Hi yes have to brake at most of the turns ! Never seen blue flags at open kart races anywhere! Yes they do have seat liners ! Get down there you’ll enjoy it Thanks for watching 😊

😂thanks so much for your comment, trust me I felt the same way!

😂 I was fuming, just glad I caught and overtook him !!

It is, just the way it goes ! He definitely knew we were the leaders no need to race us when he’s a few laps behind common karting sense !

Hi I can’t remember my fastest lap time in the sodi karts plus they upgraded them recently and I haven’t had a go !! In the D-MAX karts it’s a 66.3 done some time ago

Sorry when did we race together?

😊 thank you so much !

👍

Thank you! Appreciate it 😊

The rule at Daytona is half race on yellows!! Thanks for watching

Thank you ☺️ definitely should give them a go, Daytona do charge too much to have a go but as a one off would recommend !

Thank you for watching and your comment 😊

Thankyou for watching and your comments 😊your story is a bit like mine, love karting but never done it in my early years well at not least as much as I would have liked! now just about to reach a very big birthday year, I’ve really amerced myself into karting for the last 2 years! Actually I’ve just today booked my self into the Dmax superchamps season 2 Milton Keynes😁 so looking forward to it ! So well done for getting back into karting again for me there’s nothing better! Hopefully will meet up at a race, I’m thinking of coming down sometime to sandown! Good luck with catching those 2 seconds, I have no doubt you will get there !

😂 thanks for watching, it was so much fun! A battle or chase makes a race 😁

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks for your comment, I am very proud of all my trophies 😊

Thank you ☺️ for watching, I was so happy when I caught and passed !!

😂 I think so too, maybe I should have lifted, was maybe expecting to much for him to give me space !!

True, was maybe hoping he would of given me some space!

Thanks mate! 😊Still need to find another 1/2 second consistently to be challenging the quick karters!

That’s excellent advice thank you so much, I do try avoid wet conditions like the plague but sometimes you get unlucky, I’ll definitely put that into practice next time on a wet track 🙏🏽😊

😂 everyone was ramming into everyone! Do remember I wasn’t called in the guy behind me was, they just need a clearer way to identify who they want to go into the pits!

Coz teamsport and overall indoor gokarts are crap cant overtake at all witout hiting someone thats why im sticking to outdoor ones....real racing

@@surman1966 I agree!! I really only do outdoor, but I’m so Damm addicted to karting 😂 just do a bit of indoor for jokes !

There was a lot of bumping by everyone one, sometimes you get unlucky, so had to the right thing coz it did look like he was pointing at me! They need a better system to identify when there’s loads of karts together

Thanks for watching and commenting

It was a blast, when you’re fighting for the top positions it’s a rush like no other, I just love it! What’s the karts and tracks like around you ?

@@thegokarter8996 Actually I live near a great track that at one time had a very strong rental program. ( Trackhouse Motorplex, Formaly GoPro Motorplex in Mooresville NC) They just received a new fleet of CGR karts that are beautiful and will do 55mph. Wish they would do league races but Unfortunately the last couple of years they have ignored the league racers and mainly have focused on selling pizza. Those Daytona karts you are racing and the speed they do are awesome!!! I would love to come across one of those tracks one day.

Lots of pizza eaters I see !! That’s a shame !! sounds like a great karting track Daytona has even faster karts then the one in this video they are called D-MAX, now you would love them, they say they do around 70mph, shame they charge to much to use !!

Hi thanks for watching and your comment! 😊 some other people thought the same as you, but I can assure you that the kart on the inside had no contact with kart 16, he purposely steeredinto me! It’s ok had so much fun on that race, would have been nice to finish on the podium!

My brother in christ thats a 2011 - 2013 red bull

​@@Jasongilliar I wondered that too, but it sounds like a turbo hybrid, not a V8, but that could just be the low revs.

​@@thegreatstapleyyeah it sounds kinda like a modern car but the electric sound is Missing by the shifts, plus when it puls away the car begins a lil bit to scream, plus it has a high nose so yeah, probably with a modern livery

@@Jasongilliar The high nose is a good spot.

@@thegreatstapley yeah, plus it looks like it has infinity on the side of the car, or however you write that. The only car with that sponsor and a highnose would be the 2013 red bull, so its probably the 2013 red bull

Thanks for watching bro 👊

😂 being it the final lap, I had to take that opportunity on p2, I think most people would of done! My issue with the other guy is that he’s just recovered of a spin and was a few laps behind, he had no reason to accelerate and steer in to me,he’s not racing me should off just let me by like what most if not all back markers did !!

