I'm a rental karting national vice champion who stopped racing for 2 years, i'm starting to race again and i realized that i've forgot a lot of things in the meanwhile. Your channel helped me regaining that lost "methodical" and correct racing style. Very usefull, keep up this insane work. thanks!
@@kartingtips after reading just a chapter I have already learned a big thing that I was messing up! I was always accelerating after the apex, but some feedback on what to improve in the book(I am not sure if you do this later in the book, + you do this on yt), is in chapter 2 maybe show the ideal racing line for corners like, hairpins, chicanes, etc… but the books so amazing so far, thank you for a wonderful learning resource that is free(unlike 99.99% of other courses)
Your comments comparing high power karts to rental karts are super useful also for teaching the youngest drivers in especially in bambino categories like comer c50 or MightE, where the torque just isn't there
Since I only race in rental karts, it is Threshold braking for me. On some tracks, where the hairpins turns are extremely slippery, is lock up my rear tyres whilst turning, to get a better rotation and exit speed.
@@kartingtips I just wanted a bit of help on turn 3 + 4 (the two hairpins) because I loose a lot of time there and if I get it right I could be at the top of the time sheets 🔥
What does this say about my driving style? I went to a track for the first time with work, to a track I had never seen or driven before. After the first session, I was the fastest by 1.5 seconds. In the second session, I was 1 second off the fastest time, but I had the most consistent and lowest average lap times. What do you think I did well, and what could I have done better?
My local track is Sutton circuit and the hairpin at the track is extremely tight, and usually accelerating before the apex doesn’t work for me, are there any different things you have to do to ace a very tight hairpin?

i'd love to hear about adaptive strategies, when you have an oversteery/understeery kart depending on the tires performance

I am a heavyset person and wondering if there are any additional tips around the hairpin as I am also seeing a slow exit from hairpin corners
What kind of shoes do you have?
Do you do curtain track help? If so have you ever been to bayford medows sittingbourne in the UK?
I visited Bayford Medows in summer of 2016! Good times and a great track.
What do you mean by curtain track help?

what technique I use? I just turn and turn out to be the fastest of the whole session xD

try a late turn in to the hairpin and hold the line wide on entry and brake a tiny bit earlier. u will find a couple secs in there for sure.
My rental car has 18 hp. What brake method should I use?
Experiment with trail braking and threshold braking to see which one gives you higher revs on exit
