GO KARTING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

[@Jack.McCambridge]

A full second gained on that short of a track is insane, definitely going to be using this technique next time I’m karting

[@JairCee]

this makes more sense. i usually lean in but ive felt so slow doing it that i stopped as of late. thank you for this much needed research

[@JuanBobadilla-pe1zz]

definatly will try that on my next sesion !

[@TITANa.k.a.RADIATION173]

Keep in mind that leaning out makes you "drift" more than leaning in, so... The kart will have more steering power, but it can slide through the corners. The dude in the video has a good drift control, so you need to have drift control skills to make it

I love the 360° view😮. Looks amazing. Thanks for the experiment. The info is really helpful.

[@florian2442]

My leaning technique? Well, I've noticed that when I'm underperforming, it helps for me to lean forward in my chair, thus increasing body tension and focus, whilst simultaneously reducing the distance between my face and my monitor. Hope this helps!

😂😂

[@Garlicbread519]

Mate u make some of the best vids, u have helped me so much with these tips as i just started karting. ❤

[@kartingtips]

Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback 🙌

[@2WhiteAndNerdy]

Wow! I had no idea! Seriously. Cant wait to try this next time I go karting. Just like your braking tutorial, I'm learning just how much my bad techniques have been holding me back from better lap times. 😅

[@Incognito-vc9wj]

Pretty cool. This is equivalent to loosening your anti roll bars, allowing the car to roll during the turn to load up the outside tires for more grip.

[@azaph_yt]

I tried it and can confirm that leaning out is beneficial even in heavy rental karts with a light driver (me).

[@BrianSu]

I tried leaning out and threshold braking on the DMAX (Rotax MAX Evo Junior) and improved my lap time by 1.6 seconds :)

[@AFR13Karting]

as always, a great video! keep the good work 💪

[@BrianSu]

going to try leaning out, pushing steering and threshold braking this weekend.

[@kartingtips]

Awesome! Let me know how it goes 😎

[@BrianSu]

@@kartingtips Sure thing :) but is it advisable to do them on Rotax Max Junior rental karts? Or are they too fast?

[@Carsnbikes73]

This is probably the best advice I've heard.

[@LarsVDS-VA]

I love oversteer and i love it cause i can brake later and harder for corners have to turn the steering wheel less and requires less energy making it so i can drive longer. At first it’s hard to get used to leaning outwards, at least that’s what i felt, but i quickly started gaining time and am now one of the fastest at the circuits i go to, definitely something everyone should do.

[@nico4319]

Super vidéo. But please keep some tips otherwise we couldn't make any gap anymore 😅

[@ion7701]

So helpful! Thanks KTips

[@jonathanw2036]

Great video! Really good explanation of this phenomenon

[@patrickoceon]

Funny thing is I always naturally lean out when karting because it is so much easier to maintain endurance. Guess that’s why I’m faster as well!

[@Shadow_1695]

Mate could you try and find times leaning in would be useful?

[@t646182]

Very useful skill ,thanks

[@aa-ds5ul]

but there is a state that leaning inside will increase understeer which helps the low grip in indoor track, and leaning outside will increase oversteer which is better for higher grip level in outdoor track, is that true?

[@daviel11tube]

Another great video

[@kushagrakeshav6951]

your videos are really good

[@MatyasFadi-h4m]

Can you do a vid on trailbraking vs not trailbraking in rentals

[@kartingtips]

Great idea! Let me look into it

[@Deluluferrarifan]

Could you pls do one on an outdoor track

[@kartingtips]

Great question! I already did it and you can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gF6Wgptrlqx_rtksi=pAuDwWmXQLVFXIOS

[@grak1339]

And if you lean out you dont have to fight against g force also right? Anyone know?

[@wojciechwalczak6390]

I use also front lean, known also as a human DRS

[@vadimferat5375]

Thanks a lot ! Isi it the same for outdoor karting ?

[@s70driver2005]

I would assume so since most all gokarts are solid axle no differential type stuff.

[@kartingtips]

Yes, it's the same. Here's my outdoor experiment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gF6Wgptrlqx_rtk

[@AdelWhips]

A ktips if i havent tried leaning out before priperly and i have a race coming up is it better to try it out untill i have a session that is just for practice or fastest lap only?

[@kartingtips]

Try it out as soon as possible and get used to it by the time you have your race

[@Ghostthebeatmaker]

Yah I never have lean in or out when racing at nascar I drive indoor cart racing ☕️🗿

[@DrR1pper]

Turning the steering wheel more in the lean-in isn't causing the kart to understeer.....you're having to turn in more with the steering BECAUSE the leaning in is causing (more) understeer. The judder comes from the inside rear tyre going from gripping to not gripping and back to gripping again (repeatedly) which leaning in makes much more likely to occur.

[@chandimahathurusingha5096]

Please pin me 😊

[@DefaultMale_]

Really it depends on the speed of the track and the type of turn you are on. Leaning in to the kart puts more force on the inside of a turn, letting you turn sharper
