Racing Tips

  • Always brake in a straight line! If you do not, the Kart may spin. Go karts have rear brakes only!

    •
  • Safely use up the entire track to negotiate each turn!

    •
  • Brake early and accelerate early. IN SLOW – OUT FAST. If you go in too fast you will come out SLOW, and then slide to a near halt. You will then have lost all your momentum and lose valuable time.

    •
  • If you slide, correct by opposite locking and slow down more to correct the problem by the next corner. Drive smoothly and steer with precision to gain better lap times.

    •
  • Use up the entire track in each corner; (creating the largest radius arc possible) from the widest part of the track going into the corner, across to the inside of the corner (apex) and then back to the outside of the track on your exit of the corner. This will give you maximum speed.

    •
  • Squeeze the accelerator rather than “flooring” it. This way you will have better control until you get used to the kart’s handling. It is possible to spin the kart if power is applied too early.

QUALIFYING SESSION TIPS

Remember, during your Qualifying session, you only need one good lap to earn pole position.
Use most of this session to familiarize yourself with both your kart and the track. If you are held up by a slower kart we suggest that you drop back to give yourself a clear track to maximize your opportunities. Racing one-to-one will slow both drivers down, and a top lap is then nearly impossible.

We look forward to welcoming you!
