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.

Driving karts like those require that you maintain speed. Minimal braking obviously helps.
The shortest line isn't necessairly the fastest way since shorter lines might require more braking or cause you to scrub off more speed in the turns than you would otherwise have to. I'll send my son Matthew down there to take care of the road race guys for you... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
