GO KARTING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

[danielbaker]

This is a wonderfully made video and I can tell that it took a lot of effort to make, as someone who is just starting to get into racing this video was incredibly helpful to me. Really, thank you.

What’s more interesting is that sometimes the ideal line isn’t the quickest, if you turn as much as you can in the apex to make sure you steer as little as possible in the exit, that will make your acceleration far superior, the reason behind this is that unlike normal racing cars, go karts have SHIT engines, any steering angle on the exit will severely limit your acceleration

whoa. Hairpins are named after hairpins. That's amazing. who would've thought

[arsehat]

Thanks for this tutorial series, decreased my best lap time by 5 seconds in the second time ekarting. From 37, 218 to 32.938 in a 315 m track. Never driven any gokarts before, the g-force is addicting

Amazing video, even tho i'm not a regular at karting, I really enjoyed watching this video good job!!!

[ALYG]

7min in 'Reason why he's at the Kart track in the first place' got me man well done!!

[McCurleyFries]

I went go-karting and was surprised how much power I would lose during the hairpin turns to what I thought was the ideal line. This is exactly what I needed to show me how to improve next time! Thank you :)

[anomalyp]

Bro, absolute golden content!
Very well done man. 10/10

[ledseblin]

This is nicely done. I particularly liked the hand-drawn diagrams. Can't wait to practice my hairpins!

[prodbydxb]

Mate I have watched many of your vids and they are all absolutely insane and you are the only karting channel that I watch regularly

[thecevi]

Thanks for this video. I just started with bit of karting two weeks ago and I saw I was losing lot of speed in hairpins because I’m using geometrical line. I’m gonna try this tip next time I go and see if my lap time improve a bit, thanks.

man that's probably the best karting video on youtube for a moron like me

[geraldinegrant]

Great video, one of the best out there to watch prior to karting. Well done.

[Joshuliu]

0:44 i would like to add onto the fact that the hairpin corner is named after hairpins. the gas pedal of the go kart, actually interestingly accelerates the go kart.

[silenthealer]

Never thought this would be THIS useful 😃 thansk a lot

[sameroulis]

They have a new racing track in Losail. You should check it out!

[cheesebusiness]

What said around 3:30 is not true for cars with weak engine, which are most of rental go-karts. If the car accelerates slowly, it makes sense to carry more speed through the corner.

[joshthorp]

Great video! Worst part of my race is the hairpins, need to go try these techniques out! 👍🏼

[davideduard]

Exactly the explanation I needed. Thank you bro 👏🥰

[velocitygamer]

What if theres no straight after a hairpin say a double hairpin
