STOXKARTS
ABOUT STOXKARTS
UK short oval contact racing for Juniors and Seniors.
Built on equal equipment and close competition.
WHAT IS STOXKARTS
Stoxkarts is a UK short oval contact racing formula for Junior and Senior drivers, using purpose-built steel chassis with full roll cages, bumpers and controlled components.
A Stoxkart is not a traditional go-kart. It is a compact short oval stock car designed for contact racing.
Stoxkarts are built to a controlled specification and use sealed Honda GX390 engines, creating a consistent and structured racing formula where driver ability matters more than spending.
Short Oval Tracks
Raced on shale and tarmac short oval tracks across the UK.
Standard Specification
All karts are built to the same core specification.
WHAT MAKES STOXKARTS DIFFERENT?
One of the things that makes Stoxkarts different from many other racing formulas is that costs are controlled from the start.
The formula is designed so drivers can race competitively without huge budgets, extensive engineering knowledge or expensive support equipment.
Stoxkarts feature:
-
Sealed and dyno-tested engines
-
Controlled components
-
Virtually no setup adjustments
-
No suspension development
-
No expensive shock absorbers
-
No complex steering systems
-
No expensive differentials or gearboxes
-
No tyre preparation
-
No wheel rim offsets to experiment with
Stoxkarts can be stored in a normal shed or small garage and transported behind most family cars or in a standard van.
Tyres last for several meetings and, because the formula is tightly controlled, there is very little equipment development required to remain competitive.
The focus stays firmly on driver ability, racecraft, consistency and close competitive racing.

Racing takes place on UK short oval tracks, on both shale and tarmac.
It follows traditional stock car racing, where controlled contact is permitted.
