Amazing! Thanks for the info! I’ve done my first Go Karting experience ever last week and I was able to do a 1:07 lap in the Lusail track. I’m also at a weight disadvantage since I’m a big guy! Incredible experience and will be definitely going more My aim is to do a sub 1:03 lap around Lusail. Will take a lot of time to get there but it will be incredible to see myself improve. Thanks for the tips 🙏🏻
with how karts have a very abrupt braking characteristic, its almost instinctive to do trail braking, as long as the driver brakes late. You instinctively will let the brakes off as you feel the brakes lock in addition to your kart rotating and your steering increases
Reference point I understand but if you want to be faster than the others that brakes there you must brake further down the track. So as a summary pull a Max Verstappen brake move
Well of course on tight turns in Mario Kart and press the B button to break during drifting lol. But even though there’s nothing really about pressure there is something to take an account a reference point you have to know when to start a drift and went to end a drift
Yeah, but when switching karts you really should just get a feel for the brakes before even thinking about going late on the brakes or even braking hard as for example birel has a very different brakes to crg and also every single kart is different
@@MrDucky4 no you are both wrong. Sliding and locking up the tyres in any form of Motorsport is the worst thing you can do for consistency. Overheats and puts massive wear on the tyres giving you wrong information on kart setup. You want to be on the verge of locking up settling the kart into the corner and glide to the apex for a good rotation then power out, locking the rears to get the kart to stop in time tells me you are trying to brake to late.
@@ohLunaah Your comment is also half wrong.. in rally, Motocross, ATVs supercross you would want some sliding if you want to actually be fast. And those are forms of motorsports with quite a lot of categories... Ohh btw Drifting is a form of motorsports
@@davidvalencia129 no my comment is not half wrong i am obviously talking about the ones that involve this type of driving with grip. All the ones you mentioned are clearly ones that involve dirt/gravel apart from drifting which is also pretty obvious you have to slide the car lol....i am speaking off 13+ years racing experience also at high level in karting for a majority of those years so....
@@davidvalencia129 sorry i did not elaborate the "any form of motorsport" statement i just thought the human brain would put 2 and 2 together and realize i was talking about "tarmac racing that involves no margin for error" not Drifting and rally lmaao comon dude.
Lmao i spun out and crashed and moved the water barrier a bunch ,and next lap i breakd at that point i made my own break marker lmao Houston karting complex disclaimer this only works in slow rental karts if i had been in anything fast i crashed and would have been toast
You find it by braking normally and then you brake later Till you can't drive the corner without goin wide on the exit, then u search for something like a tree or bush or mark in the track.

I’m a year late but I’m first like
Definitely using that tonight thanks
Thank you for this Im literally omw to my local go kart place
A very useful tip about noting a reference point. I'll try it in my next race

This is the Lusail track guide by KTips. I hope it helps you to achieve the time you want: czcams.com/video/gfOKpWFCqsE/video.html
Braking early is tricky but with practices you will win and will be faster than most if not all the other racers
If you are more of a advanced driver than braking before a corner isnt always faster. Trail braking can improve your times by alot

Thank you again! I needed to hear this tonight.

Really helped out! Thanks!
In professional indoor Karting, we use the brakes to turn lol, literally. It’s just faster
In karting you should have a very light left foot as karts only have resr brakes so if you brake hard you may lost controll and spin the other way
I’ve been doing this subconsciously everytime I go karting and only realised it now…. I might be a genius
we need a full length video on this m8

I’m the example of what not to do lmao
You don’t always have to brake before the corner you can brake into a corner but I think it’s better to do what I think in a actual race kart
Ima go karting tomorrow and I’ll try the trick
Wow! Thanks❤🏎️
Thanks for the tips
You can use a reference point or just go off instinct like I do when I race
Ahh I've been braking hard before and coasting through the turn
Is it good to press the gas pedal when releasing the break pedal at the same time?
in faster karts, you can lock up rear a bit, so you get extra rotation with that
Yes, true, just have to be careful to not spin

Have confidence in your tire grip
Nice apex
Lmao i spun out and crashed and moved the water barrier a bunch ,and next lap i breakd at that point i made my own break marker lmao Houston karting complex disclaimer this only works in slow rental karts if i had been in anything fast i crashed and would have been toast
For you guys out there as you slow down slowly let your foot off
The key is to feel it not math it
I lock up and flick it in
I have the Same Gloves for my sim
I thought people spinout, I was scared to go fast in the corners, guess they break hard.
Thx.
This comment section is full of first world problems haha-
Wait so am i still pushing accelerator whilst i brake? Same time?
Do you lock the tire
How do you know where the reference point should be?

Just lift off???
Track limits?
I have no brakes 😂
Braking isn’t an option for me 😈
What is the name of the track?
So no trailbraking
Nah, I just run it wide open. When in doubt, flat out.
ah yes jeremy clarkson
Is this someone yeuen
U guys brake?
