So i found the camera and it turns out that SuperGT wasn't lying, there is in fact footage of an asteroid hitting the race track and Steve overtaking 14 karts. It's hard to tell but the lap was pretty rapid for the world record attempt, maybe 6 seconds faster or something.....
Sad thing is you only see the asteroid in the sky as the camera tilted up
was there in fact inconvenient landing of thor's hammer that impacted this race?
Mate I heard it was a meteoroid, not an asteroid. So all lies and false propaganda 🤣
I concur….
He still finished 6xfth
You're a much better driver than you give yourself credit for. a little bit on weight, a little bit on power and you'd be right there.
Keep it up mate these vids are awesome for karting!
Yeah 100 percent. Every 2kg over the weight in karting is worth a tenth. He's doing awesome considering he is running over the weight, and has only been racing the x30 for 2 months! 😎
If you are 8kg over the weight limit then on typical longish tracks ca. 50s then you'll be losing 0.4s when you are piloting an X30 or similar. In reality you only have to find 0.3s which is very little considering it was your first time at that track
@@raynercostellokarting9982 2kg is no where near a tenth
@@CaptJofaz If 20kg is worth a second, explain why 2kg isn't a tenth, We've done alot of weight testing out different tracks to work it out, but if you can show me otherwise, go ahead
depends on the track, kart, and driver
Driver Coaching is one of the most effective way of increasing your skills on track, with this mindset you’ll get far Steve
I’m loving these karting videos! 44 minutes 23 seconds of heaven
Loved this long format. Multi car, track walk footage approach.
Seriously was like a full studio effort esque coverage. Hell better than most. Hope my comment pleases the algorithm.
Fuckin love the driest of humor A+
What a shame we couldnt see him overtake 14 cars in 1 corner and beat the world record lap by 8 second.....what a shame
Or the meteor
@@R3RS2024 fuck the meteor
I was there i can confirm it happened
Caden: "It's all about the fitness."
Steve: *covers up bicep from camera*
You noticed that too. I figured it was shaking abit from being fatigued from all the racing lol
For anyone who hasn’t driven an x30 or rotax - please appreciate how difficult it is to drive smoothly! It’s like having someone who is 50% stronger than you randomly yanking at the steering wheel round each corner whilst someone hits you in the ribs with a lump of wood. The top drivers make it look so easy - reality is much different!
I know 😂😂 and it shatteres your hands because of no power steering
And same with the Rok Gp as well….
As an x30 driver, I can confirm
How do they compare to the crg centurion that larkhall uses for the public rental sessions? I know they are 2-4 seconds faster from lap times but I mean from a driving perspective
@@caledonianrailway1233 2-4 seconds per lap between a rental and race kart? are you sure?
The only time I'll watch a 45 min video on RUclips! Good stuff
24:23 best cameraman ever literally running with you to get the perfect shot 😂
One way to shave a couple of kilos off is to drive naked
Another way is to chop off an arm
Only need one to steer 🤷♂️
Or cut off your left leg. Braking only slows you down.
@@alextaillefer1792 Hell just take off the braking system. If you don’t have a leg yo use it no point in having it
@@alextaillefer1792 get a prosthetic, weld it to the pedal and youre sorted
@@alextaillefer1792 put a nitrous on
Having personally been at the track, racing that day. I can confirm an asteroid did strike the track. Though Steve did not overtake 14 karts. He overtook 20.
I just love how we never know if he’s going to be racing karts or playing racing games. I love it!!
Around an hour of quality content. This is really good.
On every race I have watched, I listen to the commentary and only watch the steady degradation of the front left tire. Its a facinating and mesmerizing thing that captivates my entire vision.🏁
I felt the sarcastic energy 🙃 These videos are unbelievably well done ✔
"I ate like Lando Norris for a month, here's the results" title of next quadrant video
Jesus Christ Steve you've gotten extremely entertaining
This is Top Gear levels of fun
The camera in the first bit was about as good as the Monaco TV director
Let’s go Steve! Get in there mate.
I love that he had no problems sharing his data with you. That's sportsmanship right there.
When I am on the track (not driving) I always hear people talking about how practicing is the key to get fast.
And if you allow me a tip, it's not just about learning the perfect line, but about overdriving and "underdriving" the Kart. Knowing how the Kart is going to react in any situation.
This is how those guys can put clean inputs on their driving. They have done it all before and just by feeling the Kart under their butt they know exactly how much brake or steering is enough.
lewis hamilton was there as well but the footage is lost
He beat lando in a 1v1 in that same footage. Very unlikely I mean unlucky
😛
Great perspective into racing, steve struggling in brakes kinda like danny ric struggling on breaks. Basics are key. Great work Steve🔥
Keep at it mate, your better than you think.
X30’s aren’t as easy as it looks. I used to race hire kart clubs and was consistently in the top 5 drivers, thinking I was good I ended up buying a FA Alonso X30 expecting to be just as good.
