How to be Consistent 4:58

7M ago4:58

4:58

Winning races comes down to being fast, but also being consistent. That might mean stringing 10 laps in a row within 1 tenth of a second. What this does is, by making less mistakes, chasing drivers will find it harder to overtake and beat you. Consistency means finding the same markings around the track and aiming to hit these points lap after lap.…

How to Overtake 5:36

Motor Racing is all about driving fast and trying to beat your competition. But sometimes that means we need to overtake our competitors to get in-front and win the race. Nerves, confidence and choosing the right corners are all important when it comes to learning how to overtake other drivers. Setting up a pass so that the driver doesn't get you b…

Go Kart Rear Axle Setup 4:42

10M ago4:42

4:42

Today we're discussing go-kart rear axles. When it comes to motor racing, cars have suspension. So karting is different because the rear axle acts like a suspension. It might flex a little bit here and there depending on the stiffness of the axle, but realistically it doesn't spring like suspension does. So, it's important to use it as a tuning too…

Today we're going to be discussing how to go-kart in the rain. Now, for most of us, we tend to want to drive as it’s easier. When you drive in the rain, things are going to wear out quicker; engines, tires, cleaning the kart, that takes more time. The chances of spinning out are more evident with the wet weather, but let's face it, motor racing is …

Now, it can be quite frustrating as you're starting out in karting and you're picking off one to two seconds at a time because you're just starting out and it all seems a little bit too easy.

Let’s look at why it’s so important to not just drive at the one circuit. For some people, they don't have the luxury of having a circuit close to them. So, they might have to travel one or two hours away and be forced to just drive at the one circuit. If you are fortunate enough to have a couple of circuits within a reasonable drive, we want to lo…

Negative vs Positive Camber 4:45

11M ago4:45

4:45

Let’s look at when to use positive or negative camber in kart racing. Now the first thing is what is camber? That's changing the angle of the tire. As you are looking at it from a top-down point of view, if you've got the tires pointing towards the inside of the kart, that's going to be negative camber. If they're pointing towards the outside of th…

Let's be honest. It's all good qualifying up the front, but if you aren't good at the race starts, then it's all a waste of time.

Then working out whether the inside, or outside (more risky) line is going to be best …

Let’s discuss how some drivers can dominate on a practice day, but then can't translate that onto a race day. We see in practice sometimes, kids setting the fastest laps they've ever set. Two days later, or a couple of weeks later, get to race day and suddenly, they're 0.4, maybe even up to one second off the pace they were driving the weekend befo…

Wet Weather Driving Tips 6:58

In motor racing, driving in the wet conditions can be more difficult than driving in the dry conditions. Wheel spin, limited grip, understeer, are all factors that are exaggerated in the rain. For drivers though, they need to learn how to adapt to all conditions so that on race day, they are ready for whatever challenge is thrown at them. In this e…

How to manage your Kart Tyres 7:35

Tire management is something drivers don’t always think about, but it plays a big role in the results. Now a lot is determined by how hard or how soft the compound of tire that you're driving on. It also has a lot to do with the track surface itself, so whether it's abrasive or it's a smooth surface and the temperature of the day does have a bit to…

Now, technologies improved a lot over the last five, 10 years, and when I was winning all my races in the 2005, 2015 era, we didn't really look a lot into data analysis. It just wasn't something that technology was up to scratch with. So nowadays when you're looking at, whether it's a M…
