@dons1932 4 года назад

@@EmilFitness It isn't the weight, it's the tyres. Both of these would have been with brand new rubber. Freshly serviced calipers. You get a pinched caliper or absolutely less than brand spanking new rubber and instantly 3 seconds off the pace. Just the caliper, a pro could drive that to around 1.5 seconds off. But you will never ever drive around used kart rubber. That's what makes even karting expensive now. Rich kids go out on every round with new rubber.

@Acers2K 2 года назад

At my home track in Delft(The Netherlands) We always have a few karts that are faster than normal but when a F1 driver came with a big event, he would get the best kart, repaired, fixed with the right tire pressure and made sure to be even faster than the normal karts to make sure they would get the track record in the few laps they would drive. After the event we would take the kart for a spin we would also go alot faster than the old record. Though i do have to applaud that they can get adjusted to the track very fast and get the racing lines right, but beating the dudes that drives there a few days a week for years with over 10000 laps is a different story :P.

@armymanal 2 года назад

100% it's over exaggerated. Most track I go to I can get within 4 tenths or so of lap records. Only recently I got fastest lap of the month at a track then. Switched to another kart to go and break it by another 5 tenths. If the karts were optimised I have no doubt it would be broken fairly quickly

@NONO-hz4vo Год назад

@@armymanalI'll back that up. I am normally under 5 tenths within 20 laps but still the two biggest factors at indoor places like these are the rider weight and the kart. Everyone knows certain karts are faster than others, not like these are being maintained by anything other than minimum wage kids or being examined by F1 authorities.
