I actually have a friend who is quite good at karting, but he never apexes or anything, so I feel confident when racing him knowing that I have a faster line around the track. He just goes full throttle and misses the apex. Another great video. Good job. P.S tip number 1 (the tyre tip) is just straight to up evil 😂
@@salti4647 Good to know! I'm sure you can beat him if you apex at the turns and brake at the right points. Btw alot of drivers in top levels of Motorsport use similar psychological techniques 🤣
@@kartingtips I found that the instructors / crew are all great at driving. Ask them for a picture of track with racing line… slip them a £10.. ask them for the fastest Kart.. slip another £10 ….Job done
I watch most of ur videos, really helpful since im a beginner in karting, got to test all the tips u teaching by end of this month. Im entering my 1st championship race. Tq so much for all the tips 👍👍👍
one tip i have learnt is that if you are racing against your mates you are most likely using a slow, low powered rental kart with no gears and if you slide into the corner you are usually losing a lot of RPM and you sort of need to keep a high RPM to power out fast out of the corner hopes this helps a few lads and lasses :))
Thanks to your tops I finished second and it was only my 3rd time I do karting. I succeed some overtaking but for thé last lap I dis one toi much and my kart finished under thé wall of wheels 🤣🤣
Thanks for the tips man! I finally defeated my friends and drove a 36.734! (Yesterday I did a 37.924!) I really improved my racing line and braking points.. braking much deeper than before.
1. if you slide with rental karts you are losing time every time 2. tap the throttle when it is possible so you dont kill the rpms on the single geared rental kart
I haven't lost a race to a friend yet, but I'm still not as fast as I can be. I did learn a bit from this video. Thanks, I'll apply it to my technique and see how it turns out.
@@kartingtips well i was first for the majority of the race but got excited on the last lap and ended up in third, but the tips definitely worked, thanks for the great video.
I find in rental karts at local fun tracks the karts seem under powered...what has worked for me is not let off the gas and just run the race with feathering the brake throughout without ever releasing the gas pedal....i use the first lap maybe 2 to get the feel and see the lines and then go all out the rest of the way never letting off the gas....
My brother is better than me sometimes but I do good most of the time jk. I just sometimes steer too much. Can u help me beat him?? I brake hard sometimes too. The first time i was going go kart, for like 2 to 3 weeks before i was just watching karting tips. Now I go every month and try to improve my braking point. So plz help me, I want to destroy my brother.
Good short summary, one thing I would like you to clarify. You said that the braking "force" depends on the sharpness of the corner. But at the track I go there is one very fast bend after the main straight. Now should I brake hard (not locking up) immediately before the bend, or brake softer and more progressively to turn in?
It will affect your speed and lap time slightly. As pointed out in the 'Great Weight Debate' video, with less weight you can experience more juddering. To counter the juddering you will have to change your racing line slightly through those corners.
Did you beat your friend in the go kart race?

sadly no, my friend is just too fast on the track...

Last weekend I won my first race straight from pole position to first place, thank you for your tips

Hey ISF , this could save lifes , AND this would be / is great and real sportsmanship . Where are the gentlemandrivers today - ???

Great summary of key strategies. Keep up the good work👏

I needed this video, my dad said that he would get me a go kart if I beat him at a rental place
Did you beat him
Did you win
Yes! Another upload!
IT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORKS
Cool video, please keep making these.
I have a race in a few hours, imma come back to this video after the race and hopefully be victorious.
Let me know how it goes! Don't forget to use psychological techniques 😉

Most of the places its forbidden to use the gas and the brake at the same time
Flood the engine with revs?

Brake slightly earlier and then hit the throttle earlier to maximise the exit
sometimes when turning my kart starts hopping, does it affect speed? How can I avoid that?
