Karting Wet Lines Explained - by Pro Karting Coach Terence Dove

[@robfiction]

Good basic explanation of a basic corner. Well done. Obviously all corners are different and you can't do a video for everyone in the world. Good effort, ignore the naysayers.

[@roryburkeracing1144]

Summary: A tighter entry to the corner, wider in the middle of the corner and tight on the exit(wide depending on your confident).

But what about wet patches

[@AiMSmartCam]

It's a good idea to avoid them. Its also wise to make sure you know where they are before you go out on track!

[@hanyaowong3880]

is running the kerbs faster?

[@AiMSmartCam]

very often yes!

[@monsieurfabio]

In the wet, the kerbs can be very slippery, so it depends But in the dry, yes absolutly

[@roryburkeracing1144]

Yes the kerbs give you grip and hook the kart around the corner easily. The kerbs only work if you run a wet sprocket which can accelerate of the corner well

Thank you 👍

[@Dude-mm5sf]

Thanks for help

[@santiagoarriaga8431]

there are no wet lines in wet, you just have to look where the grip is

[@klaudiahurka9863]

Yes do what its the line when will be dry truck ?

[@klaudiahurka9863]

Yea Santiago is right when your line will be all wet then what also drive only your line ?

[@sixtenallingersandgren6674]

@@klaudiahurka9863 wdym? The whole point is wet rubber is like ice and wet asphalt actually has some grip. The entire circuit dosent have the same grip the rubber has drammaticly less. Thats why you use these lined

[@riccardoarici]

But, shouldn't you put your inside tyres on the very inside curb?

[@CaesarAugustus27]

When it's dry yes, but when it's wet you haven't got any grip but you'll get grip by avoiding the rubber in the braking zone and where the karts turn when it's dry which is as you said, with the inside tyres on the curb. So just do what you said in the dry but not in the wet. You'll get more grip and speed if you use this technique in the wet.
