- Fast lap tutorial video for K1 Speed Cambridge.
let me know any questions or comments you have. and please let me know if my tips helped you at all. what's your best laptime here?
It looks grippier than I expected.
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 :)
I was always spinning out at the hairpin
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!
Great video as always. How much more time do you think there is to find?
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.
when I go down the hill into the tight hairpin I usually don't get enough rotation or get too much and spin right before the apex. Are you jabbing the brake or just squeezing it?
also last time i went there the top time was an 18.2!
just squeeze the brake, be patient waiting for the rotation. Times are getting faster and faster!
If you know the K1 Junior karts, does breaking or leaning to shift weight matter, or is it all about the line? Im always looking for minor adjustments to the line and speed at the San Francisco track, to cut 0.2 seconds for the record.
Is there a clear formula for the line, speed and breaking when you look at a picture of a track or do you have to drive it? For the K1 California State Championship, they ran the track in reverse, so there was no practice time.
Thanks again for the videos and instruction!
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!
What weight range are you in? I’m finding these electric carts punish people over 200lbs.
@@evilthorne 150lbs. these karts definitely don't have the torque for heavier weights.
@@dawsoncampbell I won’t lie, I was hoping you were going to say over 200lbs so I knew the problem was with me. We went before and one of us is on the bigger side. They ended up increasing his cars power so he could get up the bridge. But we would hit the bridge at the same time and he would pull away from me going up it.
interesting that they put you in different speeds
What’s your favourite f1 facility in the gta? 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.
Do you only brake on the first hairpin after the ramp? For turn 2, are you full throttle or do you let off to let the kart rotate? Also, for turn 3, do you recommend hitting the apex or no? I saw another vid where you did hit the turn 3 apex.
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!
Are the races still only 12 laps?
yes:(
is a 20 flat decent for my first time in Electric karts?
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! :)
