I remember watching this over and over while in the car about 8 months ago for my first ever time karting, My first race my best lap was a 1:13:2, I was so mortified I nearly quit karting altogether. however i pushed on. Yesterday I did a Monday members night and Won the race by 11 seconds over second with my fastest lap being a 45.3. Thank you so much LTR for getting me into karting, if it wasn't for your videos i wouldn't be here today, Cheers mate!
Advice:
Down the bridge... Hug that outside barrier and use the thin silver line as your turning point. Be smoother on the steering for less sliding which = a few tenths gained. Into the chicane a lift into the left hand one is sometimes a better idea to get the nose turned in, because as i said before, it reduces the sliding. All round tip is be as smooth as possible on that steering wheel!
Also around the flat out bend by pit lane, hug the inside barrier allllllll the way round instead of going against the left hand barrier
Ive been hoping for you to reply 👍 ill take that all on board and give it a shot next time round, i knew i was getting the pit straight wrong after watching it back
thanks luke
Thanks for the tips, I really have trouble nailing the first corners before the flat out pit straight, fastest was a 46.2 which I'm quite proud of but I had to spend half the time allowing the much faster people overtake me since it was a GP2 race 🤣
Awesome stuff dude, I'm glad this has come in handy for you, great time too
Great video. Gave me some solid prep for my race today. 👏
Getting the corner right before entry to the hill is absolutely crucial for your overall time.
Good marshalling today but we’re racing against a party of rule breakers, happy to get physical at every opportunity. Not a lot of clean racing out there but it only costed them race time in the end 😁
Cheers for the rundown, Andy 👍🙏
For a second I thought there was a second indoor track in Birmingham Alabama(where I live) that I didn’t know about. Good vid either way
Helped me immensely, I've been braking way too much lol.
That first hairpin gets me though, need to work on that
Awesome man, I'm glad to hear it, yeah that first hair pin has alot of more grip on entry than you expect so you can brake really late
@@LearnToRace bingo, just been back and braking late is def the key, I'm still buzzing
I went here for the first time on Saturday 23/04/22 and managed to get 47.1 actually quite impressed considering yours on a kart a lot more than me 😅😎
Solid time dude, you'll have to go more often you'll be smashing it then
@@LearnToRace a lot of the guys I went with said that also. Think I’m going again in June for my bros birthday 👌🏼
@@CalebAnderson97 awesome man enjoy it and have fun
i went last night for the first time, first time karting, and manage a 50.1 cant wait to go again, got loads of idiots who wouldnt slow down on yellows and really ruined both sessions but i managed a couple booting laps :D
@@JBWRacing nice one ! Tbh on the first lap out I was concentrating on the track too much and didn’t see a red flag the car in front (Member driver) come to a very quick stop and I ploughed into the back of him almost full speed 🫣 he wasn’t happen let me tell you 😂😂
Great video mate. Hope to see you at the Leicester track at some point.
Thanks, im down there tonight actually
@@LearnToRace awesome mate. Good luck
Do you think at the age of 38 is considered late at karting?
Not at all
Awesome video and breakedown. Hope I can knock a couple of seconds off my PB with your tips!
Let me know if you do, I need to go back for a clean session to try and beat this time
@@LearnToRace Update.. I did it! Down from 51.2 to 48.9 today! Legend mate this video really helped. Keep it up 🤙🤙Now to crack 47
@@ASeSkater awesome dude keep at it, I need to get back to this track soon
@@LearnToRace Cheers dude. Me and David are there this Wednesday for the 50 lapper at 8:10 if you fancy it
@@ASeSkater I'm working lates this week so don't finish till 9pm so no can do
Happy 400!
