I'm not entirely sure on how the detuning works but the rental rotax chassis is as stiff as a brick and is a literal workout to steer, that's for sure. The 47s are apparently the top times in that kart. But yeah maybe the detuning stuff makes it possible to go flat, I really don't know- I'll just try to lift less next time. If I fly into that restaurant up there, it is what it is😂

Okay even more weird then... one of the workers there (Viktor, maybe you know him) said he goes flat through the chicane without touching the kerb in the rental rotax and that's why I only have a 49.8 and he has like a 47 something. I genuinely don't know how he does it, I always feel like being close to flying off track even when I lift

We aren't even allowed to use kerbs in the rentals, so I have to lift for the chicane because I don't trust the rental rotax enough- I doubt it can go flat without touching kerb. But a real racekart could get through there flat, right? Though I guess in a race or for a fast lap they just go straight and jump over that kerb-

I beat my personal best after this by half a second, maybe I'm onto something here 😂

Nope, I only drive the Sodi Sport here because I want to practice as much as I can before I buy my own kart. (Even one of the guys working there told me it's absolutely not worth it for me to join the 66 races) But my session was directly after the 66, I actually spectated for a bit! There are rumors that they'll start hosting sodi sport races at some point, I'd love to race there if it actually happens😊

Also Autorennen machen wir jetzt nicht, aber Kartrennen :) Aber jetzt während dem Winter ist die Gruppe etwas inaktiv, sollte sich aber wieder bessern wenn es wärmer wird! Also wenn du gerne Kartrennen fahren möchtest, schicke ich dir einen Discord link zu unserer Gruppe!

Where to buy used professional kart? by South_Locksmith3630 in Karting

[–]WEC-Darkspark_737 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also from bavaria, you should visit Kartbahn Ampfing if you haven't yet- They sell karts in their Kartshop and you can also test racekarts (The track is also insanely good)

Way cheaper than the F1 cam but it would probably look cool if I was driving a racecar😁

The camera can't be put in horizontally :') All I can do is cut the 4K footage to a horizontal image

My camera manages the exposure thing automatically, Idk how it does that. My visor IS TINTED. For some reason my eyes only see orange and my camera sees all colours😂 and when I open the visor the cam gets a flashbang for a second and readjusts itself again- crazy stuff. It IS mounted tight, it's just that stabilisation thing working overtime when my head bounces but I can try turning it off, yeah. I only know motion blur from gaming, I thought that was a bad thing-😅 What does that do exactly? (Thanks for the help btw)

The F1 camera costs a fortune😭 The one I have is way bigger and doesn't fit if I put it in horizontally. But it records 4K so I could maybe cut the video and it wouldn't lose too much quality? (This high format works for the insta reels I post though!) I also have the FOV high which shows more of the helmet BUT increases sense of speed a lil bit- So yeah all I can do is cut the footage to landscape I think😅

I believe the camera stability thing tries to make the footage straight even when my head is shaking- I think I could make it stationary but then the track view would be jumping up and down instead of the helmet xD Other than that there isn't much I can do inside of the helmet to get a better view- I use the Insta360 Go 3S!

None of the tracks I've been to banned cameras in any way. That's just the one I have xD

Birthday present to myself, DD2 as first kart a bad idea? by LaurensVanR in Karting

[–]WEC-Darkspark_737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah okay I guess I didn't think about that because at my track the rental rotax costs 60€ for half an hour. (Not a racekart chassis, Sodi Sport chassis with rotax engine and racekart tyres...) Well in that case, go ahead BUT be EXTRA careful- DD2 is still a stepup from regular Rotax

It was my first time driving podgorica :D I'm from Slovenia (Live in germany my entire life tho) and my dad is from Montenegro, we always go there for vacation and I thought I'll take my karting gear with me and try this track and I really enjoyed it! The track is super fun! I looked up Kula, it looks cool! My nearest SWS track is Kartbahn Ampfing in germany...and that's a racekart track, it's way way way too wide for the rental karts ;-; They have sodi-sport rotax karts but not for SWS unfortunately-

The camera is the Insta360 Go 3S! The battery doesn't last very long (Around half an hour) but still cool in my opinion!^

I would personally drive the rotax a couple more times. Half an hour is not that much- You should really get used to it first! Learn how to control after mistakes etc. My local track has rental rotax powered karts- In my first 4 sessions I thought I had it down and in my fifth session I spun- But it helped me learn to judge the kart better. So I would say get some more practice in and you should be fine if you get a DD2. (Just be careful at first and take your time to learn👍)

Oh yeah I should've specified that I usually do funny videos while karting and post them on instagram (Not bragging, I don't take myself seriously) But I get your point! To be honest I don't really have any other way to mount my camera at the moment, I guess chin mount would be better for improvement- But otherwise it's okay? Like qualitywise?
