[@stevesolo16]

I stopped racing ShifterKarts a few years back. This sure brings back memories!!!!

[@masterblaster9335]

Excelente carrera.!!

[@jgonzalez5165]

Very nice, I ran 125cc shifters for 10 years, then went to bigger cars. The 125's was a lot more fun and less work. I had my shifter reverse from yours and very close to the wheel so I could downshift by just pushing it with the back on my hand, keeping both hands on the wheel. Excellent run.

[@jerryallen1768]

Nice drive and great race.

[@MaxiF.]

Awesome

[@Jakob_Nybo]

Well done !!

[@joeraines8836]

Nice drive ,cart looks like it handles great , cant say you had h.p. on any of the guys you passed ,you were there and took advantage of theire mistakes

[@epistte]

I had to Google Assen to get a track map, but it looks nothing like what I had previously visualized from watching the race. This looks like more fun than racing an FF1600 or FF2000.

[@christosswc]

Great drive, nice setup and looking real grippy out there on the day. Who's #1, Adam Kout? 13:53 can't have been too happy about that.

[@jostmotorsport]

Yep - number 1 is Adam Kout. Was a tough fight indeed :)

[@joh2427]

230kph on a kart.. you sir, have carbon fiber balls.

[@sergiomagni8845]

Yup!!!

[@ErnieAlgorriernietheattorney]

My god man!

[@roccodeheer130]

Why do you let go of the throttle on the straights?

[@rotispel5267]

cause of shifting i guess

[@thegoldie1973]

yes...when shifting to higher gear for a split of a second he lifts his foot of the throttle for "smoother" shifting

[@SomethingProductions]

love how you cut him off at the end and we hear sqeal marks and the video ends LOL

[@fabiobelentani4407]

Passou da hora de ter retrovisores.... reduziria muito os riscos de acidentes

[@JB91710]

I don't know about you but I'm exhausted.

[@hondarider2067]

Once you lose the draft you have to be spot on with hitting your marks or your not catching anyone quick.

[@doubleaadoubleaa5538]

What types of karts are these? They sound so different🤩

[@offason]

Different from what?

[@azizhirkani7043]

Hey bro how do I also join this type of racing pls reply me

[@epistte]

Start in 125cc karts and win. plus money.

[@PIERS212]

Where do I sign up?

[@filipolofsson]

Not that easy

[@emilchandran546]

Josh Owens not the case in Australia. If you want to race these, buy one, and show up. Not an exclusive sport here, if you can afford it.

[@luigiconte924]

Guys how do I partecipate to a championship if I would like to ? I really want to cart but I have no clue on how to do that . Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

[@jostmotorsport]

Hi mate - it's not that easy to start out of the box for the european championship. You require a certain level of licence degree. I'm sure that we can provide some further insights - please contact us via [e-mail] Cheers

[@luigiconte924]

@@jostmotorsport hey man thanks for the answer I will be emailing you . Thank you .

[@lunardawnimages6838]

Wow, drivers actually driving their machines...unlike f1. Fabulous racing!

[@ZeldaACFan17]

Some parts of the video make me think the sound is like a downsized Viper V10!

[@MyGdoggy]

What helmet do you have?

[@jostmotorsport]

Hi - I use a Arai GP6

[@hansabass]

This is FAB! I've done Assen only once on my '71 Laverda SF750; it was quite a challenge... 😀 Great camera angles btw

[@mikev2486]

hella good driving holy shit

[@jostmotorsport]

thx mate!

[@chrissss696]

Why is the shifter inverted?

[@JayB-lz6yd]

motorbike engine so motorbike gearbox. 1st push and all the others you pull. for a bike it's bottom 1st and top for the others.

[@emilchandran546]

JayB29 other way around push to change up, pull to change down.

[@emilchandran546]

I think what Christ Chris meant is that in most sequential manual transmission cars it is pull to change up a gear, push to change down. So in this sense the karts are inverted. And even on a bike if you think about it, you pull with your foot to change up and push to change down on almost all bikes. Drag racers and vintage bikes are exceptions.

[@apexkilla]

There’s no way running over those rumbles strips in the final chicane is helping the kart go faster. I can’t imagine that’s helping the kart rotate.

[@snxnomercy]

I would love to ride on it but instead of stick shifting it will be pedal gear shifting

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

As sketchy as that over steer is on that thing I’d move my front hubs out or inward a half centimeter or so . Your driving the hell outa that thing in the high speed corners

[@eamh2002]

How much experience with karts do you need to actually feel or notice a difference with those changes? I've been practicing a little on a shifter 125 when I was 12 but didnt race or do that many laps, maybe maximum of 50-100 laps but I could keep up with some rich kids who were training for races :) Even got to test a YZ250 engined superkart chassis once, it didnt want to turn into any corner without braking to shift the weight to front but it was like a missile on straights, didnt stop if you spun, just hold the pedal down on any gear and it would start a burnout :D

[@petenikolic5244]

MPH would make a lot more sense kph is a crippled measurement

[@R3cce]

I like kmh better

[@R3cce]

easier to understand for me

[@R3cce]

It went around 136 mph top speed
