Driving a Shifter Kart for the First Time

In my 6 years of karting, shifters are BY FAR the most fun I've had racing. Although I had a CR125. If you want to try a 6 speed that is a great stepping stone to the KZ2

So nice to see you driving the DD2, it's fast as hell!! You did very good with it!! About that "Ayrton Senna" driver that went past you at the begining of the video, he was driving a Wankel Aixro XR-50... This thing has like 52hp and is faster than a KZ10 Shifter Kart!! (The 6-speed one) Preeeeeeetty damn fast!!

[@stickybuds05]

A rotary kart with 52hp....wow. Learn something new every day. What a weapon!

Glad to see you back in a kart! These are my favorite videos you make! I’m looking into getting off the mx bike and start karting myself. But here where I live, rental kart series are hard to get into, as there’s only one track within an hours drive that does it, and not on a regular basis.

[@zachogdahl210]

I saw that kosmic on the stand and it reminded me of how much i wanted one when i was a kid, their liverys were so damn cool. I had an italkart sponsorship though so i was pretty happy with those frames.

[@robertkart9844]

I have 2 Kz 2 karts here in Romania and plenty of cool karting tracks. It would be a true honor to have you behind the wheel on one of the karting tracks🏁

Karting vids are why I’m here... love all of them

[@xtheconvicted]

I’m so jealous, in Germany the tracks are still closed with no mention on when they’ll be open again. At least the ones near me. Last I drove was last summer...

[@HRM.H]

Come to the netherlands my friend. Tracks have been open here the whole time. Just tighter rules as expected. Im having a test and tune session at TT Assen Thursday !

[@dundeedolphin]

I love your attitude about not having the best kart. 100% agree. 👍

[@Luis_insua21]

I am going to give you a hint about go karts that probably your teammates haven't told you , it doesn't matter how well you take the corner as longest you are doing the right tracing , so what i mean is , if you brake super hard in a corner where you usually take it half brake, you are going to lose some time in the corner but you are also going to have more grip and better acceleration and in corners that are a little weird or that you lose a lot of grip when you take them on full speed just lift a little and you are going to have better acceleration , believe me this hint was given to me by a NASCAR champion "Sergio Perez's brother Toño Perez" , but if you are new to the sport or at least new to shifter karts , honestly i think that you do really good !!

[@horaceh9330]

That is me in the Madcroc chassis with the senna sticker kit Sadly I changed sticker set at weekend for a Ferrari one I am running an Aixro xr30 Rotary engine racing in the F300 series visiting many tracks around the country Great series with very friendly drivers 😁😁😁🏆🏆🏁🏁

[@GtMatt]

First time in a shifter, you break it then immediately ask to have a go in a much faster and more expensive one lol Nice. Only kidding, great vid, thanks for sharing.

[@tidgney]

Of course the number 6 kart was the best xD! Name a more iconic duo of 6 and Steve :D!

[@alexjoyner8752]

A set of decent tyres wouldn’t go a miss. If you ever fancy seeing how much time you can take off your PB when a senior rotax is setup properly based on your driving style and that experience of giving feedback to a mechanic to make the changes and how much of an impact that can make - happy to lend you my 2021 Senior rotax for a blast around Whilton. Would be interesting watch

[@tadasratkevicius4910]

im really happy to see u race in REAL karts!
