🚨Stop guessing what's holding your lap time back. I personally review your videos and answer your questions inside the KTips Academy:

turn on the racing line in the settings and you're good to go

3:50 and MONEY :D

Leaning out is such a good tip. Gave that tip to my family last time karting (and it was a really long corner covering almost a quarter of the track) and they all gained at least a second per lap.

the leaning bit is a new one for me. thanks for pointing that out!

time, effort... and money :/

Braking point is such a slippery meaning. It depends on many conditions: weather, your weight, condition of the kart you are driving, but most important thing that changes throughout the session is the tyre temperature. The longer you drive, the closer is the braking point to the corner.

I think it would be worth it to mention how certain corners reward a good exit more than others.
Like the example you had at milton keynes daytona, that corner is a perfect example of "critical" exit speed because its huge straight and uphill so every mph you hold on to it is time down the straight, but some corners are tighter and lead straight in to the next corner and some times some agressive rotation and sacrifice of ultimate exit speed will win you time by track positioning.

plus, on the overdriving part, when someone is right behind you, they'll put lots of pressure on you which leads to stress. and the stress might cause you to overdrive yourself and screw up on track. therefore you need to stay calm and drive fast but responsibly.

But fanging it into the corner and sliding is so much more fun for casual karting 😎

Finally, I can now start putting my extra weight to my advantage knowing to lean outwards.

This is the best karting video for any beginner

I have no idea why I found this but I really want to go karting again now 😂
Learnt something on the lean though. I was always the fastest in my group but was leaning into turns (my group are not necessarily very good 😅) interesting to see the physics behind it have to give that a try now

the main reason is because it costs $15/10 mins

Another technique is "indexing the corners". That is where you analyze your performance on a corner or turn sequence basis, not on lap times. This helps you drill down into places you can improve.

Leaning out is something I never thought to even try, thinking leaning in worked similar to bikes to keep the kart steadily grounded through the corner. Will be practicing leaning out next time, makes sense keeping the grip on the outer tyres.

Saw so much videos about how specificly in Karting drifiting is a thing you SHOULD do and not avoid.
But I guess it depends on what kind of track you are on.

Thank you for your videos. I learned so much from it and with a lot of practices I can shave a second off my fastest time at my first ever session and only 0.6 seconds behind the fastest time of the month. I might invest on a camera so that I can learn more about my driving style

Great video, really practical tips, really well illustrated. I need to work on the leaning, I think instinctively I keep bolt upright! Your point about working at it, not getting disheartened, is well made. Driving a kart fast is a skill and like any other skill, progress comes only from working hard and being prepared to learn. It's a tiny percentage of racers that have so much natural talent that they can win without the work!

Great vid. It's hard for me to do karting often because it's a bit too expensive where I live. I basically do maybe three 8 minute sessions a month. But I got myself a simracing setup as of late and now I basically have unlimited track time whenever I want. It's not a perfect practice for karting which is very different to more "proper" cars you can drive on the sim, but even the universal things that carry over to every single type of race car or kart are enough to cut a few tenths easily. It helps especially with properly using your brake and throttle. You learn this quickly on the sim where you can see a lot of people on the kart track try to use these just as if they were driving a road car. It also helps with track awareness and dealing with slower drivers quickly because you do that very often on the sim in rookie categories. I drive Formula Vee on iRacing for now and let me tell you, it's a lot closer to a kart than to an F1 car, even if it's a bit more complicated.
