Gold absolute Gold take my sub and you are one good story teller you had me for all 16 and a bit minutes Edit: Im a Teamsports Nottingham memeber, but i came to Stoke for the BSKC regional final, and i swear someone power washes that bottem foor daily
Nice video, very funny. Me and my mate were the ones you talked to in the changing room. Thst guy on reception was very rude and we complained on the feedback form but im not sure anything will be done about it! My mate in the red suit white helmet had never been to that track before and that was my 2nd time (guy in purple) and it just feels so slow!
The Crawley track (on the ground floor) used to lack grip like that until they applied some kind of substance which gripped it up but to be honest I liked the lack of grip as it rewarded consistency and experience.
Hey, had a look at your videos, and I can say I enjoy watching them, something fresh & new to see, 100% going to sub to you and can’t wait for the next one. Keep up the awesome work. 😁👍
This is a track I’ve not been to yet, and based on your review may not be one I want to go to unless I want to waste my money and give myself unnecessary stress - but then those are grounds for good content so… 🤷🏻♂️ Great video - keep it up!
Too true about the pinnacle of karting being 4 miles away. Fastlane is ace! Had loads of fun there as a teen when they had their place at Clough Street, and had a couple of races at King Street. Making you buy a membership to get on track quicker? There's only a few of you so why could he not go through a quick brief? Its not like he's trying to safety brief 90 lads and lasses at a motorbike trackday when theyre all on their phones and dicking about. Its easy enough - flags mean this, don't hit each other, on your way. And just because you have a membership, doesn't mean you don't automatically need the briefing, that just sounds like a dodge. I suspect your kart number may also have been a jinx ;)
I'm glad team-sport Leicester where I went to a month or so ago had actual petrol engine karts, and not electric, which means it was actually fast(ish). still was somehow also more slippery than the karting I did outdoors a couple weeks prior which was on a wet track!
@@TheJelf10I'm guessing that gloves are a requirement for the petrol karts because some idiot is going to put his hand right on the exhaust when attempting to get out of the kart and burn his hand to absolute shit. They want to minimise the burn damage,
Stoke now has got to be one off the worst tracks I’ve raced at, first time there done 37.7 speed 3 got membership done a race a year later on speed 4 and got a 47.1, 10 second difference… make that make sense staff claimed it was because it was cold outside 😂 but it’s not the track surface is basically made from ice but you should try Manchester Victoria I’m currently 4th fastest ever and 2nd this year on public sessions
Sadly mate the staff is right. During the summer the speed 4 times go down to 32/33s it’s just how badly the track was made with the wrong concrete it’s a shame.
@@SpeedyRank fair enough I just found it odd because I’ve raced a few tracks when it’s been hot outside and cold outside and I’ve never had a 10 second difference in track time
@@Lewisf9393 that is why Stoke is one if not the worst tracks in the UK, second reason is they could care less about the members but thats another story xd
Oh yeah I’ve been to a few tracks where the staff either don’t care or they show more leniency to their regular members but at Victoria the staff there are honestly incredible
I have a chin mount fastened to my helmet. It's easily removable, and if you put the camera on right, it's a great angle. Only issue is some karting venues don't allow chin mounts for some reason.
team sport always has been and always will be the shittest form of go karting, if you enjoy it id look for some outside tracks or if you got a budget, go and purchase a kart with a Rotax Engine, so much more fun to drive
I've been to Midland Karting a handful of times, I do plan to go there again soon, as well as finally going to Daytona Tamworth to drive some way, way faster karts. As for owning my own... who knows, maybe one day.
1. Why are every indoor track in the UK at lest partially made out of plywood ? 2. That’s not a track surface, that’s a miroir! No wonder you were sliding 24/7 Nice video BDW !
Plywood is used as its cheap and once rubbered in can provide good grip. Due to cost etc its not feasible to do upstairs bits in concrete/asphalt. And the downstairs was done with the wrong concrete when the track was done, tbf during summer its actually good but winter its an ice rink. But I tell you this it prepares you very well for wet weather racing xd
The no traction flooring seems to be a running theme in a lot of teamsport tracks. Brighton is the only one off the top of my head that has none of it. It is absolutely HORRIBLE. Too anone who has never raced on it, i strongly advise too scream as much as possible. For no REason. Once I stepped on the gasd and immediatly spun out.. AT 6 MILES AN HOUR. HOW BAD OF A SURFACE I AM LITERRALY SO ANNOYED AT WHOEVER DECIDED THAT WAS A GOOD SURFACE FOR RACING
I once slid sideways at decent speed into someone at a rental kart place somewhere near Sheffield, because they red flagged it and I wasn't paying attention. The stewards just laughed. The fact you got black flagged for that in comparison is a fucking joke.
From what I've seen in videos and from what my friends have told me, TeamSport marshalling can be a volatile thing. You'll either get away with murder or be black flagged for something barely even worth the warning flag. It's a gamble for sure 😅
feel like this is all the electric teamsports, ive really tried to like the electric karts but they are only any fun on the members only nights in power level 4, i still much prefer the petrol ones, plus the downstairs grip on every teamsport is questionable, if u want something worse than this come to teamsport reading and you will see 💀
This is absolutely gold. I've never laughed so much at a karting video. The subtitles on the woman had me in tears 🤣🤣
What does the woman say?
"this lap was great i hit every apex" continues to miss the first apex hecomes up to
I'm something of an unreliable narrator myself
Gold absolute Gold take my sub and you are one good story teller you had me for all 16 and a bit minutes

