The Kart Races Where I Improved Massively

[@jensenpughe60]

Thank you for the mention in the video I appreciate it, it was me that had the accident, it’s gonna be a long recovery and I have to have another operation to remove the pins in my leg once it heals but I will be back. Currently laying in bed playing F1 2021 😂.

Femurs are nasty bones to break, hope it gets better soon and at the very least you will have some mighty battle scars by the sound of it xD

Get well mate, hope you get a good recovery and come back twice as fast

[@benpobke6567]

Good luck with the recovery mate

[@watwat2540]

come back better than Hamilton, hope it gets better quick

[@nmoran2046]

Speedy recovery

Steve, I really appreciate that you share your failures as well as successes with the channel. It's been great to watch you on this journey. Cheers!

[@ryeb]

@Firstname Lastname when you grow up to be a big boy, you'll realize that failures are just a part of the process of growth - if you're reflective and choose to learn form them. also where's your 600k subscriber youtube channel bro

[@rvladimiro]

When I stumbled on your channel some months ago I didn't care about motorsport or racing video games. I've watched dozens of your videos and now the only thing I play are racing video games (with a wheel go figure!) and I even follow F1, cheering for Lando Noris. You are a class act and a fantastic entertaining communicator. Thank you for a new hobby and hours and hours of learning and entertainement.

[@Super_GT]

Great to hear it mate, love that!

[@hidde8232]

This is exactly what happend to me

[@leotassopoulos3431]

cheering for lando norris made me laugh for some reason, but good for you, welcome to the wonderful world of motorsport!

Good man, hope you do well in your karting adventures

[@TheAlphaWolf77]

That's super cool! Good luck in your races

[@yoshida.azumi.]

Hello, SuperGT, viewer here. Seeing you go backwards in the positions at times really does feel frustrating, but it is within those feelings of frustration that we get to see how hard competitive karting is. So close, yet so far. And seeing learning opportunities in both wins and losses just like you do can only make you better. Thank you for some nice, close racing. Big kudos, & go get 'em. ;)

[@TheAlphaWolf77]

5th is a great result! Watching how it unfolded, was a bit of a heartbreaker, cuz we all wanna see our guy on the podium! Good job Steve! Can't wait for the next round!

[@littletodd]

I was there trackside with my brother, brilliant to see you do well in the final, finishing 5th if I remember, huge step up from the start of the year!

[@JDPlonk]

40 mins of racing highlights. That’s like a perfect length of video for racing highlights. Great vid dude. Can’t wait for more

[@brianwaldo2642]

Such an improvement from when you started Senior Rotax. Your confidence is translating into elevated aggression on the track. Those more seasoned drivers are going to have to take note of your progress or find themselves eating your exhaust fumes. Well done Steve.

[@tommyzinn6133]

As someone who has watched since the early days of the Forza videos it’s really awesome to watch you progress into real life driving success. If you ever end up racing in America I’ll be there. Happy for you

[@christopherye4146]

Really happy to see all of your improvements (especially how you've improved your stability on the brakes) in driving the cart. You're honing your race craft and improving fitness, all of which is helping you fight at the front and/or move forward in the pack. Love to see it.

[@ElisonNilsonCoelho]

I drove in karts one time and having no rear view mirror scared the shit out of me, not knowing what's happening behind, I was very slow (because first time) and the other people were much faster than me, so my "race" was basically trying to guess from nothing where people would come from to pass me, trying to stay out of the way, that day was awesome because I wanted so much to drive in karts, but also scary as hell.

[@hkr667]

The first time karting you basically get murdered every corner.

[@Super_GT]

Yeah this is common when you're starting out. I recall when I first raced back in 2002 and I was thinking more about the other karts than thinking about my own driving.

[@Richard25000]

When I lend a kart to people to try I tell them this. Look forward ignore everyone and everything behind you. Focus on your driving and line etc. People who are better and faster will get past and its their responsibility to do it safely. If you keep looking back you're not in full control or paying attention to what you're trying to do. I tell people never move off your line as it makes you unpredictable. People behind maybe coming up behind at a high pace and have committed to pass you in a certain way. If you do something unpredictable or lurch out the way its far more likely their will be a collision 💥 You have as much right to be there as them and they will know how to pass you if you just do your thing and keep to a predictable line as you're focused on what you're doing. Also if you keep moving out the way you slow up which means even more people catch you and you never ever get up to speed as the next person catches. By focusing on you, you actually get the opportunity to pick up your speed and then less people pass you. So next time eye's forward do your thing you'll get even more out of it.

