  • @wusspoppin7873
    @wusspoppin7873 Před 5 lety +976

    From a 2nd place in state championship go kart race, here's my advice:
    1. The steering wheel stuff is all true. Weight distribution is a key part in karting.
    2. Leaning into the corners will actually hurt your times and leaning outwards actually helps greatly, distributing weight easily. Just let your body hang loose. This won't have any effect on indoor karts though.
    3.Late apexes are super helpful on hairpins. Listen to this guy's advice.
    4. As long as they're stable, hitting barriers while on straights won't hurt you. They sometimes help.
    5. The BIGGEST mistake I see new karters do is drift. It looks cool, yeah, but it is SO detrimental to your times. It can kill a good lap.

    • @nunyabusiness896
      @nunyabusiness896 Před 5 lety +28

      Yep on all points. Leaning out is worth it even if the kart is too heavy/stiff to flex and lift the inner tire as pre-emptively leaning out helps to stabilize you for the turn so you don't try to hold yourself with the wheel. It also helps keep you from getting tired as fast since you're resting on the seat rather than trying to resist the G forces with your muscles.

    • @aero5184

    What's also important: use everything you have & maximize everything. Even if you're unable to train in the car at the moment, you can still take care of the fitness side of things, or strategy; so studying other POVs, or train focus or something like that. That's what it's all about.

      IMO the non-electrics are a whole different story, throttle response tends to be a lot later from what I’ve experienced so you have to counter stuff like that, and of course the electrics have the instant torque as a benefit as well

    cheers

    • @espenevo
      @espenevo Před 3 lety

      Yes, well these are indoor electric carts and the surface is concrete so less grippy than a regular outside track. It's pretty tight and with the electric drive, there is instant power - so some corners seem faster if you slide into them a bit to get an early rotation and can get on the power early. The downhill section is the opposite though, sideways there costs a lot of time.
