Best tip I got as a beginner was: Braking early is better than braking too late. And also: Braking is not about slowing down, it's about getting around the track faster.

[@CashedOutCars]

I agree, good tips for people!

[@flatearthrcs4869]

​@CashedOutCars used your tips. Shaved 8 tenths a second of my fastest lap. I always had a good line and I'm pretty smooth. But your breaking tip is what saved me dam near 1 second per lap

Not a go kart fan, just Miata, however this was such a well done video! Should be required viewing for racing.

[@CashedOutCars]

Thanks my man! I figured it’d help a lot of beginners out, I see a lot of people struggle and not have fun because of it. We’ll be back to regularly scheduled Miata content with the next video!

[@WARVIATION]

gokart so fun tho

[@slippinslidewayz]

Bro, a Miata essentially is a go-kart 😂 That's why they're one of the best cars ever made!

#3 & 4 are my favorite. The first time i drove 9hp kart I wasn't sure of the lines. There was certain corners i knew i was not fast. I just knew you needed to Prioritize corners leading onto straights. Once i started playing follow the leader with a faster driver thats when i began to find the faster lines and using my brakes as traction coming out of corners. I never did beat him but i did see my lap times decrease from 1:12 to 1:10 to 1:09 to 1:08 and eventually 1:06.5

Thx man my family where planning to go kart racing and I never done a cart race before but with this video I was first place

[@tripplegracing8276]

Great video, just went out a day ago to our local indoor track was very early no one on the track but had fun, did make the rookie mistake of going for 20 laps instead of starting with 10, so I go tired around lap 12/13, but had fun and want to go on a weekly basis, and also get my own kart. Warm regards from Port Elizabeth, South Africa

[@colinsmith595]

yo i’m also from port elizabeth i went yesterday for the first time in a about 2 years and got a 25 second lap 😂

[@tripplegracing8276]

@@colinsmith595 Thats fantastic, I will head out there next week and again the next two weeks after that. 25s means you should be in their top 5, I have studied my helmet cam footage and I know where I can improve. Hopefully our paths cross and meet up there mate! Well done on that lap time. keep it up

[@DIOBRANDO-gb9vd]

i think for the turn n°2 you could actually take it with a late apex to be even faster in the next turn chain as they could be taken straight

[@caos619]

much appreciated I'm actually going karting tomorrow over at sbc :)

[@xxbongobazookaxx7170]

Good tips, watched it to beat my sister's boyfriend and ended up placing top 1/4 of the session in my first time karting so it seems to work

Happy to hear that! Have fun out there!

[@davidbeeler9921]

Adding to point 5. I’m 50 pounds at least more than many of my friends I’m so tall I barely fit in carts. But I race my own times. I try to get faster and more consistent with each race.

[@G37xMaN]

I knew I recognized that track! That's where I race, this video should help! Thanks!

[@CashedOutCars]

Hopefully it does, enjoy!

Tip 6 Take kart off trolley.

[@soupboy4310]

This track discussed is On Track Karting in Wallingford, CT. Didn't expect to see the closest track to my home on a video like this.

[@CashedOutCars]

Yessir! That's a super fun track

[@dropgaming5898]

The reason i love go kart is because im interested in these racing competition and wish i had a go kart but there is one more will i able to suceed as a racer?

[@slippinslidewayz]

I have a really hard time braking in a straight line. I push the kart to the limit then feather the brake as I start into the turn. I think it does give me a bit of time, but I'm on the edge of traction where I've seen some others power through in a bit more smooth manner.

[@Dieterbe]

Maybe because they are trail braking

[@thexplode7]

Don’t feather trail break

[@jimmyeger123]

Slow in,fast out

[@bajanroyalty5935]

I am going to a go kart place in Barbados🇧🇧 its my first time i am nervous n worried either i hit the pedals to hard or so one not worry if i an slow i am worry about messin up with the kart

[@DBNR_cool]

I either have a heavy for or I took good lines because I only lost 1/3 races the only reason why I lost is the.instructor or worker made us have a big gap but I catches up with the leader and I tried to get around him and I did not bump him so that's why I lost

[@CarsWiJuice]

I love your videos what’s your favourite part about you mx5 I’m just wondering

[@CashedOutCars]

Broadly put, the way they drive! They’re so light and great handling cars that their a blast to drive

[@nagyandras8857]

your racing line is seriously flawed.

[@nyperfox_6500]

It's really not

[@nagyandras8857]

@@nyperfox_6500 t2,t3,t4,t5. you want to exit t2 wide and stay on right side. then hit t4 keeping to the right, hit the apex. t5 is tricky, take it wide, aim is to have a very late apex. thatway you avoid the sharp turn of t6. in yours drawing race line you take t2 too tight. yess it avoids the t3 and t4, however you are hitting an early apex of t5 and has to slow down a lot to not go wide. so yess, its seriusly flawed.
