I Nearly QUIT This Elite Members Race Because of Exhaustion - TeamSport Sheffield Go Karting

[@kaykarting]

Nice to see you back m8!

[@RobGoesRacing]

It's nice to be back! 👍

[@LR_Lexi]

He’s back!!

[@RobGoesRacing]

I know you missed me! 😂👍

[@Oli_2007]

Very fast walking place there rob

[@RobGoesRacing]

I wasn't setting the pace, that's up to the leader, I'm just matching. If the staff think we're too fast, they'll keep us on yellows until we're slow enough 👍

[@Oli_2007]

@@RobGoesRacing fair enough like, other than that great race and shame that you were exhausted, how do you move the pedal position?

[@RobGoesRacing]

The pedals on these biz karts have extra sections that flip over and lock in place

@@RobGoesRacing cheers rob

[@KartsAgainstHumanity]

[@RobGoesRacing]

It's good to be back! 👍

[@RobGoesRacing]

Warrington, like Sheffield, takes it out of you!

Hey rob glad to see you back to videos,I was just wondering if you where ever nervous doing races like these at first in case you messed up or something.ive been having confidence issues for awhile so I haven’t been able to do proper races like these also the times of when they are effect it also,especially can’t go now since liverpools shut due to a refurb.glad to see u back and watch ur vids again tho 👍

[@RobGoesRacing]

Absolutely! I put off doing members races for so long as I wasn't sure what to expect or if I'd keep up!

[@BHKarting]

@@RobGoesRacing alright I’m just glad someone was in the same situation as me,I’ll give another 342 a try when Liverpool reopens

Welcome back Rob!!!

[@RobGoesRacing]

Good to be back!

Why do they have some karts slightly slower or faster than the others? My Son races there in the academy Cadet Karts with him only been 9, but he's trying to improve his lap times, but sometimes he says it's not possible because the karts he as on the second session or sometimes on the first session feel slower than the other he's been in. So even the cadet Karts have slightly different speeds, the little guy gets frustrated by it.

[@RobGoesRacing]

It's just the way of rental karting unfortunately. The cadet karts at Sheffield are all new, so should be fairly similar. The adult ones are quite old. They get driven by people with all sorts of abilities and get crashed quite often. If the geometry is out, the quicker drivers are going to notice the discrepancies more than the general public may.

[@JASON-rq5gl]

@@RobGoesRacing Yea thats a fare point on the adult karts the way some people have driven them they certainly have been abused. I suppose it's kinda good my son can notice sometimes there's slight gains or drops in performance in some of the cadet Karts. 2 weeks ago he kicked out some good times even though there was traffic in front of him holding him up and eventually getting passed them, but after the first session he said to me that kart he was in clearly had some performances advantage over the others, so he was been honest about why he was doing so good and not trying to take all the credit. Maybe with them been new they have to be bedded in a bit before turning the power up, so there could be 1 or 2 cadet karts there trying that on before tuning the rest up. Your Racing Rob is certainly very entertaining to watch, just watch it twice now.

[@UzzyT.]

Never give up! 💪🏽

[@RobGoesRacing]

Sometimes you have to though! 😉

[@tylersharp3165]

Yes the legend Is back

[@RobGoesRacing]

I don't know about legend, but I'm here! 😂👋

[@alextodorovfr]

hi rob how do you record please answer

[@KartsAgainstHumanity]

Most karting videos use a GoPro mounted either to the top of the helmet or the chin

[@RobGoesRacing]

Yeah, as said, a GoPro mounted on my helmet, in my case, on my chin. There is a frequent questions link in the description which goes into more detail!

Hi

👋

[@cyberstekkedoos]

You never driven more then 30mins in a row? you should be able to drive at least 1hour without being shattered ;)

[@RobGoesRacing]

I didn't say I hadn't done this length before, I just wasn't properly prepared this time! I was expecting 40 minutes, and it was around the 45 minutes mark that the exhaustion started hitting me. The total duration of all the sessions was just over an hour. The pace was also a lot higher than I expected, I was fighting for position in all races.