[@uselessDM]

Really like the footage here, more enjoyable than the onboard for a longer video imo. Congrats on the result as well.

[@harrymurdoch8865]

Congrats Steve. Really happy you're finding your feet in the new kart. Fun to watch a breakdown of the whole week

[@MattShannon]

Thank you! Loved the talk through of the whole weekend seeing the whole process as well as the strategy discussions. Great stuff.

[@gunterfreeman4768]

When Steve gets better than 6th place in a 29th position race, against veteran rotax drivers, its a good time!

[@DirtyiRenter]

I genuinely like watching super gt drive and I think he’s actually a pretty great driver. Hoping one day someone decides to give him a seat in professional racing 👌

[@NorbergNation]

Great job! Nice to see you making a step forward after your last race! Keep It up!

[@Super_GT]

Thanks Ryan, appreciate it mate!

[@R2D2trashcan]

Just want to say your content is better than it’s ever been, really enjoying it.

[@chuckwagon7354]

That was just brilliant. Compare that last race with one of your earlier races and they are worlds apart. Onwards and upwards.

[@sammydendoncker3980]

Man i love this. Im a fan dude! I think you climbing up step by step. I wonder where you gonna be in 5 years from now. Congrats on that result!

[@jn8092]

So, firstly - well done!!!! Secondly, we’re all clear now that there are only 2 issues here. Either your new chasis has sorted whatever was wrong with the old one, or with less rubber down your kart works much better. Either way making good progress. I’m chuffed for you. On another day that was a nailed podium finish.

[@asaa.kartracing]

Saw this live this weekend. You've really drawn attention to British karting!

[@kartikeyaanand4999]

bro, i just wanted to say, thank you for getting me into sim racing. i’m not the best, or the worst, but i remember watching a Gran Turismo video (idk which one) 2 years ago, and that’s got me into cars, and sim racing a lot more. Thank you Steve.

[@rigger8722]

Well done Steve, seems that the new cart, physical training and race training has really paid off. You missed out on the podium - but at least you aren't going backwards like you were previously. Onwards and upwards!

[@DUKWAK]

Nice dude! You're looking pretty competitive out there. Glad to see it's starting to come together for you. And 5th? Sheeeit, that's one whole position better than 6th aka the "SuperGT Especial"

Was great watching it live from Bathurst Australia, love the banter with the commentators , they kind of know me by now across a few different tracks. Your progress has been great this season Mate, good job and race craft is stepping up as I said it would with laps and races. 2022 will be a great season for you with this learning year completed.

Steve idk how you feel about this comment but you look so much more confident at this circuit, you showed real pace in this one. Keep at it you'll replicate pace like this everywhere in good time Love the swarm of vids lately, thank you

It certainly helped that this is the track I've driven the most this year.

[@twallace755]

nice job steve! You introduced me to me to Club100 (only had done 4 stroke rental championships before) and did a test at Whilton Mill and have another one booked at Bayford Meadows with an aim to do Lightweights next year. All the best!

[@W.13th]

*CONGRATS* on 163 !!! Phenomenal weekend, GT 🏁 Hell of a sight. GL out there. To everyone

[@bakedbeings]

One note on that seat-time: From Rock Climbing and Skateboarding experience - sports that also require precision and explosiveness in dynamic situations - there's no getting around the 2-3 years it takes to thicken up those tendons and connective tissues. The brain and muscle get there sooner, but building sport-specific, steel-strong support (hello F1 neck, two finger chin-ups) takes constant use at the limit.

[@tunedbyrabbid]

I went whilton a couple weeks ago in my senior rotax for first time in about 18 months Turn 1 and 2 is a lot tricker in a rotax then club 100, taking loads of curb turn 1 really did help me but took me most the day to realise. Also definitely a circuit that gets you practicing on brakes and getting confident on braking. We had an open pit lane too as it was a quiet Wednesday's with only 17 karts total.

