@lorenzoamstelveen3156 its crazy the biggest difference between the best drivers and mediocre drivers. is their ability, effectiveness and consistency to adapt to unknown situations. that pro driver may have drove a 41 but 5 laps later he may be driving 35s and be able to maintain that. unlike others who have to practive to achive a a 41, while the pro has already improved snd left them in the dust again.
@@aaroncousins4750 he may have, this is just an example. but what im saying is when you throw a pro and a mediocre driver at a new track the pro will get much better much faster. that is the whole point of my explination.
Years ago I was at a local indoor karting track with a car club and one of the other guys brought along two buddies, one of whom was a seasoned professional sports car driver and the other a younger professional kart racer. This was their first time at this facility; I knew it well. We started the session and I thought I was doing about my best and holding my own, when I felt a gentle courtesy tap on my rear bumper as I was at the end of one of the straights. Before I could register what that meant, the two pro drivers blasted by me like I was standing still. I thought to myself "ok, this is good - I can follow their line and learn something". Wrong. They were gone so fast, I didn't have a chance of following. The experience was so impressive and humbling. But yeah, this is why they're professionals.
if you were left alone on an island and invented a new dance style, then went to a club in ibiza you would be humbled in a second. you need to be a small fish in a big pond to learn.
The fact he weighs 100 pounds less than them in a freaking go cart is a no brainer he's going to go a lot faster. It takes a lot of horsepower to make up such a weight discrepancy and here you have none.
My job pays so well that I might need to *split a chocolate milk with the guy, also I think that he would have been 3 or 4 seconds faster if you didn't have the camera on his car which probably created all sorts of drag
I drove at a few indoor cart tracks for team building exercises and fun with coworkers and friends. Nobody had any great cart driving skills or much experience. Watching the serious racers, even driving indoor tracks, really showed the huge difference in driving skill and technique. Watching their line, never really lifting, and a light touch on the braking was an education.
Uhm, when you are being competitive, its maximum braking, maximum acceleration and maxed out lateral G. There is smooth as you transition from one to the other, but there is no 'light touch' The hardest part is understanding the tradeoff between lines and braking. Sometimes its better to tap the brakes and pivot, vs. the perfect line around the corner.
@@confuse3671 rental karts don't have enough power, if you touch the brake you're cooked. Just trying to lift and pivot the kart by gassing up a bit or tiny brake kicks on hairpins and such. Hard braking is gonna make a rental kart take a year to make top speed again
In formula racing you only need one side of wheels on or in the white line to be considered valid and I don’t think this guy ever had all four wheels outside the white line
Sure, they are all using the same go cart for the run, but in a real competition, they'll have different go karts from different teams. And depending on the price, some go karts are definitely better than others, with the better ones giving the driver an advantage.
@@eudofiaThat's debatable. A large part of why certain manufacturers are faster is that their R and D have figured out ways to get the most out of their vehicles given the limits imposed on the cars (weight, hp, etc). Another factor is that certain manufacturers have their cars tailored to the driver better than others (no two drivers have the same preferences).
@@gozinta82 So, we are basically saying the same thing. The chassis, engine and setup play a huge role in race outcomes. And of course, having a talented driver also plays a big role. A team can have the best karts, but if the driver sucks, they're not going to win much. And a very talented driver in a crappy kart is not going to win either. Lewis Hamilton always tells the story of how he started out in karting. His family couldn't afford the latest machinery, so they had to settle for used karts that his dad would tinker in the garage. He couldn't win races with those until they eventually got the Mclaren sponsorship and could afford better equipment.
@@eudofiaBut which drivers get to drive those cars? Which drivers are teams willing to invest in? It’s not the good driver with a phenomenal car that wins. It’s the phenomenal driver with a good car that wins. A phenomenal driver paired with a phenomenon car? Virtually unbeatable.
@@eudofiaLewis Hamilton won races with his father's karts. He was already racing & beating Rosberg, who was in much better equipment. He was promised a space in McLaren by Ron Dennis after seeing how good Lewis was. In fact, at a tourney, Lewis won with his father's kart
And it's not just 20 seconds, he was FIFTY PERCENT faster by average speed around the lap. That's the difference between my Miata and the outright lap record at my local track.
My first thought was that if this guy is in F3, he might not be used to the dynamics of a kart and he could be blown away. My second thought was, but that's how he got up to F3, so I bet this is gonna be like speed running Super Mario Bros for a Gen Xer - it's just a game they don't even play anymore lol.
This is a track local to me (Buckmore Park) in a normal open practice session with the 4 stroke hire karts most reasonably quick drivers will get 50 second laps or even in the 49 seconds, I don’t know what they were doing to begin with to be around a minute in a kart like that 🤣
Exactly. A normal delta is up to 10 or 20 percent for OK drivers, not 50 percent (62 s versus 41 s). And if they keep working on it, they can get very close to the racer's time.
nah, the likes of roman grosjean have often commented about how kz karts are often more intense, cause there is no strategy or tire saving, just pure flat out pace
I was lucky enough to get a karting lesson from an F3 driver this past weekend. His best time was certainly better, but what blew my mind was that he was able to run extremely close to that almost every lap. It was insane and humbling.
When you're driving full time the fun and excitement of it give way to a business-like analytical understanding of what you and the car are doing. The pros can run repeatable laps, and are expected to. It's part of the job.
He’s so smooth and the speed he carries everywhere is mind boggling also lots of left foot braking making the rear rotate slightly and killing the under steer .
@@icebox9093 Most racing drivers use left foot braking in all formulas, rally drivers too. You can see videos of it on CZcams. On many karts you can't move your right foot across to the brake pedal anyway because the steering column is in the way. Left foot braking is faster, there's no time wasted moving your foot sideways.
In the kart he was driving, it would be possible depending on how much karting experience you have. I feel like I could do it, I'd just need to learn how a prokart feels for a while.
A pro driver in any motorsport is a different breed of human. Raced MX since I could walk and was a top 250A rider (in 2001-2003). Could make most riders look like beginners and if I didn't crash would beat the 2nd place rider by half a track. Then I was on the track practicing and a pro rider was on there too. Made me look like I had never ridden before and was on THE SAME BIKE (But a factory practice bike.....HUGE difference). I honestly thought there was no way to make a machine go faster than I could......then I realized what a Pro is. Very humbling learning experience. Thanks Ron-Ron, that was an awesome day ya french bastard!
I remember him in Cadet karts and he was fast then. Sadly, he then moved away to concentrate on racing abroad, so never witnessed him again until he re-appears in FIA F3.
I remember the great Ayrton Senna saying the best driver he ever raced against was Terry Fullerton, who he raced against in his karting days. Karting is awesome
I had privilege of Karting with Bobby Unser Jr. about 30 yrs ago. After he passed me, I tried to follow his line...every corner he pulled farther...amazing.