Sick video man, got some fair points and criticisms. Would love to see the downstairs part of the track redone to have actual traction!
Big love, bro, pretty proud how this one turned out all things considered
you should try Team Sport Nottingham, its a short track but has the best corners for overtaking and DIVEBOMBSSSS plus they've just got faster cars
Oh my god. It's like the whole race is under yellow...
Indoor track in my city doesn’t heat the building up so it’s ice cold and even if you warm up the tires you just drift around deathtrap💀
master drivers will make a difference
Underrated as hell 😂

How come some don't have gloves on. Thought that was a basic requirement??
Place looks awful
That is... a fantastic question. I didn't even notice that...
It doesn't seem to be a requirement at some of the tracks with electric karts. Manchester is the same
@@bengildea1379 it's strange that it was with the petrol though

@@h0welss good point 👍🏻
Great video I think I will give this place a miss
14:13 horrible move
you should come up to Glasgow and try out ts cambuslang and Clyde bankl. Clyde bank has the same karts but are not knee kapted

please do brighton teamsport which is basicly worthing/lancing
Is the polyed plywood? For a track?!
Jesus
I've never seen such little grip on an indoor kart track
Your channel has a very bright future. Keep up the great work 👍
If it looks slow on a go pro....u know its SLOW irl.....
How do you attach your camera to your helmet, i personally don't want to stick a go pro mount on mine so im just wondering how you do it?
I have a chin mount fastened to my helmet. It's easily removable, and if you put the camera on right, it's a great angle. Only issue is some karting venues don't allow chin mounts for some reason.
@@PericoKarting thanks alot
i did a video on my first session there it was ok
Ur steering wrong keep ur hands at 4 and 8
Thinking about trying 6 and 11 for my next race
You need to use the brakes to turn not the wheel
Doesnt this only apply to very sharp corners
thanks so much for sharing

Nice video BDW !
I think the plywood thing is mainly Teamsport tracks, to be honest. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Plywood is used as its cheap and once rubbered in can provide good grip. Due to cost etc its not feasible to do upstairs bits in concrete/asphalt.
And the downstairs was done with the wrong concrete when the track was done, tbf during summer its actually good but winter its an ice rink. But I tell you this it prepares you very well for wet weather racing xd

Too anone who has never raced on it, i strongly advise too scream as much as possible. For no REason. Once I stepped on the gasd and immediatly spun out.. AT 6 MILES AN HOUR. HOW BAD OF A SURFACE I AM LITERRALY SO ANNOYED AT WHOEVER DECIDED THAT WAS A GOOD SURFACE FOR RACING
I love the cat music if a new session starts🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I once slid sideways at decent speed into someone at a rental kart place somewhere near Sheffield, because they red flagged it and I wasn't paying attention.

The fact you got black flagged for that in comparison is a fucking joke.
From what I've seen in videos and from what my friends have told me, TeamSport marshalling can be a volatile thing. You'll either get away with murder or be black flagged for something barely even worth the warning flag. It's a gamble for sure 😅
those subtitles were personal😭 9:00
why are racing suits required?
I’ve stopped going for the same reason😢
feel like this is all the electric teamsports, ive really tried to like the electric karts but they are only any fun on the members only nights in power level 4, i still much prefer the petrol ones, plus the downstairs grip on every teamsport is questionable, if u want something worse than this come to teamsport reading and you will see 💀
