The IAME Kid Kart US class features the M1 Bambino — a purpose-built 50cc 2-stroke engine tailored for introducing young drivers to kart racing. With a simple pull-start system and dry centrifugal clutch, the engine prioritizes ease of use and smooth drivability, making it ideal for ages 5 to 7. This class is a standardized entry point at clubs across North America and is now faithfully represented in KartSim Pro North America. The virtual model includes accurate power curves, clutch engagement behavior, and low-speed handling, offering young drivers and teams an authentic training environment before hitting the real track. Perfect for early-stage skill development, including throttle control, steering precision, and basic racecraft fundamentals — both on track and in simulation.