I quickly ended up coming back down to reality when I got absolutely destroyed by almost everyone on the track 🤦♂️.
I never realised how hard it is and how there is so much more to it than just driving the kart.
Setup in particular.
Anyways good luck with it all and love your Chanel and humour 😂👍
I think we are all annoyed by not seeing the amazing new lap record and of course not seeing the Asteroid hit the track!
I think Steve is not given enough credit for the quality of these videos. Every time i watch them it feels special because it is just so well made.
Advise from another ex pro kart racer. The way I was told to learn to gain those 0.1-0.2 sec in each corner, was trying to be as late as possible on brakes in corners where I was losing that time. Do it on training sessions, with the intention to really push it. It doesn't matter if you spin out, you have to find that limit and be comfortable with it. Also, try to use more track width, go more to the outside before corners and cut apex hard (look how much track Kayden uses), the more you travel in a straight line the better. That will allow you to do less steering which you also lose around 0.1 in each corner as you have to correct a lot. Like the other guy said, you need more time behind the wheel. I bet all top 3 guys were on a training for few days before competition. I was on a track always week before the race :D
Omg that kid, Jacob. Such a cute moment! And the headphones on his cheeks 😂Adorable as hell love him!
Steve out here trying to be a kart driver when really he should be a runner :O Look at the jets on him! lol
Pretty good analyzation of what needs to be worked on. I can't speak on behalf of these X30 cars specifically, but in America (I think we use a style chassis, though I drove Birrel) it's important to have the kart as loose as possible without spinning out. You noticed how you are a lot more aggressive on the steering wheel and while yes that's true, you're specifically too aggressive with the wheel on entry. You want the back end to step out just enough from braking so you don't have to input any steering to make the entry, it allows you to gas it a little earlier on apex since your kart is rotated more towards the exit by the time you get to the apex (hopefully that makes sense). It's VERY VERY hard to nail those kind of karts though and kart time is so under rated. It looks easy, but its so hard to nail it every lap. You're doing an awesome job so far and seeing how critical and analytical you are, I'm sure you'll progress greatly as the year goes on and into next year.
I know the whole camera issue must've been super frustrating at the time but you did a great job adding a comedy spin to it. Always great content!
61 year old rookie in Rotax and I'm learning so much from your vids Steve. Thank you mate !
Keep pushing! You are improving every time I see you! Well done 👊
Quality driving all weekend mate!
Great job Steve. Keep those positive vibes flowing as you improve and get faster in this class. Keep your mental game strong and the rest will follow. Can't wait for the next race! 👍
Been re-watching all your old videos this last week. I think I might be getting slowly addicted to your voice 😂
Anyway, good to see you're doing well!
Please never stop uploading, I love watching these videos!
Great work dude, watching Caden is insane, his steering and car stability are amazing, must have arms of steel to keep the wheel so locked. But you are progressing and understanding what to do, now just need time. Awesome video! Great sky and foam cam too!
Love this series. Keep pounding out the miles and you WILL be fast. You got this!
Good job Steve, you are progressing well, as I've said a few times, you need time and laps, moving forward will come. This year is a learning year for you, tracks, karts, tyres, engines and the way of the X30 series. Come 2022 you will be in a better place for results. Keep working with Ryan, his stuff is good. Keep up the development.
Good to see these long videos! Very good to watch and you are very inspiring :)
the shortest 40 minute videos on RUclips.
3:18 Can we talk about how cool this kid is?
Blue sky and sun in Scotland! No wonder the camera wanted to look at the sky 😀
3:50 the way he said that is crazy
"All of the people who were faster than me, i was slower than and i was faster than all of the people slower than me" XD
big brain words right there.
Also, i saw that through t4&5 they pulled away the most so that is probably where you are losing most of the time
Great vid btw
wait a second i just realised something. You said you overtook 14 karts in one corner and there are only 10 other people. You just got wrecked
Usually I dislike long YT videos, for wasting my time, but man this was full of insights and entertainment, honestly! Awesome work for putting this all together somehow :-)
I'd just like to add, that learning how to brake well in karts is like getting good with braking in your car, but only with the handbrake. XD
Mate youre doing incredible, I'm still building myself up to get out in club100, I would be like a rabbit in headlights in those karts, the world would literally fall out my arse I reckon
It’s definitely there Steve you are smooth on the steering which is what most people struggle with and you have a great backing 👍🏻
It's great you're working on your braking from pros. A while back Lando advised you how to brake better.
Caden making it
Been waiting bro love these!
These karting videos started as kind of just an interlude between your other video posts. Now Im being sucked in even more for your karting. Wonderful job M8!
@Super GT , Ur POV is better than the television camera... I seem to like the POV since I wanna drive formula 1
1:53 ou of context is just bliss
You need to stamp on the brake and release slightly as you turn in, gets the load on the front of the kart and helps you turn it.
