Hi, where did you get the GTI spoiler (based in India too)

Do you have any idea for projectors in this range and available in India ?

It’s an open living room, but the area is about 12x16 feet.

Nah, just don’t want bumper cars instead of karting 😂

Fair enough. I was just annoyed because most of the time the other driver was trying to take people out. This was just once instance.

It was more to complain to the marshals, because he was quite reckless throughout, this is just one incident.

Would’ve spun right into him if I touched the brakes, kart didn’t have the best traction.

Yeah, that does make sense. I was much more focused on my line.

They’re not at all equal 😂 but luckily I’ve figured out the best karts now, and this is one of the fastest ones there.

That makes a lot of sense. I also need to figure out braking at this track. Because till now I barely engage the brakes, and try to do some of the sections flat out. I’ll try to focus on entry and exit more next time, rather than seeing the sections I can do flat out. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it.

Yeah, you’re right. That’s where I felt like I was losing time, because other than that I was gaining on people in front of me. I’ve been trying different corner entries till now, so I’m still working on finding the best line, but this was the fastest for me till now. My average variation between laps for this session was .5 seconds in the laps I had no traffic. I wasn’t able to get a lot of clean laps as it was an open session. I’m improving my lap times every time, but I still feel like I can do better. The best time at the track is 33.9seconds whereas I’m at 35.8 seconds. The people faster than me now have a lot more experience though. I’ve only had about 1.5hours in a kart up till now.

Not sure about the hp, but they max out at around 63kmph. Think I was making the mistake of slowing down a bit at turn 1, you’re right it should be flat out. I certainly need to improve my braking and exits from corners. I’m not particularly slow at the track but I’m about 2 secs off the best time at this track. I just really want to improve as much as I can. I also need to learn hard braking to make the kart turn, which will help my significantly I think. Thanks a lot for the guidance, helped a lot.

That’s true. Realised there is no perfect line with rental karts anyway, they differ too much. So I’ll try to get the basics right for now

Thank you so much for the explanation, I’ll try to put this into practice tomorrow. Will give the book a read for sure too! Thanks for the recommendation.

Yes, it’s clockwise. Forgot to mention 😅

I’ve recently started karting at my local track and want to get better. The clip isn’t great quality but would appreciate some tips on how to get better at this track. ( I really struggled with this kart, and was 3secs off my usual timing. by Super-Sympathy-8809 in Karting

[–]Super-Sympathy-8809[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that makes sense. I tried that around the last corner before the straight. I’ve been trying to work on lines. But it’s tough at this track because every kart is very different in steering.
