Is that a 125cc engine? And is it a shifter kart? Yes, 125cc Rotax DD2 (Direct Drive 2 speed) 32Hp I think of it as a step below a "real"shifter which is normally 42+ HP with 6 speed gearbox. chain drive.Shifters are difficult to drive well especially on short tracks. One time I ran against a shifter with a friend's buddy driving on a small track, He was really good he blew past me like I was running a 10hp 4 stroke. Big difference between a shifter/DD2 and most race karts is shifter karts have F&R brakes.where as most karts are rear only.. Best workout on 4 wheels.

So is your kart a single (center) rear disc brake along with the double front discs I see? Also is that a Dell'Orto carburetor I see there? 36mm or 38mm carb? LOOKS LIKE LOTS OF FUN!
