Usually just after the 'S' turns - 0:29. Just after the up ramp - 0:18 is a great place to use it for overtaking ;)

There’s only 1 part of the track you need to brake on which is the last hairpin downstairs before you go up the ramp, make sure you are sliding too much because you will lose time from doing that and it’s also about just getting lucky with the lap so no orange lights, perfect run and turns throughout the track and making sure you use the blue button the one of the straights, took me a couple days to hit a 41 but you will hit it 100% if you are hitting 42

It's a members event and so the karts get higher output which makes a big difference in lap times, they are much faster. I think I immediately knocked 1.5 secs off my time and I was out of control for most of that!

@@Pasthimthat explains a lot. Was wondering how I was ever going to get near this time 😅

​@Pasthim you serious? So managing a 1:42 on the typical anyone race is pretty good then! Im getting consistent 1.42 😢.5 regularly. Makes me want to see what the members karts are all about then!

Ah cool! How did you find it?

@@russdriving it was great and I had a lot of fun

43.092 - ruclips.net/video/rRsMfEVK37I/видео.html But they have changed the boost slightly now, since then, 44.201 - ruclips.net/video/h9PlfHjqXiE/видео.html

Let me get a little better and I'll try to give some tips :)

Was it good fun?

Only the blue lit button on the right does anything (boost button give some extra acceleration for overtaking - takes 30s to recharge after pressing it I believe). The black circles are prob just placeholders for buttons.

@@russdriving thanks mate

@@russdriving how much is a session for go karting in this specific one

@@muizHDwent earlier £44 for two sessions but if you ask for a free one at the end because of all the red flags and stuff you'll probably get one

@@ollie_man ok thanks

46.053 in the 3 sessions I did this day - ruclips.net/video/czkRe--OBVY/видео.html (other video on my channel if you want to have a watch) But this was the second day since Farnborough refurbed with the new track and karts and it was really slippery as not much rubber had been put down in places. Going back next week and will be aiming for a 45 lap.

@@russdriving Wow that's really good. I went on the 16th in the morning, wow was it slippery. Especially compared to the old track! I really struggled, only being able to manage a 49. I was really surprised when I got that time since around every corner I couldn't keep the back end under control. Thanks for video it will help alot next time I go

@@benobwon229 Morning session would have been even worse! We were in a good group here so not many yellow flags and went straight out after another session so track was as good as it could have been, but I was still just wrestling the back end the whole time. Eventually I started to try a slower turn in to get more speed on exit apart from the hair pins where a stab of brake to rotate the kart helped. Already people are getting 43s laps this week, so I think its gripped up a bit. I'm going again on Monday 28th so will see if it's any better!

@@benobwon229 managed a 43.092 yesterday, they have more tape down so way less slippery - ruclips.net/video/rRsMfEVK37I/видео.html

Haha yea, first time in karts with 'boost' so forgot all about it until about 3/4 into this session. This was also the second day since Farnborough refurbed with the new track and karts and its was crazy slippery downstairs so took me a while to find a rhythm. I ended up using boost consistently in later sessions after the 'S' turns upstairs (1:15) and it seemed to set up nicely for the fast 2nd to last turn. Will experiment a bit in future sessions when it's also hopefully slightly grippier!

@@russdriving Seems like a really good strategy, Im pretty sure the second to last corner is about the only place with enough grip at the moment. Let's hope it rubbers in quickly! What do you think about the new karts?

@@benobwon229 Yea definitely, I was managing to keep it flat round that turn, no lift at all if you get a good entry. Yea I like them, good torque low down so it's a nice steady acceleration... boost button adds a lot too, looking forward to trying it in some races as overtaking was so hard in the old karts with the old track layout. They are super unforgiving if you hit the throttle while still on the brake at all though, aggressively cuts power. Not that you should ever do that ;) just noticed how quickly it cuts power.

Have been karting a lot here the last few weeks, the bottom part of the track is starting to wear in nicely now, its better at end of day though. Ive been experimenting with when to hit the boost, I found if you hit on the down ramp its effective but you gotta nail the turn at the bottom, or if you hit it at the start of the straight upstairs it can carry you through into the down ramp (which for me set my best lap time). Fun track though and nice karts
