days too. We had 2 lifts in Carinthia, (in Villach and in Greifenburg), but they were closed because of the high costs and the low utilization. unfortunately.
Children have an advantage not only because of their weight, but also because of their low anxiety. This is also noticeable in other sports and you have certainly already noticed it.
All in all, GoKart is an absolutely awesome sport and I like it.
