I’ve always enjoyed your Club 100 kart racing. It’s what brought me to your channel many years ago. I’m happy to see you back and making exciting content in the karting community.

[@itsy3h]

This game looks incredible, crazy how much technology has come.

[@bottomsplitracing]

Ikr, he must have the GT8 beta, man that one is going to be sweet.😃

[@MarkMash17]

Physics look a bit off though

[@rolirolster]

I always feel nostalgic watching one of these, it's how I first discovered you back in 2018 or so.

"A little bit shaky" Proceeds to give the camera a seizure

Shook the chain off that cart

Wow! Gran Tourismo looks very realistic

Interesting. I didn't realise this is where you race. It's where I go once a month or so for a meeting (not race meeting, more like boring business meeting).

[@RefrigeratedTP]

I think his most viewed video of all time is at this track! He has tons of videos karting there

[@generalguilmon6719]

Buckmore Park is his real home circuit, but he seems to like Whilton Mill as well

which business has a meeting at a karting place over a meeting hall or office space!? sounds like a cool organization

[@mediocre-motorcycle-modifi6818]

It's nice to see it the other way around. A lot of us joined club 100 expecting to be SuperGT dive bombing everyone but in reality every heat was like this A final.

[@ras_732]

0:34 Paul Greengrass would be proud with that shaky cam!

[@Prederick]

LOL, seriously. He said "a little shaky" and I thought I was prepared, and then I actually watched it.

[@dodgy1779]

I kind of like it. I think while it does disrupt the old flow I feel like it adds a bit of depth and forces you to pay more attention to your exit. However, I wonder how it will affect overtaking opportunities.

[@WillArtie]

Yeah, me thinks twas the cart in the final - there's a reason why that "spare" machine wasn't already out on track! I remember doing some indoor carting many years back with a group of work colleagues, and just killing it up front with a few other guys, feeling like a hero. Then half way through they got us all to swap carts, person in last cart got the first cart etc. Im thinking, why the heck are we doing this? Ohhhh... Didnt feel so heroic after that with major vibrations, squashy brakes and limited top end. lol.

[@joecraddock6542]

Hey Steve, great to see you in the paddock again at club 100, apologies I didn’t come and say hi I was too busy getting moaned at during testing lol, great to see you out in a kart again mate! If you come and do any in 2025 I’ll be sure to come and say hi

Good stuff Steve, never lose touch with the basics! The car may be different, but the physics remain the same. That's all it is, managing the physics. Go get em Steve O! 🤝

Signed up for the 2025 Northern Championship (live in South Cumbria). Can’t afford all 5 rounds, so gonna do Rowrah and Warden Law to keep costs down. Need a new helmet and some lead anyway! Used code “SUPERGT” 😁

[@gt_blaze1764]

Awesome to see the Karting videos are back. It wasn't the result you were hoping for but still made a great watch. Hope to see more soon.

[@Pratalax]

Damn, this some real oldskool SuperGT hours here! Nice hearing all those old familiar corner names again.

[@neblolthecarnerd]

Nice to see you getting back into club 100 content. Thanks to you I was awate of it and now I am going to be attending the bukc qualifiers next week. Never done any racing before so its going to be a bit of a trial by fire but I've been loving driving the club 100 karts so far. Completely blows rentals out the water.

[@GregzVR]

I love Whilton Mill in KartKraft. This chicane looks interesting.

[@Jumbo-_-chicken]

Oh my what a video 😁😁 3:48 what a throwback

Man you a genius. I enjoy your feeds often. And I wonder why is this guy not racing GT or ProAm cups. For REAL! Like full season and so on. You deserve more. Kudos mate! Stay at it.

[@generalguilmon6719]

He has raced a full season of GT4 in NLS this year, and he's really fast there

[@lucvincentmetz8144]

Steve may have lost some karting fitness but definitely no karting race-craft! A shame about the kart change going wrong in the end but that's rental kart racing, we've all been there. 😅 The heats were pretty damn good though. 👍 Also really nice of them to give out points if the DNF wasn't your fault.

[@Greydawg]

My heart rate doubled in the first 2 minutes of this video. That camera makes my palms sweat like faucets in these races. Tremendous stuff, albeit terrifying. 😬

[@babiiblueboi]

Love your Karting videos. I wish you did it much more often. @5:10 very wild behavior. 🤣

[@imbadragon8776]

Loving the karting content again! Would love to see more Club100 content :)

[@ShaunMcG]

My 100+KG was slow at Karun's Karting Carnival a few years ago. But even I know the last two turns worked and this won't slow down T1/T2 where the actual accidents were

[@projecticeman5142]

I raced again few months back for the streamed GamesAid '24 final, good to see you race the new layout, always a pleasure.

[@Piranhamatt]

Reminds me of years ago at m4karting My kart had horrendous acceleration and there was a lot of curvy slow down sections. Could keep it flat and pull away on the straights and long sweeping sections and not braking, but come to the small technical section you wonder if it was quicker to get out and push

[@travisleung1]

So happy that GYG is back for the BUKC calendar this year (Thank you Club 100 expansion)

[@artimusprimeutube]

"Unfortunate there, I was braking as hard as I can". Cart falls out of frame like a Pokemon®.

[@AuroDHikoshi]

even for going to the Nurgburgring, still finding a way to keep Karts as a focus as well... Steve is an impressive racer.

Nice to see some Karting content finally again!

[@TheMiGger]

They did the same exact thing as last corner at Barcelona: fast flowing couple of corners into final straight -> slow chicane into out-of-flow last corner

[@StarkRaven59]

Good news though, they fixed it. Hacked away a grandstand and added more gravel, now it's back to being fast as hell.

