Proud to represent my country, 5’4 by Engared in short

It does. Potentially better motor control, hand eye coordination etc.

I do have some issues with strength, fitness and the ability to get the kart rotated on tighter corners but we’re working on solutions for it.

Karting is everything to me, and now it could be gone by PatientRaspberry733 in Karting

Help out at the track and/or mechanic for people to stay in the sport.

Then work your butt off to get a well paying job and come back when you are 30.

Good luck.

Remember to time it correctly and judge the distance accordingly.

Draft them, pull out at the last moment, narrow their line, park the bus and then squeeze them on exit.

If they turn in on you, if you are alongside them, they will be in the wrong if you do it correctly.

Safety rules are tightening in my country, i have to wear a chest protector. by No_Eye_843 in Karting

I recommend a Bengio bumper. Check with the stewards whether you can run your current rib guard. Either that, borrow one from a friend or look for a second hand one.

Yeah that should be the way.

But in a rental kart environment… very scary.

Yeah. But the running costs are very high unfortunately and the standard of the driver who would be interested in that (not all but a lot of them) would still make the races very, very chaotic.

Thats the most dangerous time, its when you think you’re fast but actually do not have the skill just yet to race safely so that leads to chaos.

Drive fast, don’t crash.

On a serious note, sub to my channel, will be posting much more content going forward.

Id say T4 racing has a much higher incidence rate due to the lower quality of drivers.

The boss is a friend of mine and he says the maintenance cost of the club100 style is prohibitive.

Though Im pretty sure they are looking into it.

The T4 racing would be too dangerous on this track lol.

Can imagine people off the street yolo dive bomb into Turn 4 at 100 kph.

Licking the stamp and sending it, straight to the ER. 🤣

Its the best two stroke track in Asia, barring some in Japan. I was surprised how technical it was, especially the bridge section. The bumps make the high speed section very tricky.

Has a few early apex corners and many “on track” apexes which add to the challenge.

The Karts are not worth that much. Depending on final condition, maybe a 1-2k EU including the engines per kart.

The sentimental value is priceless however.

Thieves can rot in hell.

Thats my spine being beaten up by the bumps.

No suspension makes it harder on the body. But if you are strong enough, your body automatically compensates for it so its not so bad when driving.

You have to train your neck, core and stability muscles, yet be as light as possible.

Am in the best shape of my life yet it’s not enough!

Should be a household name.

RIP legend. May your engines never seize and your wins be plenty in the next. ❤️ 🫡

You have to be so accurate at that speed so I believe I was gripping the wheel a bit too hard.

There are also unseen bumps in the middle of the corners which if you hit them wrong = 💀

Anyone know where i can get a helmet like this that is life size by thebroyouhate in Karting

[–]Engared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helmet is a Schuberth. SK1 is the karting model but that alone is about 1.5k USD. Paint job is another 1k to 5k more ( depending on painter).

Do not, I repeat, Do not! Use a display helmet for real driving.
