    I worked at K1 Speed for a few months. Here's how things really work. There's 4 speeds, 4 being the fastest. Only regulars are put on speed four (35-45mph). Anybody that comes for their first time or maybe once or twice a year is put on speed 3. Kids are put on speed 1, if they seem like they can handle it, they're put on speed three. I've seen adults, GROWN men and women SO bad at driving, with zero concept of cornering, slowing down into corners, speeding up on exits, we had to put them onto speed 2. All the karts have identical batteries, tires, charges, etc. We test every cart every day in a shop in the back to make sure nobody can claim "your kart was faster than mine."

    I feel like K1 need to make more tracks that encourages overtaking (at least 2). If you look at the Atlanta location, that's a good track for overtaking. one into turn 1, another into turn 6, turn 10, and turn 12. Maybe into turn 8 and 9 but it usually ends in a crash.

      Agreed. Those two super tight turns, the driver was definitely faster than the 22 and two drivers in front of him. There were a few times he had an inside run on the 22. Problem is, most refuse to let the faster driver have the position. This dude could’ve easily grabbed two more positions if the 22 moved out of the way, or at least not cut the man off as he’s diving into the corner.

    Indoor Karting is a ton of fun, but I would say if you live near an outdoor track, those can be even more challenging and fun. I’ve been to K1 Austin a few times and P2R once in OKC (a month before it shut down for good ☹️) and I can officially say my favorite time for karting was neither. I went to COTA this past December and went karting there. Very similar prices (COTA is a tad more expensive, but makes up for it with the speed and the track). Both are fun and great options to get behind the wheel, but if you get the chance, and have a little more dough, try some outdoor, it’s a ton of fun!

    Great driving man, I don’t know if I’m in the position to say this, but for some tighter corners I recommend a more “ideal” racing line. ie. late apex, it allows for a better setup for the next corner.

    really good driving, there are a few little spots I think you could edge out another tenth or two, on the start-finish straight be sure you're using the whole track, turns 1-4 your spot on, on turn five you're cheating in early, stay against that wall for another split second and that will have you better setup for the 2nd hairpin, then after the hairpin, from when you turn back left for 9 I wouldn't even apex ten, just focus on turning 9 into the finish straight, so hit the apex on 9, miss the 10 apex by about a foot and a half and really let the car wind out to the wall, because there isn't a corner after ten we can really manipulate the apex, and only use as much steer angle as we absolutely need, or, depending on if the kart pulls really hard in a straight it might be good to cut in hard and make the straight another 5 feet longer, but judging from the video these karts seem very strong on that corner so I would go with the miss the apex approach.

    That's the thing about these indoor tracks, the lack of total space forces constraints on the limited track space which makes for constant hairpin turns where overtaking is greatly increased in difficult outside of the exceptions when there's contact usually leading to some kind of a crash or hinderance on the flow of the traffic. It ends up making really bogged down and difficult tracks that are nearly impossible to escape from as you have such little time to strategize and attack a position that isn't another hairpin turn.

    I’ve driven K1 quiet a few times and lap people on a regular. What he needs to do is hold more speed in the turns. The tires on these carts are sticky so hold as much speed as possible through the turns. If your cart tires aren’t squeaking you’re usually going to slow. Also, since these cart don’t have power steering having good forearm strength helps a ton. Most drivers have to use their breaks way to often since they don’t have the strength to hold turns with speed. Take advantage. GL.

      They really just warn with signs. I suppose if a pass was grievous they would have the power to nullify your position.