[@DamienE11]

Hi Steve, recently found your channel through Quadrant and I'm loving your content, hope you finish off the season well and you've even inspired me to give low level competitive karting down here in Australia a go, there's a new multi layout venue opening near me that will be running 12 round weekly/monthly tournaments in sodi RSX's, keen to give it a go, should be fun!

hey mate you really inspired me to do karting so i have just started to race. keep up the great content.

[@albinorhino6]

I still don’t understand the difference between X30 and Rotax. Is it a different chassis, different engine, different tires? Why is there two separate categories that seem so similar…what’s the point, why not combine them together for bigger grids? From a western Canadian where no karting leagues exist.

[@Richard25000]

Iame X30 or Rotax Max is the engine manufacturer and model. Both 2 stroke 125cc approx 30hp. Each category of engine has their own unique rule sets also such as tyres. Mojo for rotax komet for rotax. The underlying chassis etc are the same. You can unbolt your engine and wheels bolt on the other category and race in the other category easily enough. As to why, people prefer different feels of different engined or tyres etc. Also depends what's popular in your local area. In my area you literally only see rotax where others you may only see X30. Generally at a meeting like this they race separately, but if at small clubs where they have 5 or 6 of each they may well race together to boost numbers. But here they have 20/30 per class and the track licence probably wouldn't allow 40 to 50 karts at once. Some times they're even split by weight if there's enough do Rotax 162kg or Rotax 177kg may race separately or together depending on the number of entries. Check out Brent Kadlers channel he races in Canada at a club that uses rotax.

[@brads2041]

great job Steve!!! Great to see your progress

[@mojojoji5493]

Need more videos like this this is awesome to see so much action

[@JeAn-sb4hd]

This is great, the only thing I can suggest maybe is that you need to load the kart more, make the kart turn for you. You can minimize wheel spin and get the power down better

[@MrAeroHD]

You’re already looking so much better

[@Loctorak]

See? I told you you'd get some better runs to make up for the weeks where you felt you hadn't done very well! I liked this one - it was great to see your kart race go a similar direction to your GT Sport races, with a calculated and consistent push towards the front of the pack. Happy to be along for the ride (pardon the pun) to keep watching you grow as a racer. Next stop: Red Bull!! 😁

[@F1Nico22]

Damn it’s been so long I forgot these videos existed. Loving them though. When I saw this and saw it was 38 minutes long I sent my A button on my controller to the shadow realm

[@TommTooTone]

👏👏Look at this! Idk if anyone's told you this but. Notice how when winning doesn't matter you do the best I've seen? could just be the new cart but I've always had a feeling that your desire to win Is the reason you don't, even in GT, sometimes you think too much and just need to drive and free your mind from the data on your laptop and counting every corner. Be the car, be the road. Very aggressive in practice 😆

[@evor6s]

man I really miss karting. Whilton used to be my local track, only being about 20 mins from me before I moved to sheep-shagger territory. Would actually love to get back into it, and watching all these just makes me even more excited

[@hannahtaylor8563]

Love the look of that Lando kart

[@mikepsychles]

Hi Steve - Just curious... How tightly are you holding the wheel? Do you get forearm pump? It's important, in a kart, to try not to clamp down on the steering wheel too firmly as this will help keep your movements smooth and calm while cornering. Also, I noticed that when you are following you tend to lose track of your line and, instead, follow the kart in front of you. Particularly on the Saturday morning run, your line was typically faster than the people you were following, but when they blew a corner, you couldn't take advantage because you were not hitting the marks you had been consistently hitting, earlier. Great job! Hope to see you fighting up front soon!

[@trautsj]

Hell yea mate! So happy for you my dude :D

[@pms3068]

Great progress so far, I think your braking energy is good, just try to release it before entering the corner, if you enter it while locking you will lose the rear.

[@carolbaynham4035]

I confused myself for a minute there. In Australia when a driver has blue number plates they have won an official state event in that recent year. I looked at the grid and was like how on earth have so many people won state events 🤣🤣 anyways keep it up love the content

[@Richard25000]

MSUK uses Blue for rotax 162kg green for 177kg Black for novice so if they all race together you can tell them apart. Winners here usually get a number 1 or they get special letter plates.
