[@scottpollock6549]

I worked at K1 Speed for a few months. Here's how things really work. There's 4 speeds, 4 being the fastest. Only regulars are put on speed four (35-45mph). Anybody that comes for their first time or maybe once or twice a year is put on speed 3. Kids are put on speed 1, if they seem like they can handle it, they're put on speed three. I've seen adults, GROWN men and women SO bad at driving, with zero concept of cornering, slowing down into corners, speeding up on exits, we had to put them onto speed 2. All the karts have identical batteries, tires, charges, etc. We test every cart every day in a shop in the back to make sure nobody can claim "your kart was faster than mine."

Such a poor track layout, if you keep your line shallow in to the two deep braking areas nobody can pass you without bashing you out of the way, they cannot brake later from a deeper line to cut back as the track turns back on itself immediately.

This dude could’ve easily grabbed two more positions if the 22 moved out of the way, or at least not cut the man off as he’s diving into the corner.

Indoor Karting is a ton of fun, but I would say if you live near an outdoor track, those can be even more challenging and fun. I’ve been to K1 Austin a few times and P2R once in OKC (a month before it shut down for good ☹️) and I can officially say my favorite time for karting was neither. I went to COTA this past December and went karting there. Very similar prices (COTA is a tad more expensive, but makes up for it with the speed and the track). Both are fun and great options to get behind the wheel, but if you get the chance, and have a little more dough, try some outdoor, it’s a ton of fun!

Great driving man, I don’t know if I’m in the position to say this, but for some tighter corners I recommend a more “ideal” racing line. ie. late apex, it allows for a better setup for the next corner. But then again, everyone has their own style, and you seem to be doing very well with yours 👍

[@RandySRT]

Doesn’t matter when the guy behind you sees you taking the correct line and bashes you out of the way on the inside.

[@gramsta836]

The issue as someone else said is nobody races properly here and just bumps you out of the way. The exterior kart protection makes people think they are bumper carts. Taking a racing line leads to you getting passed.

[@Ryansanders80]

really good driving, there are a few little spots I think you could edge out another tenth or two, on the start-finish straight be sure you're using the whole track, turns 1-4 your spot on, on turn five you're cheating in early, stay against that wall for another split second and that will have you better setup for the 2nd hairpin, then after the hairpin, from when you turn back left for 9 I wouldn't even apex ten, just focus on turning 9 into the finish straight, so hit the apex on 9, miss the 10 apex by about a foot and a half and really let the car wind out to the wall, because there isn't a corner after ten we can really manipulate the apex, and only use as much steer angle as we absolutely need, or, depending on if the kart pulls really hard in a straight it might be good to cut in hard and make the straight another 5 feet longer, but judging from the video these karts seem very strong on that corner so I would go with the miss the apex approach.

That's the thing about these indoor tracks, the lack of total space forces constraints on the limited track space which makes for constant hairpin turns where overtaking is greatly increased in difficult outside of the exceptions when there's contact usually leading to some kind of a crash or hinderance on the flow of the traffic. It ends up making really bogged down and difficult tracks that are nearly impossible to escape from as you have such little time to strategize and attack a position that isn't another hairpin turn.

[@bloxidy8752]

It would be so much cooler in VR..

I’ve been to this k1 when I stoped in Oregon. it’s not the best place to race rental karts but it’s fun.

Tip: when going in for a turn, you need real balls for this tip. Don't push brake, just let go of the gas at the last second. That's what I do

[@im_a_myth_717]

Purple_Tech 1000 no, tapping the brakes is faster

[@tokyoeagle7935]

@@im_a_myth_717 Yea but the speed goes down faster, and when you complete the turn you have to wait to gain more speed again, if you just let go your speed goes down slower.

