Yes it's very slippery, makes it more about driver skill so I love it!

Thanks!! watch that sector 3 time drop now that you don't use the brakes

@@dawsoncampbell no, thank you! and can’t wait man I’ll see you this week at some point for sure💯

nice!

can't wait for you to come try!

super fast!!

Fast enough for me :)

based on the junior karts in Canada. the track is all gas no brakes. so taking the shortest racing line possible is advantageous.

@@dawsoncampbell Thanks!

20.5 from my knowledge

yes I've run all K1 tracks in Canada. Toronto is my favorite.

I haven’t tried Toronto yet but I heard it’s good

nope, always one or the other.

nice! book a session with me and we can get you into the 22's!

just letting off the gas. not using the brakes at all on a fast lap.

because of the downhill

what lol

go slower in the corners.

You need to go slower to go faster lol

yes:(

first hairpin I let off right before I start turning. turn 8 is the final corner right? aim to hug the apex around the whole corner.

@@dawsoncampbell Sounds great man, im going this weekend so hopefully i can dip into the 21 second area. Appreciate the help!

my pleasure. good luck!

weight is a factor. but you're only 40 pounds more than me so shouldn't be more than a few tenths. Try to slow down more by getting off the throttle earlier. it's really important not to slide there.

@@dawsoncampbell thanks for the quick reply bro, I’m gonna be going again in a week or two - I’ll have to try lifting earlier. Do you brake at all for rotation at the hairpins btw?

Nope just get off the gas and use the front tires to slow you down

@@dawsoncampbell thanks bro!

be more gentle with the brakes!

@@dawsoncampbell wow this really helped!! Brought my time down from 23s to 21.2s, still not 100% confident on the hairpin tho, hopefully will get better w practice.

@@Gaurav-kx7mp yay! happy it helped. nice time!

yes, that's a great time! To me, that means you're using the proper racing line and not afraid to go full send into the corners. Keep it up! :)

hahaha nice spot!

ive seen you

good thing you watched my video now you don't have to go

@@dawsoncampbell I already went

same as other k1 locations. Definitely pretty small! thank you!

RPM and Gear. not sure how accurate the RPM is though.

not anymore

Thanks!

assuming you mean K1. My favorite is K1 Toronto. 2nd favorite is Cambridge. 3rd favorite is Mississauga. and once VOLT raceway opens it'll be my new alltime favorite.

yup still fun tho :)

yes I only brake at the fast hairpin. Turn 2 quick lift on entry then right back to full throttle. Turn 3, I'm undecided, I think it's faster to not hit it, carry the speed because you're full throttle from Turn 2 to the fast hairpin.

@@dawsoncampbell gotcha. for the fast hairpin, are you braking as soon as you let off or closer to the apex to get it to turn?

as soon as I let off. Gentle braking so u don't get a big slide

@@dawsoncampbell cool, appreciate the advice. I'm gonna experiment a bit next time I go there

@@hellakray8514 enjoy! I'll be back in the next few weeks to see how much the track has gripped up!

There is still a lot of dust on the track. I was dealing with understeer in almost every corner. But yes these karts hook up really well in the slow speed corners. it's fun :)

Thank you! It's tough to say but my guess is that we'll only dip into the low 19's. I can't see an 18 happening.

@@dawsoncampbell 19.0 happened yesterday… this is exciting! Let’s see what happens!

@@dawsoncampbell you see the fastest times posted current date?

yes 17 seconds has happened which is absolutely wild to me. hoping to get back out there soon.

Yes high to mid 19's. Best of the day for me was a 19.599.

not in quite a few years.

from memory, which is better?@@dawsoncampbell

@produck3098 from memory Hamilton is pretty high speed. This track is slower, but more technical, and the bridge is fun. Also these don't smell of gas.

I’d say in my opinion K1 Speed is better.

it's fun!

​@@dawsoncampbell it is but some people can NOT DRIVE 😭🙏

ya typical K1 speed

I was there too my sister hit me so many times😭

​@@2024ToyotaCorollacrossXLEAWD mine did the same so I threw a pack of ramen noodles at her

Ontario is limited to 45kmh. but it feels like 60kmh coming down the hill lol

In your opinion, is it worthwhile?@@dawsoncampbell

absolutely. I drove 2.5 hours just to do a few races here. But if Toronto or Mississauga are closer to you, then it might influence your decision.

Have you ever been to Hamilton indoor go karts?@@dawsoncampbell

yes not very good for racing. but good for doing qualifying/practice laps.

more fun than it looks. plus, it's the only go-kart track within over an hour drive!

@@dawsoncampbell K1 is worth the drive that's for sure I wouldn't pay money to be on this track.

153 pounds soaking wet lol. Roughly the same when I set the record.

me or him?

@@dawsoncampbell him

That was a bad hit by him. But exactly one lap later you had the chance to take him on the inside on the same corner but you followed him. I watched it a few times and my I stint might be wrong...but I have taken quite a few people on that second hair pin by keeping tight to the apex and keeping the inside. Not trying to be a back seat driver...but by doing that you force him on an outside bad line for the next corner. You passed him fairly your way and cleanly...I would have been more aggressive on the Second hairpin the lap after he hit badly. I am going to watch again...but I believe you had the skill to get him there and slow him down significantly the next lap.

always trying to pass as cleanly as possible

don't use the brakes here.

@@dawsoncampbell Oh, and in which curve do you slow down the most? or you go all out 😅

@@oscaardmp9664 slow down the most for turn 4 (the first hairpin). Then turn 2. then the final turn. just releasing off the gas pedal to slow down enough for each of the above corners.

Haha I wish it was 26 seconds. That would definitely add a few more turns. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching! Hope you learn a thing or two.

Good racing with you! Yes you definitely got the short end of the stick more than once lol

Toronto is more technical, you actually need to use the brakes to be fast. But I've also done over 500 races at Toronto and less than 20 at Mississauga so I'm a little biased.

@@dawsoncampbelldo you need the brakes to be fast in sauga? did you use the brakes in this vid?

no brakes
