Good job! I really liked this track during the endurance race, but I can’t go back because of my age 😅 (I ran a 45 sec lap in the endurance karts lol)

That's pretty good, especially if that was your first time there! One thing is that the monthly league events are run at a faster setting than regular public sessions, so you're closer than you think 😉

Whoever #6 was I think I saw was being an idiot. He was trying to kill me and the pack I was in the entire race and we were catching up to the front pack. Sadly the officials saw it as nothing but the entire pack bumping around while he was doing all the bumping. Completely ruined my race and all the others in the pack I was in.

Yeah there's a couple of karts that need a double-tap of the pedal for the brakes to kick in. Too bad it's happening to these new karts again... It used to be a reminder in the driver's meetings to check your brakes when exiting and entering the pit lane. It's the "Easy E" remember cause that's who had their brakes completely cut out - he sped through the pits at 30mph!
@DJYTLOL Ай бұрын
44:32 Yeah my kart liked turning left more than right, lost so much time through T1-T5 and the penultimate corner as a result. It had good top speed to make for it which created an odd equal dynamic between Andrew & I. He’d pull away in the corners only for me to catch him on the straights. Worked with him until the final few laps 🔥

Do you get points for getting second? Also I’m trying to start league racing at k1 speed and was wondering if it would be pretty hard to stay with the other racers if I’m pretty new to the karting thing, I know some stuff about racing in my head but not sure if that translates to actual track expierence
@AlexDevineKartRacing 2 ай бұрын
Everyone gets points based on how many people participate, and the standings for the Challenge GP at each location are on the K1 website under the 'Leagues' section. I'd recommend getting a few races in before jumping into a league night, just to get a feel for racing IRL and how the karts feel while braking/turning/accelerating etc. Knowing the racing line is only useful if you're also able to adjust your driving to hit said line.

With the newer model karts at Mokena, there's a display that shows which speed it's in. You can barely see it in the visor cam view, but it says "Model 4". I know that Mode 3 is slower, but I can't remember by how much.. We've only run the league on the LeMans track, and my best time this year is a 21.089. In past years I've got a 20.966 at LeMans and a 19.810 at Monaco.

It's an Insta360 Go 3s model camera - the lens itself has magnets that snap into a GoPro sized base. So I added a metal plate inside my helmet, behind the visor, against the hard shell, and the lens magnets keep it in place during the race.

It feels like these newer model karts have better acceleration, so turn 1 here has an actual braking zone, and the esses at Mokena are comparable to Schumacher at Buffalo Grove. If Buffalo Grove upgraded their karts, then maybe Schumacher at speed 4 would need a hint of braking too....
