Hope this helps you guys! Sorry about the flickering throughout the video - had a couple of issues with the render! :(
Bro where are the stickers for your lego Ferrari???
@@NJNANATE hahaha, I never put the stickers on 😂
Great attention to detail Matt, except you missed the fastest line into the pit lane
Thanks mate - Hahaha! Now that is key, can't believe I overlooked that 🤣 I'll take the feedback on board for the next vid
Great video Matt, It’s always good to sacrifice a corner for a long straight or certain complex of corners
Thanks Howsh!
Your channels growing mate keep up these helpful videos 👍🏻
Thanks man! I'll definitely do my best! If you have any questions, or requests for videos, let me know!
Cart wait for our comparison pal. Looking forward to it. Shame I don’t have my 51.3 footage anymore
Amazing content bro
Thanks! Hope it helps :) 🙌
Thanks for the tips. I'm looking at how to improve my time at Teamsport Nottm. I use what I thought were correct lines for hitting the apex but never realised how much the steering input makes a difference. Thought my steering was good and correct but I think I'm turning in later as with your mate 'Lewis' but I do think on reflection I could improve by tying in earlier.
No problem, I hope the video helps :)
I find that the main thing is just trying to get all steering done by the apex of the corner, so when you exit, all you’re doing is straightening up :)
Good video - could have done with footwork explanation too, which is just as important as the steering aswell.... I'm a newbie to Karting, and these videos are helping me to try different things
Thank you Nico. I also have a Track Guide of this circuit, breaking down every corner, and an in depth track guide of the Hull Karting outdoor circuit on the channel too which mentions reference points and braking points etc :)
Thanks for the videos. I noticed a few people asking about when you brake/lift off. I've been a couple of times and am yet to get below 26s so I suspect I'm braking too much. Any videos that go into more detail would be great.
Hey Jon, That's no problem, glad you find them helpful.
Apologies for not covering the footwork - this was one of my first guides. This track is quite fast and really only need to brake in one or two areas.
Turn 2 (first hairpin - top ramp) - you could try just tapping the brakes to almost lock the rear end slightly as you turn to see if it helps the rotation, but I don't think this is needed. You can lift and coast around here. Alternatively, slight pressure on the brakes and trail-brake it into the apex.
Turn 4 (bottom ramp) - I like to slam the brakes here - a short, hard stab as you turn to get more rotation in the rear and when you get to the apex, your kart should be pointing at the spectator area, or slightly even more rotated.
Turn 6 (bottom hairpin near marshal box) - Again, you could just lift/coast this one, but again, just a short stab on the brakes to get rear rotation.
I'd potentially try doing all the corners by just lifting/coasting so you get an idea of how much speed you can carry round, then if it's overdriving the kart, then just start adding a little bit of braking in.
@@MattWildbore brilliant thanks. I do like the idea of trying no brakes at all to see what a difference it makes in the corners! I would never have guessed that all corners could be approached that way.
@@jonmarriott8545 Definitely - I would use your 15 min sessions to try something different, come off track, check times and see if it worked or not.
I've not been to the track in a while, but pretty sure I ended up coasting most of the corners and just modulating the speed with slight braking through the corner and have a 23.7 now I think
Great information regarding kart placement and corner lines. Just out of interest though? Who weighs the most between you and Lewis ?
Hi Andrew, sure, probably something I should have mentioned in the vid! Louis is roughly 8-10kg heavier. Other videos have done some tests and in these karts, 10kg is roughly 0.1 difference :)
How often do you go karting? Great video
Thank you - I go roughly 2-3 times a week now :)
Quick question…
Do you touch the brakes down the ramp to the hairpin? Or do you get a front end scrub to slow down?
Hey Adam - I use to hit the brakes quite hard to lock up the rear to slide it in as you go down the ramp, but now, I just lift off and swing it in as hard as you can and the bottom of the ramp will modulate the speed for you anyway. Hope that helps :)
@@MattWildbore oh nice! As I come round the left hander at the top of the ramp I always start thinking about how I’m going to take that turn but it comes to fast and I’m always making a mess of it. I’ll try that next time. Cheers dude
@@adamscruton4474 Yeah, it definitley comes up fast. A good reference point is the second metal pole away from the Apex. The Apex has a bin bag looking thing around the barrier, so use the 2nd pole away from that as your turn in point. I'd say it's like 60%-70% of the way down the ramp, so definitely an early turn in.
So how much die Lewis improve after this? Maybe do a new vid with his old/new time :) Thx for this one, I'm 43 years old and go rental karting regurarly. I'm was just outside top 100 at our track. Being 1 sec behind track record (35 sec ish). I have been running this track for 5 months. Improved 0.3 sec in just 2 sessions and now just outside top 50. thx to this.
Hi Benny, glad you enjoyed it. Louis now has a 24.3 I believe, so around 7 tenths improvement :)
That’s great to hear, thanks, and that’s a great improvement! Which parts do you feel helped you improve the most?
@@MattWildbore Most definitely the sliding. I always assumed sliding was losing time, so I used the brake a lot. But this vid made me realize turning the wheel loses time, not the sliding. So there is a big difference between drifting and sliding, as you explain. The track has changed now, so a new challenge awaits. I always felt that I was on my limit, now I feel like I can still improve. I hope to be within 0.5sec of track record. 🙂Thx again!
@@DSBenny Awesome - it's definitely a fine balance. The indoor tracks with the slippier surfaces can benefit from the sliding, however, on a proper tarmac/outdoor track, smoothness and less sliding would be better as there's more grip.
Ah nice, what's your local track?
@@MattWildbore I think youtube keeps deleting my reply. So one more time without the link. It's Extreme Kart in Herselt, Belgium. Thx for taking the time to reply.
@@DSBenny Awesome! Thanks for watching :)
Wet track guide on Wednesday do you reckon!?
If I can get some clean lap footage and I can definitely try!… or might actually be able to do it from tonight’s footage :)
@@MattWildbore Yeah you seemed to know what you were doing out there
@@jacklister962 Learnt from following the best 👊
@@MattWildbore Haha me and Tyler will have our work cut out this week
@@jacklister962 It’s going to be an interesting race if it stays wet! Looking forward to it
Do you have a preferred kart?
Also are you breaking in corners or just lifting off and turning in? I tend to do a sharp brake but I’m struggling to get better then 24.7
Hey Andrew - Karts 7, 8, 9, 10 are all good. The lap record has been set in 8 and a lot in kart 9
@@andrewterry4666 Always experimenting really. I tend to coast in now and modulate the speed with the brake on the apex (sounds counter intuitive but works around there). A lot of it is commitment to flick it in on initial entry then try and straighten out as much as possible after the apex :)
Yours is just on 1.25x speed 😅
😳 How did you know! I'm sorry, I'm a fraud 🤣
