Our scca region is having a weekend race at one of those nice indoor go-kart tracks. Last year, the club racers beat up on the autocrossers pretty badly.
So what's the secret to being fast in a kart? Short line vs. smoother, wider line; Hit the apex or late apex; hard brake & gas vs smooth transitions etc. I'd rather not have to resort to stock car tactics to keep people behind me.

QUOTE (35th_Anniversary_AS_Camaro_SS @ Mar 11 2005, 02:12 AM) 2 rules: 1. never lift. foot always to the floor. silly go-karts don't accelerate 2. shortest line is always quickest depending on surface car may skip across asphalt, but keep your foot planted. Ditto on #1. Smooth is better and faster too. It really depends on the surface you are running on. On a lot of indoor tracks it tends to be very low grip and the tires stay cold as a result. This means sliding might be unavoidable. Have fun!! :drive: |
