Raced here for the first time in winter and it was pouring rain so much and it was my first time racing in the rain I was 3rd place until the last corner some over lapped car hit my left bumper and then came 10th I was so close to getting my first podium finish

Another great video Brad. One quick question I hope you won't mind answering. If a rolling chassis in this kind of state was £800, how are people finding any at the £400 price point suggested on the Facebook page? I was hoping to enter my son next year but really struggling to find anything at those prices suggested.
@BradPhilpot7 күн бұрын
Simple answer: OTKs are popular and expensive. If you find a half decent OTK for £400 as a rolling chassis then buy it! You can get hold of some others for less from other brands - or maybe just get lucky with a good OTK from someone desperate to sell who’s happened to look after it. But normally £6-800 is the starting point for OTK.

Hey Brad, I'm thinking about starting GXUK next year. What are the driving standards like and how much does it cost a year from your experience?
@BradPhilpot8 күн бұрын
Driving standards are very good - and strictly enforced. After you’ve bought your kart, you’re looking at 6 rounds costing £120 each. Aside from that, fuel at £10 per round and hotel / travel which is really down to you how you approach it. It’s as cheap as it gets

that's a bit ridiculous that you cant use hand signals to communicate, never heard of that rule in any series in karting, especially 4 stroke racing in the US it has never even been brought up as an issue, very interesting. I could understand both hands off the wheel but just a little flick to tell the driver behind you to work with you should be ok, wonder how that decision was made to ban that?