Thank you for watching and commenting! Firstly he shouldn’t even be trying to race me he was a lapped kart but ok fine! he bumped me to the outside leaving the space in the inside for the other guy. Trust me he done it purposely, maybe it’s one that you had to be there to know! Anyhow it was a great race for me loved the chase 😊

Thank you😊 I was going a bit mad but I knew I had him, if I could keep up through the back markers and yellows! I agree, you get all sorts in these open races but most of these lot were proper hazardous ⚠️

😂 not really bro, I find it interesting to see other people’s take on it, maybe it one that you have to be there to know, or just understand karting!! 😂 in my view lapped karts shouldn’t be trying to battle with the front runners 😝

@@thegokarter8996 I get what you’re saying mate but calling someone a wanker is harsh considering the circumstances. Things happen quickly in racing as you know. Maybe he thought he was racing you? Maybe he was confused? Maybe he got pushed wider (likely) by the guy on his inside? Did you speak to him after? Because calling him a wanker and claiming he steered into you without much evidence (which you may be able to see but we cannot see because of the angle), feels very clickbaity, or you’ve just come to a conclusion without considering other possibilities. Having raced there myself several times I know how important that corner is and how quickly it narrows on exit. I’ve been pushed wide there a few times… it’s not usually intentional it’s just hard racing and people scrambling into the last corner. I also know that you cut across him pretty aggressively before the corner, which made compromised your entry and exit.

@@CTOTHER I understand what you’re saying, I come across many situations in the many races I go to !! But take it from me this was intentional!!! He definitely didn’t think he was racing me he was 5 laps down! He didn’t get pushed wider by the other guy coz the other guy was behind him no contact between them! The cut across wasn’t bad, gave him enough room in the inside, and was a tact to keep the other guy behind, he blatantly steers in me, you can see that from my input on the steering. So harsh or not the quote is justified!! I’m not the type to say if I wasn’t 100% sure😊 Thanks for your feedback , maybe il see you down there sometime!

@@thegokarter8996 That’s fair enough but again you’re just saying things like “take it from me it was intentional” but we don’t know you lol, so why would we? We’ve also seen one angle which show us somewhat of your side but not his. How do you know there was no contact between them? It’s not at all obvious that he steers into you or at least purposefully anyways. I’m not saying you’re the type of guy to say it if it wasn’t justified but it feels like you’ve come to this conclusion without much evidence. Many of us in the comments feel the same so surely that says something 😅 Yeah man, I’m at whilton mill a lot if you’re ever there 🏁

its all good😊 I like to read people’s opinions, at least my video is half decent makes me happy 😆 all that work editing 😂 just sitting outside Daytona mk right now ! Just finished a race! these wet conditions definitely not for me don’t have the skills to perform, thought I’d do my last race of the year 😊 Whilton Mill never been it’s definitely one I wanna try hopefully next year, il let you know when I book, it would be nice to meet! Anyway happy new year bro!

just saw that bit back 😂 😂 some of guys in this race were proper 1st timer’s in these D-MAX karts

At last, someone with a bit of sense, 😊 thank you jack for your comment and for watching

I feel the same, but as I get always told there open races so you get all types of people “great”

Wish I could of had my own kart in my younger years, still do enjoy the hire kart races maybe il see you at a track soon

😂 true !! It does happen sometimes, on this day all the regulars were there, always fun to be challenged 😊

Hi it’s a open race GP60 anyone can join, 15min qualifying 40 min race

@@thegokarter8996 I thought so, think I did it a while back, is it midweek or weekend, I’m up for doing it again. Good video!

@@ChippyTimthey sometimes do gp60 on weekdays but always on Saturday and Sundays ! They have gp30 as well !! I may go this Sunday (looking at the weather) come down ? !!

Thanks for watching and commenting bro , I believe that too! the 1st guy I overtook was one to throw his hands in the air when he gets tapped try get me a black flag , it’s funny because he done similar to me a few laps before

I hoped the race stewards thought like you, it messed up my race!! All good though just love karting 😊

I thought so too!! Thanks for watching and commenting

Thanks for watching! But I have to say that your observation is wrong, 3rd didn’t push him, he was nowhere near him,and he definitely did do it on purpose!

Rye house is closest to me so go there often it’s a great track definitely worth the visit, PFI I haven’t been either I am in the process of planning to go, but need a number of people to private book because they don’t do open races!! Daytona Milton Keynes is my favourite track but don’t like there sodi karts to slow, there DMAX karts are awesome thou!!

@@thegokarter8996 I'll be up for it when you are ;)

@@kailykins that’s great!! il definitely keep you updated!! Where about’s do you live?? Im in north west london

@@thegokarter8996 manchester :) I raced with you in MK on the 22nd of October Still got a backlog of clips to put here on youtube :)

@@kailykins oh ok cool, il definitely let you know about PFI I have 4/5 people they need minimum 8 I think but would be fun if we had a few more, don’t really wanna do it in wet conditions so might have to be next year

Right he found a gap through a a corner and both times they literally ran him off the track but he got black flagged 😂

I feel the same but it’s not even that it’s just a minor incident this type of thing happens all the time, the other karter is one of those who throws his hands in the air when some one taps him to get the stewards attention!

thank you for watching and commenting

Thank you so much,😊

Hey thanks for watching and commenting! it may not seem so bad from footage, but believe me he pushed me wide purposely!! karts that are lapped, out of courtesy, shouldn’t be battling with the leaders!

😂 true!! The positive way of looking at it, I like it !!! If that’s what you were thinking!! But then it would of been a video of the last lap battle of me finishing 3rd 😀

@@thegokarter8996 Also true.

Thanks you for watching and your comments😊
