PLAYING THE GAME
MICHAEL SCHUMACHER’S CART CAREER
Relive the start of the F1 Star Michael Schumacher’s career. Experience
the atmosphere of the best international cart tracks first hand and challenge drivers from all over the world to compete against you online.
Michael Schumacher started cart racing very early. Even though his father was less than enthusiastic about his son’s capital-intensive carting
ambitions, local benefactors who offered their financial support every
now and again preserved Michael to the sport. It was his father, who
built Michael’s first vehicle and who enrolled him at the Kerpen-Horrem
Kart Club.
Kart is the ultimate 3D cart simulation with 3 different race classes and carts, 17 tracks and a realistic driving experience.
The way the cart handles has been programmed to recreate the tense
and fast driving style found in real cart racing. The driving experience is
similar to the real cart tracks, where the difficulty of courses and opposition you face is continuously increasing. Online ranking allows you to
compare your performance with that of other drivers and the online
multiplayer mode even allows you to beat them face to face!
Choose your racing outfit, the colour and design of your cart, the name
of your racing driver and much more. Create your very own racing ace!
Learn how to drive your cart in realistic conditions and follow the footsteps of the legendary Michael Schumacher. You can train and improve
your abilities as you progress through the different tracks and classes.
FEATURES
• Experience driving realistic carts on 17 tracks around the world.
• Unlock new tracks and the more difficult faster classes by beating
skilled AI competitors.
• Take your cart for a fast spin in the Quick Race mode or practice your
skills in Practise Mode with a ghost feature.
• Take your earned carts and tracks to find new challenges online or
challenge your friends in a LAN race.
• Show off your best Lap and Track times in an online ranking on the
game’s website.
Michael’s enthusiasm for cart racing grew as the years went by. In 1980
the members of the Kerpen Karting club built a new racetrack in the
Manheim district of Kerpen. Michael and later his brother Ralf drove
here as often as they could.
Michael was however too young to enter the championship races and
had to wait until 1983 before getting his German carting licence. He
immediately went on to win the title of German Junior Champion in
1984. In 1985 he won the German Junior Championship again, and was
declared junior vice-world champion of Le Mans.
He first took part in the German Kart Championship in 1986 and got into
third position in the rankings, as well as finishing in third position in the
European Championship. In 1987 he had his first big success: Michael
Schumacher won the German Kart Championship and the European
Championship.
His great passion for carting is still alive and well. Whenever his albeit
very tight schedule allows, he will seat himself in a cart and race a couple of laps.
The fact that he is still taking part in the Kart Championships of the Formula Super A class (FSA) on his home track of Kerpen in Germany in
2001, shows that the fun and challenge of cart racing hasn’t been lost
to him. He also intends to take part in future cart championships.
In parallel Michael Schumacher is running several cart centres in Germany. Here budding and current racing fans can enjoy themselves with
the 200cc 4-stroke engines.

desired name. A green tick will appear and the name will turn to red.
You will also see green ticks behind the names others have vote for. All
players can change their selection until everyone has voted for the

Start the race!
When you feel you are ready to start the race, press the Ready button.
Your player name in the top right window will then turn green, as a sign
to all other players that you are ready to go. When all payers have pressed the Ready button the player hosting the server can start the race
by pressing the Start button in his screen (the Ready button changes in
the Start button when selecting it).
Note: the race can be started by the server without all players being in
ready mode.
TO CREATE A SERVER
Press the Create button to proceed to the Create Server screen. Here
you’ll find all the options to set up your own game server according to
your wishes.
Note: the player hosting the server cannot be voted for, nor can a player vote for himself. These names will thus have no tick box.
When someone else has started a vote, the Kick Vote button will blink
in your screen as a request for you to vote. Press the button to do so.
Track Vote
Press the Track Vote button to start a vote among all players which
track should be used for the next race. The top left window will then display all track names in red. To vote, tick the box next to the desired
track name and a green tick will appear. You will also see green ticks
behind the tracks others have vote for. All players can change their selection until everyone has voted for the same track. The track vote is
then passed and a message will appear in the message window. The
actual track change is automatically done by the game after a successful vote.
When someone else has started a vote, the Track Vote button will blink
in your screen as a request for you to vote. Press the button to do so.
Garage
Press the Garage button to customize your cart before the race. This
will take you to the Customization screen, see Customization chapter

them when they try to join your server. Leaving this input blank will
result in creating a server without password protection.

website.
You can drive three different cart types from three different racing classes in Michael Schumacher World Tour – Kart.

can then use in the game to submit your scores.

you get this cart under control you will be ready to make the step up to
the next class.
ICA CLASS

HINTS AND TIPS
Michael Schumacher isn’t the only great German cart driver who went
on to become a professional: Stefan Bellof, Bernd Schneider, Heinz Harald Frentzen are just a few who also trod this path.
If you have caught the carting bug, your best bet is to go to the nearest
indoor carting track. If you are keen at getting into a real racing cart
then talk to the motor sport associations (DMSB, DMV, ADAC) and you
could also look on the homepage of the German cart magazine
www.motorsport-xl.de.
Carting needs a lot of practice and is very demanding. Firstly you will
need a good level of fitness and concentration, great technical knowhow, talent, high motivation, controlled aggression, and last, but not
least experience. Whoever makes it to the top of carting has got all it
takes to achieve great things in racing.
One of the key factors in achieving good lap times is of course your cornering technique and the so-called racing line. It’s really important to
get a feel for the correct angle to exit a bend.
“Clean, but hard braking – driving into the bend late, but still hitting the
apex correctly – hitting the accelerator early, but not too early, accelerating away without loosing too much grip” could be a short summary
of cornering technique. You’ll have to find out the rest for yourself!
Wishing you lots of carting fun,
Yours,
Michael Bellmann
(German Karting Champion)
