F1 driver Carlos Sainz that’s how Indoor Go Cart Racing from last To P1

[@Wildcat12]

Keep in mind, a lot of this requires the drivers you’re against to be competent. Passing in indoor karting is practically impossible if you’re against idiots, they’ll just punt you into the walls.

[@Vissou]

Then punt them yourself

[@zqzj]

​@@Vissoutrue, the only valid course of action in those circumstances lol

[@puddle-karting]

A good driver will spot a punter a mile off, anticipate the idiotic moves and mitigate against the majority of them with forthought and skill. Not saying that they would never get fired off however they will generally outfox an idiot who punts people off.

[@BobABooey.]

Having a good cart also helps, some of them have weak batteries or crappy tires.

[@Vissou]

@@puddle-karting but if you are in indoor karting, it’s almost impossible to overtake without at least slight contact, so sometimes, even if you outfox them, you gotta force your way cause they probably themselves gonna strike into you anyway when you getting closer to them

Notice how his steering wheel is mostly straight. He's drifting the corners to minimise wastage. Genius

[@monkfishy6348]

Karting is all about carrying momentum.

[@JulioCezar-we9zo]

On the tarmac of a go kart track, the coefficient friction of a rolling tyre is greater than that of a sliding tyre. Therefore, the rolling tyre will always have more traction. The more traction (grip) you have the faster you can brake, corner, and accelerate. By taking a clean racing line, you can drive into the corner faster, take it quicker, and exit it at a greater speed. So drifiting coners dont help you at all in karting. He drifted there because that's was only a one possible approach for specific overtake moments

[@ralphr-c7156]

@@JulioCezar-we9zo I think a slight drift allows the driver to flick the rear around more quickly around a tight bend. This allows the driver to come into the corner faster, keeping the rear wheels (rwd) rotating much more quickly than otherwise possible, allowing them to come out of the corner much faster too. At least, that's what I think is happening.

[@teqqz47]

you came from VenDoesRacing right ?

[@rockstarali99]

⁠@@ralphr-c7156You’re in fact absolutely right, in addition to what the comment above you describes, this is how you maximise entry and exit speed without losing traction, all the while minimising the time spent on the corner. The limit is indeed almost entering the ABS zone by just oversteering enough while carrying maximum speed so you turn quicker, enter straight line earlier and all that without slipping off and that’s when you know you’ve squeezed the lemon of all its juice.

[@AlexRanedo]

This is chess or pool/snooker; seeing many moves ahead, lining it up, waiting and then contactless execution. Smooth as butter! I sim race and thought I'd forget about playing multiplayer after initial experiences but after a while you start to see more patterns in human behaviour and predict what's going to happen ahead of time which helps to surpass the what I delight in calling 'noise' (nonsense, dickheadery and predictable chaos), and navigate through the mess. TBH, it also helps that some sims have license/rating systems. That also helps block out 'noise'! Lol. This is super useful to study and a laugh to watch! Thanks for sharing.

At my local indoor kart track if you do any of this they will shut you down and kick you off the track, they don’t let you bump, if you’re too fast they tell you to slow down and they somehow are able to shut the engines down from a central location. And it’s the same type of kart and track as this one. They basically just want you to go 3/4 of the speed it’s capable of and no contact no competition, really lame…