Don’t think you brake hard release and do it again.
Do whatever suits you not what other people are doing.
Ryan norberg has a good video on this👍
Good work Steve getting better every time!
THese vidoes are so elite, buzzing when u upload them bro keep it up :)
I raced against Moulsdale once 5 years ago in the Spanish championship. I've never raced outside of Spain, except for once in Portugal, so nice coincidence for me seeing him here
You belong on a car show or something, this is way too funny 😂
Cool video with excellent perspective on how incredibly competitive karting is. It really comes down to athlete levels of fitness and strength to perform for even the 10 laps or so to control the kart how you want and know. Then getting into all the extra variables like center of gravity from bigger competitors not just weight and areo drag etc. Really difficult karting at top level so to be on there tails is a this level is epic
Not gonna lie when Seven makes even a giveaways anouncement funny. That is next level
I love these videos an what makes them in Steve's sarcasm it's just amazing 👏
More karting videos! New to motorsports and your vids really help thanks a lot
Stay strong, keep that good mindset and you will get far!
Love the karting videos!
Big ups from Botswana mate! Really awesome to see you've been able to reduce those steering inputs on that beastly X30. I wish you all the best with you improving on your braking. Perhaps also check out your racing lines compared to other drivers a little bit more, looks like you're not finding the straighter lines. I cannot begin to imagine what it must feel like to have to DRIVE that kart, it looks likes quite the beast to tame. Keep it up!!!
Peace
Shout out to McQueen for sharing his video and data. If you check my comment in your last video noting the same, the improvement to date is really good. Keep the spirit and we all out here watching.
Peace
YEEES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Well done Steve another great weekend, I'm really enjoying watching your progression, I managed to get an opportunity to drive a DD2 kart last week, they are an amazing bit of machinery 😁
love your videos mate - keep it up
If you want to reduce your weight, you can use a smaller fuel tank, carbon fibre floor tray and small brake disc if you haven't already. You could also ditch the mycrone for the race if you're brave enough and need the extra hundredth.
It looks like the kart bounces too much going through the corners. Obviously a smoother driving style would likely sort this out, although you could try going lower in the pressures, add negative caster, or soften the rear set up to help the kart exit the corner. Saying this, I expect DHR would have helped in this department already.
Highly recommend Terence Doves book on kart driving if you're interested.
Love the series, looking forward to gyg.
Keep the videos coming... love them, brilliant
Mate love watching your content! Bringing some attention to Karting. Most underrated Motorsport by far. Best bang for your buck in terms of competitive racing. Don't get why people always think it's a kids sport. 10 laps in a shifter Kart an most people are totally done. Greetings from Germany!
Energy on top in this vid❤️❤️
Tbh your karting vids are my fav ones
Bless Jacob, the shadow realm gatekeeper.
What a sweet kid!
Hello Super GT, great karting series, can't wait for the next one 👌
Your driving has become smoother
Just got into karting in the past few weeks, I liked the vids before but watch them with a bit more concentration now 👍🏻
You will get there Steve
12:05 striped tire
12:15 stripe gone
Well that escalated quickly

Disco's sobbing quietly in the corner 😂
Love the content as always Steve
keep these track walks PLEASE
Blessing my day super gt man
you make me laugh mate. love your channel. always watching,
Love these videos
Only time I've ever rooted for Steve to finish 6th! Good racing.
Aaaarh I was screaming throughout the whole video "GO NARROWER WITH THE FRONT WIDTH!" the videos compared between you and Caden really shows how wider you were. So sad you didn't find the "good" pace before the final. Better luck next time mate
Guess who's back ;)
Love it, Steve!
I don't normally do track walks, but after seeing this one I have clearly been missing out
Eight is the new Six. I’m enjoying your karting journey and I’m sure improvement is in your future.
Steve at 24:05 the guy there who is telling you lot off. His name is gorden and he used to be the clerk of the course and use to run my races in the UAE.
11:55 I'd aim for P Steve. That's 6th btw!
drinking game: Drink every time Steve says "learn a thing or 2"
Or touches his hair 🥴
You are mature, classy, a very good sport, humble and funny as heck. Enjoying both your pretend and IRL content, keep it up :)
We love you Steve ! Keep practising and you'll get there, no worries =)
Also, don't get stuck one that "should be Xth place" mentality, I don't see how it would bring anything else than taking unecessary risks to beat the guys you "should" in case they are in front and at the same time not risking enough to beat those you "shouldn't".
Also, don't forget you're not only a good driver, you're also maybe the best UK racing entertainer here on RUclips =)
Cheers.
I’ve always had a hard time understanding racing and how it works especially in games like Forza and Gran turismo. Thanks to your videos and how you explain things I have a much better understanding on things and it’s helped me get to the point where I’m not horrible at Forza and I have a chance online. Love the videos. Can’t wait for Forza horizon 5. Will you be picking it up?
1:52 so here we have an almighty sausage
