- Possibly the fastest lap recorded this weekend in Karting Genk: Home of Champions for the European FIA Karting Championship was that of Andrea Kimi Antonelli Official (Argenti Motorsport / Kart Republic / IAME / MG Tires) during Friday's last Free Practice!
Shows what could have been if qualifying wasn't affected by the weather conditions!
Enjoy!

@@Real_ghostboi No
@@rasmus8408 you truly believe Kimi is a better karting driver than Max?
most of this was just kimi fiddling with the radiator lmao😂
i will come back here in the and of 2024 after he win a big thing
What is the average rpm you aim for with this engine in regards of gearing? The gearing sounded a bit "short" on the main straight, but I assume it is on purpose seeing the track profile.
You'd have to ask the driver or the team, but in general because the limiter is restricted to very low revs in these engines (14000rpm compared to the ability of such engines of the past to go up to 20000rpm, meaning your power starts from around 7000-8000rpm), you gain more speed out of the exit of the corners rather than the straight line.
So, you prefer to keep all your exits from the corners within the rev range rather than having a higher top speed, and sacrifice hitting the limiter very early on the straight line. Mind you, they're still hitting close to 140kmh depending on the track.
witch motor they use?
On what tyres was this done
MG Yellow
Kr2 or kr3 chassis?
I guess you'd have to ask the driver, but from what they have told us in the past, they're both very close in absolute laptime/performance, they're testing all possibilities before the race to see what suits better the characteristics of the specific race (tires, longetivity needed, temperature, asphalt characteristics and so on) and choosing just before the final session.
@@theRaceBox Im not shure but i think its a kr3 chassis
@@snqkz I wouldn't know, you'd have to ask the driver himself. Also, keep in mind that chassis allowed in the FIA races don't necessarily have to be production chassis. They can be within a certain deviation of the homologation, which is quite large.
@@theRaceBox yeah you see how the FIA still allows these silly things, the reason why you can’t get an official frame and feel secure about what you’re getting. I talked a bit to the official teams here and they ask about 17k-21k US dollars to race with them but that’s Just too much even for the world championship in Brazil. They make in season changes to the frames so it’s impossible to keep track with them much less to compete, you’ll be nowhere. This happens a lot kart republic it seems not so much with other brands like OTK I think.
people say “costs are too high” but the real problem are the stupid regulations. They scare off pretty much everyone at the end of the day
@@v12style67 when you buy a Renault or Mercedes, are you secure you're getting the Formula1 car? Or, more "down to earth" when you buy a Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki race bike, is it going to be the same as the MotoGP or the Superbike?
The FIA European Championship is by far the top level of karting where all the material gets developed. You can't expect that this material is the same you will receive as a customer for a fraction of the cost, nor that if you received this material it would be good for your race track conditions. It's unrealistic.
You have to do your own research and testing to see what feels better where you drive. But for sure a winning factory in the European Championship will give you winning material for your local meetings.