Thank you mate
I loved this track but we ended up on the track full of idiots who didn't know what they was doing ended up with a red light most the time we was on the track 😂. Booked in for a later time this weekend so hopfully not so many young ones there 🤞🤞. Great video by the way 😂 I needed to see how people do the ramp
I know your pain, last time I was here our first 15 minutes we got 6laps in, seem to get alot of idiots at this place for some reason which is a shame cuaee it's a really good track
Enjoy it and let me know if you get on any better
Yes we worked out if you go later it's much better. I got a 49.0 my second time there with less idiots on the track. Not the best but pretty good for me
@@ggmagnetfishinguk that's still not far off to be honest so you should happy with that time, I'm glad you had a decent session though, I need to get back and give it another go
Been karting 3 times ever so far, all 3 at this track and best so far is a 49.9 so... yea, a lotta time to find o.0
Probably because my braking technique is super unrefined tbh... I think my lines are ok but I'm not exactly finessing the brake pedal lol
You'll get there mate, practice practice and more practice, I've only been properly karting for 2 years now and when I say 'properly' I mean I'd only karting like 4 or 5 times prior so no real experince, I'd probably be better if I took it alot more seriously but for me it's just a hobby and I wanna have fun with it
Idk if this will work with you but just before the ramp/bridge the right turn. I stamp the brakes and send the backside sideways if you get what I mean and kinds like drift/keep the revs as high as possible for the ramp
I was doing that a little I think but this was only my first time there so I know I've loads of tiime I'll find with more sessions there
@@LearnToRace Oh nice. Very good time for first time there. This is my local track, go once a month. Sick track. Love you videos btw
@@RubbaDingyRapids yeah this is a great track, only been twice, last time I went it was awful, 6 laps in 15 minutes, all the people on our session were idiots lol thank you
I am 91kg - 47.0 sec. What is your weight @Learn to Race?
At that weight a 47.0 is a good time man, I'm 75kg so the weight difference between me and you is maybe worth a tenth or 2 especially with the up ramp here being straight after a hairpin
which site is this track as i would like to book
I'm going here this Friday
Good luck and have fun
Is this track better than ts bristol and birmingham?
Hi man where did you mount your gopro on your helmet?
I have a chin mount for it so mounts right in front of my mouth vent under the visor
I’m not the best go karter. I have only done go karting twice. However, this shedded 5 seconds of my lap time. Manage to get 49 seconds on my second time at go karting thanks.
That's awesome dude, great news, bet you were happy with that
Learn to Race Yeah I think the late breaking catches me out a little faith that go kart will stick whiles turning can be a problem to. Most likely where I’m losing those extra 3 seconds.
@@thespectrum1747 yeah once you get used to how late you can brake you'll find heaps of time, it's amazing how quick you can get a kart slowed down, some hair pins too you wanna lock the rears a little to start a slide and get the kart rotating
It's all about practice though, I've only been really into karting properly for the last 18 months or so and for alot of that we haven't been able to go so I'm no expert with plenty of room for improvement
Learn to Race 18 months woow. You are very quick. I would of thought you have been doing it for years. I’m hoping to do some of those championship go karting races they have at TeamSport Birmingham. But I want to get into the 46-45 seconds before I do that. Have you done them before?
@@thespectrum1747 yeah I only started this channel back in August last year to track my progress and probably went karting about 10 times before that over my whole life (I'm 33 so pretty late to the party)
Nah I don't take part in the championships because of my work I can't make it to any of the regional finals with them being in the week, I would have qualified this year too, just keep practicing and you'll get the times you want
Just went there
Hey dude, please can we feature your video?
Try Dunstable it’s a realy good track and I’m 1st for the BIKC juniors my name is jayden
Never mind just found out I’m 2nd
Yeah been looking at that track, would probably head to Watford track too whilst I'm down there
Did a 51.2 today
Not good but there was too many slow people on track blocking the way
Yeah you get days like that especially at brum so don't be disheartened
@@LearnToRace I’ve done way better at other tracks but those aren’t as good as this one
@@S55_Marquise yeah this track is always hard to get a good session at
@@LearnToRace yeah. From memory this track wasn’t too bad last time I went
my PB there is 46.8
Oooh nice time. My fastest time is a 45.5
Mines a 45.0
@@kaiandrew9770 Nice. Very quick. Probably cuz of your weight advantage. How much you weigh?
@@RubbaDingyRapids 75kg
@@kaiandrew9770 your times does not look as true. I couldn`t find your name in Top Times. I`m 91kg - 47.0 sec
@@edzik2000 during the new year period they deleted all of the laps on the leader board I think so the ones in the top ten now were set this year I can still see the race that I did it in so if you really want to see then I can find a way to send it to you 🤷♀️
Not as easy with other people
