The whole layout has changed now. My quickest time now is 41.223 (according to my RaceFacer account) 2 biggest things to get sub 49 seconds. Unfortunately these are out of your control. 1. They spray the liquid grip down 2. They give your kart 100% power ----------- To answer your question though, I went last night with no liquid grip and I presume only 80% power and I was only doing 48s. I noticed that although I could lift off and the kart would slow down/get lift off oversteer, I tended to find that slower. I started hitting the brake on all the corners I would previously get lift off at and I found the kart didn’t get lift off oversteer anymore so I had way more traction when accelerating out of the corner. Overall, I am at a stage where I am trying to workout what extra things I can do to pick up pace. Even I am unsure exactly where to brake. But trial and error is your best bet

@@squadragt6225 I just went tonight on the last two sessions available. Conditions were very slippery but I think they gave me 100% power because I finally broke into the 44s with a 44.7 . I was still lifting into the hairpin and turn 13 but I was able to straight up the steering wheel into the apexes with reduced oversteer. Did a lap where I tried braking there instead but because i don't record my laps I can't tell if I benefited from that.

@@squadragt6225 Turn 2 and 3 is also proving very tricky because of the speed coming into T2 I find it impossible to not slide on the entry. And the karts are not liking going flat out through T3 because it's very slippery, a lot of micro-corrections required on the steering wheel. Sector 2 the kart was just bumping up and down like the porpoising of the current F1 cars, very uncomfortable.

@@Beechaii2 if you download the Racefacer app on your phone and search your time, you can pull up the history of all your past sessions. They have a laptimes for each lap. So if you recorded yourself driving, you can sync it up to see if it help. Its a bit clunky but it helps.

@@Beechaii2 Honestly, turn 2 is my nemesis. I have tried so many entries in there and I still haven't ever done it in a way that felt right. I went last night and i think they have ran out of the liquid grip they usually spray on the circuit for expert sessions. The owner's brother who is in the top 5 all time lap times was in my session and he was only doing 47's. Once they get the liquid grip back, I'd be keen to see how quick you can get your times down.

Haven’t been in a few months but I’ll have to give it a go

Well…went today. Biggest difficulty was unlearning old habits / old apex’s. I spent a lot of time bumping into the barrier on most apex’s whilst trying to find that limit. I did a 41.223 on the new layout which allegedly puts me 44th on the all time list of the new layout

@@squadragt6225 Hey, any tips for the new layout? and also wondering if you are considering posting an updated video

@@jonoot. I’m yet to go and have a run worth giving my opinion on tbh. I’m struggling to find a rhythm with the new layout mainly because there are so many potential driving lines. What I’ve been doing is only changing one aspect per lap to see if it gains time or loses time.

This video is of the old layout. But tbh I didn’t notice much of a difference with boost so half the time I just hold my finger down on it and just let it do it by itself whenever it recharges

I haven’t been in a few months so I’m not too familiar with the kart difference yet. I use boost @ 00:29 (not sure if that’s optimal), I chose that location because I found boost didn’t increase acceleration. All it did was increase the top speed imo. And yes, brought my own helmet. But they do have ones you can borrow

Yep. 100% power with the liquid grip sprayed down

@@squadragt6225 do you know what lap time enables 100% power? I'm in the 45's and not sure if I'm at 100%

@@enjoyenjoi96 they spray liquid grip first thing in the morning and after 9pm. So go around one of those times and request to be put on 100% power. The staff are friendly so I usually just chat with them a bit then ask

Presuming you’re talking about an Abarth. An aftermarket blow off valve is not significantly different to the stock mechanism that come with the car. All that is being done is disconnecting the hose that recirculates the air. How is pulling one hose off all of a sudden going to impact the integrity of the stock blow off valve?

I’ll make them generic to any track which imo will be more useful. Stage 1 (First Visit on Track): 1. “Go slow to go fast.” = Go slow to learn the track and once you know it like the back of your hand, only then should you be pushing for hard laps. E.g. my first time here I was averaging 50’s. 2. Always Brake in a straight line 3. Sliding = Slow 4. Follow a similar racing line to what I have done Stage 2 (only once you reach Sub 45’s) 1. Practice Braking Later 2. Push the limits of the racing line (don’t be afraid to bump the barrier & expect your lap time to go backwards as you do this.) Stage 3 (Only once you average in the 43’s) 1. Focus on your steering. Are you over turning the steering wheel? 2. Brake/Accelerator. Can you brake later and accelerate earlier? 3. Watch KZbin videos about improving your karting fundamentals --------- Review footage after each session. Let me know if you have any questions!

@@squadragt6225 Wow thanks for the fantastic answer!

@@squadragt6225 also out of curiosity, how much practice did it take to get your lap times down? Thanks in advance

@@jlaa2276 If you login to Race Facer app, you can have a look at my sessions to see my exact progression. I’ve done 3hrs 30 minutes on the track, so 12 sessions all up roughly. My last few are focusing on stage 3 hence the slower lap times this morning. Search ‘William Jeffree’ on the app and you’ll find my profile :)

Just did a 43.953 with a complete diferente line but following your tips. Cheers 🤙🏼

TL;DR: like anything, it has potential to cause damage. But no, is most cases it won’t cause any damage or any issues Disconnecting the stock ‘blow of valve’ mechanism and causing the turbo to flutter won’t break a turbo over night. E.g. of a turbo is meant to last 200,000km, it maybe takes 10,000kmh off its life. Keeping a dirty filter on the car/no filter would have far more significant impact on the car. If it was really such a big issue, rally cars and other race cars in the 80/90s and 2000’s wouldn’t of simply just let it flutter. As far as the research has shown from when i looked into it, they only reason they install these recirculation ‘blow off valves’ is due to noise pollution legislation in many countries.

not too familiar with the American abarth’s as they run the Multiair motor and not a TJET. From my memory, the multiair uses a Diverter Valve instead of a Blow Off Valve. Honestly, I have no idea of the exact difference between the two though. May be best to look at a local forum

Is bad

It stops the stock ‘blow off valve’ from releasing the pressure. So instead that pressure has to go back through the turbo, causing the flutter / ‘STUTUTU’ sound

@@squadragt6225 I am very surprised and happy you’ve answered me 👍

Please help me to do this

I need help with that to

Typically does it goes away by itself over time once you plug it back in. if you want to speed up the process, simply disconnect your battery for 5 min, let it sit, connect it back up then turn on the car and let it idle for 5 minutes. This will reset the Ecu and remove the code.

@@squadragt6225 I tried it but unfortunately i did not get the turbo flutter :/

Does not mess up the car. Also it does not cause loss of power

@@Fiatpunto07 what he unplugged was a diverter valve or "BOV" effectively forcing the air to hit the turbo by going backwards when you let of the throttle

@@OlisStuff thank you sir Isn’t really bad though?

1. Did I use an aftermarket BOV or Wastegate? No 2. Do I think it is bad? Short answer is Yes. Long answer is Yes, BUT you will only notice problems from it from 100,000kms on the ODO. If flutter was such an issue, race cars would not run it. Here in Australia, the reason why it is not common on street cars is purely due to the government viewing the 'STUTUTU' sound as noise pollution. Essentially, it is unsafe but it is extremely minimal.

Kevyn Cooper - Correct

@@squadragt6225 so will it work on US spec 500T...also is the cone intake necessary

and its completely stock right, just exhaust. no aftermarket bov or wastgate… I hope you reply

​@@ahmedhousini4696 No you don't need the filter on the BOV. I just did it to stop things falling inside it. And no I did not have an aftermarket BOV