[@RenanRDS9]

Is always great to see a SuperGt karting video

[@MrBlacksHawk]

Always love these karting videos ! Hope for some more as soon as possible !!!

[@guy990]

Lovely karting video from you a pleasant surprise and change from the video game footage the racing was close and exciting irl last to first challenge to warm up was a great way to set up the rest of the video with some excellent driving and racing sense also you flexing on everyone in your bilstien racing suit and and fanatec quadrant helmet 😂 the local boys probably like wtf is he doing here

[@sutha0677]

I’m a regular at Whilton mill and in the regular bireal karts you can actually overtake into that chicane.. all be it if the person your overtaking is slow, but if someone try’s to do it with you, you can defend it without there being a massive crash lol. But I have said to people there use the original layout for karts that are not going to be damaged like pro karts or alternatively, remove the rumble strip on the exit and maybe make it normal run off/ extend the track width ways. Additionally they could lower the big massive send you to narnia inside kerb on last corner. The only reason they had to put the chicane in is because motorsport uk told them too because of complaints of the rubble strip or their license would be taken…….

[@jackmeikle2700]

I did a BUKC test at whilton in the wet the other week and i agree that the chicane kinda ruins the flow but it isnt the worst retrofitted chicane in the world. The extra grip of the new tarmac was very nice as well

[@hunter.4091]

Missed the club 100 karting videos, lets go steve!!

[@SergeyKorsikov]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR KARTING VIDEOS A LOT, STEVE !!! :)

[@jamnchips]

The new layout bend your chassis in owner driver since the fastest way is to smash it, like middle of the seat over the kerb levels of smash it. End of the day your chassis is almost a centimetre out.

[@ruikazane5123]

Looking at this...they surely have to work on the carts better than that. Hope they get that sorted with the expansion! I'm nowhere near the UK so all we can do is watch. Pretty fancy with the Bilstein suit!

[@CallOfDuals]

Really enjoy the karting videos Steve, would love to see them more often!

[@joaopedrolorentz5099]

[@Bamaged_Drain]

15:20 bro probably forgot to put his radar on

[@jamesharris3645]

Surely its to stop people doing what Lando nearly did and hitting the barrier on the left of the start finish ?

[@dannywhite132]

It is but there are so many ways they could have changed the track. Also the issue was just them not enforcing track limits on the corner

[@F1Marky264]

Honestly the new corner is rubbish. I went along to a Club 73 Race recently. (Very out of practice..) embarrassingly beached myself on Christmas corner in the wet. But came away not enjoying the new layout very much unfortunately! Good to see more Karting clips back on the channel Steve!

So...... These are all 'Series-owned' karts', theoretically identical? Didn't catch this until now......

[@InitialP_Photography]

Fuji vibes with that Chicane.

[@geminidefect]

wow!! ps5 pro update looks so real!!

[@andrewcarter9649]

I feel like I've seen a whole bunch of your karting videos where you have a good run through the heats then end up with a dodgy kart for the final.

[@OskartWild]

I feel a lot of envy, I wish we had this kind of karts in Spain. There are a lot of competitions in the Sodi’s, but they are much slower. The chain inchident was very unfortunate, and the last tractor you drove… well, you couldn’t do too much there, could you? Sorry for you, mate. Anyway, good video, it’s good to watch Club 100 karting races back in your channel :)

[@whiterottenrabbit]

Google Maps still shows the old layout, I wonder when they will update

[@Boosted_5.0]

love the karting videos

[@drobemfr]

It's always funny to me when drivers complain about track layouts. Did you ever think that certain parts of the track are DESIGNED TO ANNOY YOU? The point is to take you off your game, not make you comfortable. If you want a comfortable track layout, drag race on a miles long salt flat with no turning or braking. Otherwise, race the track.

[@2Syndras1Cup]

0:40 horror movie footage, monster POV. Super GT horror movie when?

[@williammaurice7206]

I think any flowing turn without runoff needs a good old chicane. There needs to be something that pauses the rhythm and side by side racing. Am I being sarcastic? My heart wasn't in it but I guess so. You did prove your pace, it was nice of them to still give you credit.

[@toaster-real]

such a shame about that final but as you said that's how hire karting goes sometime :/ still excited to join c100 next year tho :P

Man! I was with GKL over the weekend. So sad I missed meeting you buy a couple of days! 🥺

great vid steve, hope to see you at buckmore on sunday!

[@Ezrabateman09]

Karting!!!! Let's goooo!!!!!!

[@Reuben_Mamelok]

New layout, tried it, didn’t like it. Did some C100 on the old layout then I did a round of WMKC this year on the new one, just didn’t flow right, sent the kart all over the place and just ruined the track a small bit for me. Still a great track though don’t get me wrong Nice to see you back in a kart though, now time for some Buckmore owner races

[@Valomek]

GT sayiny the camera was "a little bit shaky" makes me question things in life 😅

[@QBDLettuce]

The physics seem off. 😅 JK, looks like a good bit of fun. Have you ever raced Shifter Karts? Now those haul some ass.

[@JabbieYT]

A karting video!!!

[@JabbieYT]

Must say, in x30 the new layout is really clunky, just way too tight for owner karts imo

[@dannywhite132]

And c100 are super restricted. The corner is too tight because the gearing for whilton means you always bog in it, or you run gearing that limits your top end

[@arlesr.2514]

Even here we have the tryhard camera 💯🤙

[@Thud_jack]

Nice I wish we had something like this in my area

[@crogurules]

whos your cameraman, he did a great job on the first practice

[@Gatitasecsii]

Honestly, the chicane looks kinda fun

[@1985slipstream]

Adding slower corners usually ruins tracks, Larkhalls new infield addition is aweful as well as its extension down the bottom. Crail's infield addition instead of its massive long radious left.
