So glad to see you out in a kart again. It being in the faster X30 made it even better. It would be phenomenal to see you break out of the Club 100 and race in the X30 realm. You no doubt have the talent to do so. Just need the seat time to put it all together. Sending massive vibes of encouragement to make that happen. 🏆 champion vid!

Nice! The X30 is getting pretty close to the KF2 I'm familiar with. Dunno which karburator and limiter there's on it. I think KF2 was 38HP when I drove it, not 100% on that. Such a shame that it had to rain. Not what you're looking for when stretching your legs in a new kart. Hope you enjoyed it and that you're able to try again with better weather.

[@xci3383]

Solid mate

[@kunalracing]

Hey @Super GT, I got a tip for driving an X30 Kart. The thing is that the moment you slow the kart down into braking, it starts to bog a lot (at low revs), so when I was karting in this beast, I used to brake as late as possible and get back on the throttle bit earlier than the apex (to keep the revs high which helps reduce the bogging). Hope this helps😃

[@ag14g09]

Great video as usual! What telemetry does the kart have? Steering, brake and throttle? I really need to make more use of telemetry for my hillclimbing car as it looks like a great tool.

[@geddstock]

Did a pay and drive(30 mins)at this track a few years back,there was only me and my son on track. It was awesome I got lapped twice and had to pull off for a rest twice....lol Best bit was there was no lugging because there’s no real slow corners.

[@maxwellwood4703]

I wish we had actual karting tracks here in California! It’d easily be my new hobby. Also Super GT, I just want to say thank you for being there for me. Your videos have really helped me out, I’m not in the best place mentally at the moment and watching your videos kinda gives me a break from reality. I never thought I’d end up loving motorsports as much as I do, believe it or not I was actually an American football player and wrestler back in my schooling days, my dad always hated cars so I’ve never really had the opportunity to appreciate them for what they are. You helped me find a new hobby and I praise you for that! Never under estimate how much your fans care about you and your videos.

[@HartyBiker]

Yeah the horizon games aren't real good for actual racing. FM7 is a little better sometimes, but even that can be crap

[@JustCoconutsGaming]

The reason why the different racing line in the wet is quicker is because of rubber on the normal racing line. the rubber will let off a little bit of oil so when it starts raining it will be really slippery. eventually it will wash out but if it just starts raining then its better to brake of racing line :D

[@paulclegg8642]

I know what you mean about the rubber on the dry line in the wet, like bloody ice it was my first time outdoors a few weeks ago at a wet whilton,. go see how not to do it lol still good fun. That karts a beast 💪 too

[@combativeThinker]

15:00 So, the gutter-run technique Takumi uses in Initial D? Huh. Thought that was a bit of an embellishment, but apparently not.

[@truesus1718]

Yeah, I was shocked to find out that was real as well. Supposedly, that technique is the reason the Nurburgring Karussells are the way the are, so it's quite an old technique as well.

[@gtp_vexd3507]

The Caracciola Karussel is named after Rudolph Caracciola who ran two wheels in the drainage ditch to take the corner faster. Other drivers followed his line and eventually the ditch was concreted and became a permanent feature. It’s still the highlight of the lap for me, but man is it bumpy irl

[@Ryan_Micallef71]

What is the differnece between rotax and x30 dude? Alwyas played on my mind lol🤣

[@InfiniteXYT]

@@Ryan_Micallef71 rotax has more straight line speed and I Guess more power, but x30 is better in corners

[@kelvoton_gt790]

As an engine rotax got a bit more torque and it's quicker on corner exits. X30 got better tires with more grip and is just slightly faster at the end of the straights. As a class I think x30 is better. The engines are more even, like there is not that big of differences between the engines in the same class like in rotax one engine might be faster than the other out of the box. Rotax engines are a little more reliable, but they both are quite reliable engines tho and both are good classes too. I personally like x30 more. (Edit) rotax senior laptimes are slighly faster than x30 seniors if I remember correctly. I have not been driving this season anymore because time and money kinda became an issue😅
