Racing at the 'Monaco' of English Karting

[@charliepurr1211]

That was me in 6th. Thanks for the feedback Steve, definitely need to improve on getting past back markers quicker 👍🏻

[@CalvinnnnG]

Charlie Purr I thought you told me it wasn't for position!!😂

[@SpeedFreak0122]

Congrats on 7th bro👍

[@Super_GT]

No worries and yes, without that hesitation behind that one backmarker, you may well have been safe in 6th.

[@DaylightDigital]

0:53 My brain cannot comprehend that amount of understeer

[@nelsonphillips]

Luckily when you have that much understeer it doesn't require any decision making skills. Just turn and wait.

[@robertct06]

I’ve had understeer at almost completely straight

[@frugalapollo9211]

Cold tires + hard tire compound are rough out there

[@Jacklssitt103]

Go karts have a very high % of rear weight so they push a lot when it’s wet and on cold tyres

[@yeahman147]

Thee hairpin in the middle iss awful. Spin out alot when wet

[@MeskaRacing]

Let's add speed for next video. It would be cool to see even a small speed gadget in the left corner. You have to set GPS on in your settings and then add gadgets with gopro quik program. Best wishes

[@samuelmcdonagh1590]

Evaldas Meškonis I’d like to see that too, actually. Would definitely increase immersion in the videos!

[@martin3288]

Yeah good idea!

[@Super_GT]

GPS doesn't work on my camera. Tried everything to get it working but it simply doesn't.

[@MeskaRacing]

@@Super_GT I have hero 5 black and it has to work about 5 minutes to catch the gps signal and the gps icon lights up. It doesn't work inside, but it should work on most of the tracks you've been and shared :)

[@Super_GT]

@@MeskaRacing I have the 7 and it is known for having issues with the GPS. When it does connect, the data is completely wrong. I do have a 5 as well but it doesn't have the hypersmooth so I don't want to use that.

That understeer is like me Brain: go left Body: goes straight

[@Fatherless_boy]

Bruh when you cut them corners I feel like you're taking them too fast and you're about to spin out. Man respect for all race cat drivers I always had a notion of it being a sport that involved the car doing all the work but there's more to it. It's a team, awareness and reaction sport which produces high levels of stress.

[@ras_732]

I was there on Sunday supporting you! Was a bit too starstruck to meet you in person, but you did good out there!

[@Super_GT]

Cheers mate, thanks for the support!

[@evor6s]

ahhhh Red Lodge...last time I raced there, some guy got insanely angry at me after a race, ran over, pushed me, then swung his helmet at my head...ducked it and accidentally knocked him out due to reflexes, lmao. Reason he was angry? I "bumped" him to overtake him on the long sweeping left. Did I bump? No. Stuck right side and went around the outside with no contact, and got the pass on the tight right, he was slow due to bad line. Wonderful memories. Also, hello, recommended in 2021 KEKW

[@roccodeheer130]

Why you were understeering a lot at 0:50 is also because that kart has brand new tyres and there is a slick layer on them so they stay in shape before using them and that layer is very slippery that layer will go off in 1 lap.

[@lukepower8667]

Nah the tyres were cold and the track was still wet.

[@TheGreatOneMike]

Ghost the back-markers! lol nice driving, tenacious!

[@uk_laser3846]

Omg that's my local track!!

[@noahmaskrey3497]

Ok, here's a good question: Usually in other motorsports such as F1, you never see drivers doing the sort-of-drift thing you do in karts. How does that speed you up?

[@alexjfree]

Noah Maskrey no expert but i think it has something to do with how the kart carries speed through corners and more so its ability to accelerate out of the corner. I’m pretty sure the karts don’t accelerate very well, therefor the drivers want to try to avoid slowing down to much as this will effect lap time, by sliding they can carry more speed and obviously exit the corner faster. If we are comparing to f1 then obviously the f1 cars can accelerate pretty fuckin quick so they can take a more brake late, stop car, rotate car, shoot car out of corner, sort of a line. Another thing too consider is tyres, in the karts the tyres are basically indestructible, the tyre wear is next to none in a race like this one, so when the driver is sliding his way around a corner they don’t have to worry about wearing the tyre. On the other hand the f1 teams have a pretty big emphasis on conserving the tyre, they have a much higher performance tyre therefor it is softer and will wear significantly more than a kart tyre, on these f1 tyres sliding will most certainly destroy the tyre at a rapid rate and that is obviously not good. All in all i would say that the difference in performance between f1 and kart is the reason for the differing driving styles. Anyway like I said I’m not an expert, as a 15 year old I’m far from it! And so if anyone has more to add or thinks I’m completely wrong than i would very much like to know. Thanks, hope this helps

[@wingracer1614]

You don't want to drift, it slows you down. Unless of course you want to slow down fast. But with a solid rear axle (no differential) you often don't have a choice.

[@alexjfree]

wingracer 16 ahh yes this point about the solid axel is a very valid one. But i would still say that what they are doing is not exactly drifting, more power sliding, and a power slide is not necessarily going to slow you down. A power slide can and is being used to go faster in the karts and there are multiple examples of that in this video.

[@noahmaskrey3497]

@@alexjfree this has turned out to be much more interesting than I anticipated
