In a nostalgic karting challenge for the 2025 champion's Quadrant YouTube channel, Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz reunited to test karts spanning over a century. Starting with a 1959 Twin Vill, Sainz surprised everyone by winning the first round with a time of 59.62 seconds, while Norris completed his lap in 1 minute. As they progressed through different eras, including a 1968 HKS and a 1979 DAP chassis, the performance and comfort of the karts improved significantly. Norris eventually clocked a time of 51.68 seconds in the 1979 model. The challenge culminated in a race using their 2026 karts, where Norris triumphed with a time of 40.91 seconds, edging out Sainz, who recorded 41.40 seconds. This event highlighted not only their competitive spirit but also the advancements in karting technology over the decades.