[@seeblues1672]

do you want to be forcing ur kart to the make the turn so you can get back on the gas without sending it to a wall or slow down and make as much as room as possible to mash the throttle in a straight smooth line

[@tokyoeagle7935]

@@seeblues1672 Yes...? You grammer is terrible

[@seeblues1672]

@@tokyoeagle7935 brakes let you travel less distance on the track and set you up to get on the throttle earlier because youre not struggling for grip trying to get your kart turned around, especially on hair pins

This dude really knows how to cut corners. Must have played much NFS games

[@maniacninja0000]

I went to that same track and was told I was to short to drive (I was 3 inches taller than the employee) came back next year, and won 4 races in a row, and won the 3rd one a lap ahead of 2nd place. I’m now going to a much better jarring track, but I still really don’t like k1. Carts are slow, bad, and the experience is just poor.

[@yummersans8426]

Have you ride the ones with engines

[@ernest21181]

It's design and speed and drift is epic

[@AwesomeAaron1995]

Im curious to know what everyone thinks is better: K1 Speed or Dallas Karting Complex?

[@SnuXSley]

Damn that first lap went super sonic fast :O

[@킹멍청이]

It's quite interesting.I really want to visit and enjoy the speed.

[@juandalg4907]

How do you even overtake in this track 🤨

[@IamRealFrank]

Openings show up with walk-ins, or they get blue flagged. In league races you hope for/encourage a mistake from the person you are chasing.

[@FackFaceMcAcehole]

You don't. You pay a fuck up happens. Track needs to be about 4 feet wider for any chance to overtake.

[@jasoncano3117]

That drifting on the kart is crazy and I just think you need to get perfect timing on the drifting

[@shafiqsmith]

Jump to 3.23 for the action. You're welcome.

[@Prodak83]

I would have kept the outside line for T3, and position the kart as much to the right as possible before T4 and accelarate earlier, but of course this is only applicable if you have no one on your tail. Good driving throughout though!

[@TastyTarco]

imagine how awsome it would be if he could drift a curve and pass like 3 karts

[@CrownedMe]

It most definitely would be awesome but sadly if I’m not mistaken, they wouldn’t allow it due to safety reasons and you could be kicked off the track for attempting that type of maneuver.

I have a kart and i called "Marlboro Ferrari" The reason. Its a kart With Ferrari 2002 Painting

[@youknoweverything7643]

I wish k1 speed karts had a button you press and it gives you a quick boost in power on only certain lars of the track to simulate the drs system in the F1 cars where they can only press ths tbutton and it flattens out the rear spoiler on straights to reduce drag down long straightaways and they can only do it on certain parts of the racetrack it's a sensor and once you get to that spot on track they can engage it wish k1 speed had a turbo button to boost power down just the longest straight to be able to over take someone with power or you only get to use it twice per lap and it resets every time you pass start finish line that would be cool it gives you like 5 mph boost to power through and pass someone off a corner

[@FLCLANFORTNITE]

i race nationally in k1 and they do. its the boost button. its the green one on the steering wheel

You know what's weird I raced at a K1 Speed track in Roseville California and this was the exact same track layout I don't know if I'm going crazy but that's a little weird

[@seeblues1672]

turns one and two he could of braked way deeper and connected the two turns, he had the room to have the kart stop right before the hairpin and get it turned around rather than treating the corners seperately. He could of sent that kart closer to the barrier.

[@liricz813]

ok Schumacher son

Ok it’s not your opinion he is racing ur a stupid little a hole

Loved watching this,thx.

[@IamRealFrank]

Thank you for such an encouraging comment. Cool

[@b.henriques9871]

Sharp driving, they seem slow tho. My x30 feels alot faster. The sound might contribute to that. What are the specs on this types of karts?

[@IamRealFrank]

The K1 karts are electric and I don't know the specs but they have various power levels that are enabled as the driver demonstrates skill. I was told they don't use the highest settings because the kart becomes unmanagable and I would assume battery drain would make it too slow before the 12 lap race was over.

[@blake7028]

At least for my K1, the karts are normally at about 90%-95% for all races and can be altered slightly as the driver shows skill or depending on the race. For qualifying they turn the karts to 100% and that’s when people set record times but 100% drains the battery like crazy.
