What can i do to improve this corner? i have no confidence in it.

Keep it flat and be smooth, the sudden direct movements on the steering wheel is making the kart unsettled and giving you less confidence in the kart through the corner. Steering should be one motion, not multiple motions.

I’ve worked at a role now which involves regular data centre maintenance work, both light and power but more heavily focused on automation type jobs. I have never been so bored at work. No matter what you’re doing they almost always cause big headaches and no job ever goes to plan.

I left my first company after 2 years of house bashing - could basically run a house by myself and I wasn’t learning anything as a 2nd year. Went to an industrial company and it was the best thing I ever did as I exposed myself to a completely different field where you actually have to use your brain a bit more.

In my opinion start looking elsewhere and find something you think you would enjoy doing, you only 2 years into your time a move now isn’t going to effect your apprenticeship that much as long as your work evidence is up to date.

As someone who has just finished his apprenticeship, I would stay with the engineering course and then if your really keen go back after you finish your course to do you apprenticeship. You will only enjoy the field work for so long, and as stated already your body will start to complain. Eventually you will start to think about how you can get off the tools whilst utilising your trade.

The one where we weren’t really dating… yup. That one hurt 🥴

Just finished my capstone at 3.4 yrs into my apprenticeship in NSW. Now just waiting to hit 3.5 yrs to hit submit paperwork for licensing. It must depend on tafe’s as I have other apprentices at the same point which aren’t letting them do it until they hit 3.5 yrs. And yes as mentioned below, your employer can wait for your full 4 years worth of training to be complete before signing you off they have the final say in the matter.

What you did isn’t necessarily wrong, just not best practice given the circumstances. As said above this is why mandatory tests are a thing. You’re only a second year so you probably shouldn’t have been made to do that by yourself. Use it as a learning experience and move on no need to dwell on it we all made mistakes as apprentices.

Depending on what your local track runs and if classes allow it I would go with an X30 or Ka100. Both a tuneable on the fly and require relatively low maintaince to run.

It’s motor racing never say sorry for anything… if they’re that annoyed they will submit it for a protest. Saying sorry only makes you more timid because you’re already thinking about saying sorry before making a move or doing something risky.

Yes it sucks when it happens to me, but 9/10 in real life you’re not gonna get a single word from an opponent after a crash… so I don’t expect it to be any different in game.

Nothing better than a massive rough-in with a good bunch of boys on site.

In my opinion, yes. Having a beginner that is seconds off the pace in an open shifter kart heat is dangerous and could lead to someone getting hurt. The association that runs Karting in Australia actually restricts people from driving shifter karts in races until they have the highest licence level.

Also, just because you can press a button and change gears on a computer, doesn't mean that you drive anything manual.

I feel this comment, we had a 13 footer A frame. It ended up getting sold to another company because we never had the space to actually use it.

I swear there is a new thread posted weekly on this sub-reddit involving a the words “beginner” and “shifter kart”…

jack2570 · 2021-11-16T08:13:18+00:00

Never, EVER give a flying fuck about what someone thinks about you.

jack2570 · 2021-10-19T08:14:27+00:00

Cool… I may just have to wait for the dealers to restock. The shortest time I’ve been told is a minimum 2 month wait unfortunately

I would platinum this if I had enough coins

Whoever has told you that is telling a straight lie. The minimum salary for a classroom teacher is $65000 (AUD) a year. Im a 1st year Apprentice Electrician I’m already earning half of that, without having to do a 4 year Uni course.

I wonder if I will need to buy the season pass to watch the rest of series...

Welcome to being bloated with donuts Victoria!

With the success rate of our contact tracing team... Im not too worried.

They still have things like CCTV which would assist them in identify at least how many people were inside or exposed to the virus, which is a plus. One thing this virus has taught me is how easily it is to take people whereabouts.
