I'm kinda a docklands regular and there's a few things I want to say (Maybe a lot actually) Just a note: The start/fin line is actually right before turn 4. Even at time of recording of this video is where the start/fin line actually was 0:10 - You scrubbed off quite a bit of speed trying to rotate the kart 0:23/1:47 - You're right about aiming for the middle apex but your kart should be pointing more to the left by turning in later As a result of that at 0:23/1:53 you've comprised your exit a bit and had to jerk the steering as a result of it and at 0:25/2:01 causes you to countersteer and scrub off your exit speed. Ideally you want to be smooth all the way through, get your kart pointing more to the left at Turn 2 (Turn 5 in the video) and ease the kart all the way to the outside after clipping the middle apex at turn Turn 3 (Turn 6 in vid) The upper level double right hander at 0:32/2:17 - You've got the right line but it can be quite hard to keep that momentum keeping it floored and you did a good job keeping that momentum You can either release right before the first apex and chuck the steering to get rotation and then floor it mid apex And if your kart hops a lot at that part if you keep it pinned or whilst release, Dab on the brakes and chuck the steering to get that rotation and momentum (Honestly idk if it works well for others but its fine for me) + lean out like he did Downhill hairpin with metal strip at 0:36/2:39 - You've got to be careful when you're braking on it because it can sometimes unsettle the kart and cause a lot of oversteer. You have to be quite bold to actually brake on that metal strip if youre light as a twig (well for me) The double hairpin at the bottom - 0:43/2:57 Honestly hate it with an understeery kart You have a good line in general and theres not much for me to say apart from making sure you dont go too aggresive in the firsy hairpin and bog down the kart and keep it nice and smooth at the 2nd apex Hope this helped 😅

[@kartingtips]

Wow! I really appreciate the detailed feedback 🙌 I hope to implement your recommendations next time I’m in the UK!

[@AdelWhips]

What is your vest lap time at docklands? because i want to learn on getting better on this track as well.

[@MXFlamez]

​@@AdelWhips43.848 That was however when kart 4 was at its peak but now they've nerfed a good set of karts including 4

[@AdelWhips]

@@MXFlamez Oh nice if i go to docklands i will try to impliment ypur advice with ltips advice around some of the corners.

[@henrymichael13]

@@MXFlamezhi mate, I’m going this evening. My best lap is a 45.5, anything I should focus on to improve that?

[@user-dg3oh6wf9p]

I have just started karting i did it 2 times here i got a really bad injury but best time is 55 seconds and its gonna be my 3rd race tomorrow and gor moved to advanced on my 2nd race and got 3rd or 2nd in the advanced one

[@DouglasCRPaes]

What a nice indoor track

[@DrR1pper]

What camera are you using with your bell helmet and attachment? Thanks!

[@kartingtips]

I'm using the GoPro Hero 10 with a curved adhesive mount.

[@AdelWhips]

On the first stright should i place my kart a little to the right or little bit yo the middle of the track when on a flying lap or in a race in order to get a good entry and exit for turn 1?

[@kartingtips]

I recommend placing your kart more to the right hand side

[@AdelWhips]

@@kartingtips Do i do this for every lap or do i only do it when going for a flying lap?

[@kartingtips]

@@AdelWhips You should do it especially for flying laps but if somebody is behind you stay in the middle so they can't divebomb you!

[@AdelWhips]

@@kartingtips Cool that makes sense thanks for helping me👍

[@DrR1pper]

Do you remember what your seating position was (there are 5 options)?

[@kartingtips]

I don't remember tbh! It might have been the middle option.

[@kaiserrazzaq6865]

Thanks for the video. My best time is 48.6 in petrol karts here. First time in the new electric karts here was 46.1 in, but did a 45.6 on the next visit. Having followed the fastest guy to try and learn where I was going wrong I realised my weak areas. 1. braking too early and gently and for too long. 2. Not enough early rotation for tighter corners. I'll try focusing on these areas next visit. Teamsport have posted a video of a 41 second lap. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpW0dHSrd7WFps0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2TNqmivfceVosU

Where is it?

[@kian_7866]

track is teamsport london docklands

[@antoniosamaranchi3223]

2:44 are you sure, to keep braking in the turn?

[@MXFlamez]

As soon as you brake and turn in you floor it You'd have slowed down the kart enough to not need to do any trail braking before the hairpin

[@antoniosamaranchi3223]

@@MXFlamez it’s a rental cart. All you say is for sport frame.

[@MXFlamez]

@@antoniosamaranchi3223 Yeah Ik that mate. I literally used to drive at this track on a regular basis and still occasionally do so ik how to be decently fast at it and help others out yk 🥲

[@kartingtips]

I press the brakes hard for a short period to get rotation which helps turn the kart, especially in tight corners like that hairpin.

[@antoniosamaranchi3223]

@@kartingtips I see. It wasn’t trail braking.
