@@billybonds571 This being only his 3rd outdoor session he's doing really well, he's mixing it with atleast 5 juniors who competed in last years championships. Outdoorvkarting is completely different to indoor but he's making the transition with ease. This race was on Sunday, on Monday night he was back on track indoors at Teamsport Birmingham and he said after his first race that he had to get used of indoors again....he almost set a new PB on race 3, so he adapted back with ease too 😁
Watching this, if oscar can improving his driving in a cold kart (first few laps) then he will be miles better off then the rest, from watching this. If he can be disciplined on the first cold laps and enter corners slower, then he will come out of them better and gain time. It's easier said then done because, the mental to see your opponents going faster then you (you will see a gap build when you enter slower into a corner and they are driving like they are 10mins into a race) but as soon as you hit mid corner and exit you will be gaining loads whilst they loose rear grip or understeer into corners. If he can nail the consistency too then he will definitely win this championship! The 3 place penalty definitely seems harsh but I'm unsure of inkart ruling. It was definitely ABC, Advantage by Contact but I can't imagine it's 3 places worth, as I said depends what daytonas abc penalties are. He hit the rear 50% of the other kart hense he was put into a spin. What was the +1 penalty for I either skipped passed it or blind.
@@billybonds571 Oscar completed the practice then heats 1 & 2 in kart #58. It was the same in both race schools, he was assigned the same kart for the day. But the winner of the B final, which took place before the A final was using kart #58 and he was told to stay seated in it as the 5 who qualified for the A final came out to get in their karts meaning Oscar had to change karts for the final. As Oscar got into kart #50 I looked at the results of the B final to see how that kart faired....there were 6 juniors and 6 cadets in the B final, the cadet karts are around 5 seconds per lap slower, yet 5 of those 6 cadets had overtaken the junior in kart #50. But it was too late to appeal, Oscar was positioned on track when I realised and you'll hear me talking about this on camera as Oscar sat there in his grid position totally unaware. I just kept my fingers crossed and as soon as the race started the boy in kart #58 just drove past Oscar like he was sat still. Half a lap later Oscar was last with a gap starting to appear in front of him and again you'll hear me on my personal track side footage going on about it. But then Oscar started gaining on P5, got the overtake done and targetted P4... He really did race a brilliant race and although we believe he would have been around 0.7 sec a lap faster in kart #58 he still made it a brilliant battle for a spot on the podium. We just want to get going now on round 2, it can't come soon enough.
Well done Oscar. Keep on being you 🔥🔥🔥
Looks likes his learning his craft well, keep up the consistency. 👍

he drove the first two races with the same cart? then they changed it?.. I say that was rigged, knowing the cart and it was not up to scratch.
