RECOGNIZE and STOP OVERDRIVING 

You've got the best racing advice hands down, just wish I could've found some of this info much earlier. Thanks for the great videos!

The first time I properly recognised when I was overdriving and fixed it, I won my first heat, coming 2nd for heats 2 and 3. In the final I got nervous and overdid it, and had to settle for 3rd to average me to 2nd. It's one of the most important things to learn for sure.

Thank you so much! I did some indoor karting recently which sparked starting into iRacing. I dusted off my old T500RS and went to town. Over driving…yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing most of the time and it spirals out of control, very self defeating. As a total noob it feels like a total miracle to figure out a track only to try and take that speed to a new circuit which leads to spinning off at every corner…loved the detail and calmness of your explanations, it resonated perfectly. Mental note: do not try to pare back time from absolute chaos, muy importante!😂

So good Ryan! Thanks

Great information

This is invaluable advice - it always sounds so simple, but so hard to convey to the driver. The same as adapting to different track conditions and following the rubber. Slow is fast, fast is slow ;)

by far the best advice I've seen on youtube! looking forward to work with your insights.

I wish I could have found this sooner. Thank you Ryan!

Always helpful. Very thankful for all your tips and tricks. easy to understand that's what I need

Great topic

On this channel i found sticking to my passes, and just sending it, is good thing i learned , aswell this is a great topic for a video! This is what makes me slower, over driving! i get too heated. I'm learning race theory, and not just driving wins races . i have too keep my cool and not battle. Slowing down and just sticking with them till the end as cleanly as possible is the best! i can't wait to try out my new knowledge at my next local enduro race at the Houston karting complex here in Texas thanks

Thanks Ryan for all of this, it has really given me the speed of more experienced drivers on the track. This is defiantly very important information as I am starting my rookie season in a KA-3 junior in a kart republic kart for the karting Australia with amazing coaches and mechanics this is almost like a tutor. Keep up the great work.

great tips - some vid to illustrate the point would add a new dimension

On point with the information, as always !

It’s always a great day when Ryan Posts a Vid! 🐐😁🏎 Thanks For all the tips!

Love it Ryan, can’t wait to use these techniques on track and do good for my first national race at Orlando, USPKS. Have a great day Ryan!

Literally everything you said applies to me, it’s really something I need to work on! Thanks for the specific advice :)

I'm over here laughing because it feels like your answering questions I needed answers to but didn't ask. I am definitely over driving when I thought I was going to slow. The accordion effect 100% me

This is so helpful, thanks

Your advice definitely works for me mate

Hey Ryan, Thank you for all your helpful videos. You give us very useful tips to improve ourselfs in karting. I wish you the best of luck this season! Btw. You‘re chanell has made me a lot faster and better in karting.

Eye opening, helps me understand why I had issues on the weekend in turn 1, I was trying too hard and over driving that one corner, my weakest corner on the track.

Thank you!! Ive been struggling with my sim racing and blowing past the apex by braking too late. This helped a lot.

I was there racing with you last week and its crazy how fast and consistent you are. Still got a lot to learn from it since ive only just started x30. See you in skusa, its gonna be fun for sure!

Ryan. Thank you for making this video. Even though I do indoor karting, I going to use every word you said to get better. I'm going indoor karting for my birthday next week. So thank you.

Thank you. Got PP of club race but still the first pp in my Rotax karting career . Need to learn more from this channel.

Man im going to have to play this video before every session lol Fighting the kart is what I feel over and over again. Awesome explanations and being that im local at AMR helps out a bunch! Thanks a million!

Superior karting channel. I definitely suffer from overdriving and will pay special attention to this at tomorrow's practice!

Slow karts breed over driving but smart drivers take them and score a great time !

Idk if it makes me faster. My Season didin't start yet. I'm taking your tips to be faster soon

Great video Ryan. Definetively helpful. Question.. would you advise to try some chassis tuning to correct the “kicking out” out before backing up the braking point?

Hey man. Any recommendations for really good gloves?

Great thing is driving behind others. They should show you the best line and you will practise race conditions

Lovely video Ryan, really helps! Just one fast question, apart from exercising and simulator, what other things can a driver do when it's not track day to develop skills?

Thanks for the info !! Ryan how do u know if say a rear slide is overdrive or wrong chassis setup ??

Yes

The new intro is fire.

Hi Can you make a video that explains defending your position in a fair way? Thanks!

This is my biggest problem of all. Trying too hard to prove to myself I can drive. Do you offer coaching for sim racing, please?

yes

Hi Ryan, very logical explanations. Pretty sure I’m overdriving many times (I make all the mistakes you mentioned), but how to know by “how much” to ease on the late braking so that you don’t get into underdriving? I know that’s the “million dollar question” for finding the limit between grip and speed, but what’s the most efficient way to get there? Looking for those last 2-3 tens in a 23 second lap layout, that will put me close to poles. Thanks!

practice what u preach gumby

Haven't gotten to put the tutorials to use, yet. But, right away I can see that there's time to be gained by following Ryan's words

I always thought I am late breaking but know I know I am overdriving

He Ryan, for the last month I’ve been half a second off my best time, and I think that I’m driving better please does this happen to you or do you know how I can get back on the pace.

first and also love the vids :)

Great advice! Question is how to implement that on the track?? Being an amateur I always have a feeling that I’m to slow in comparison to most of the real “racers”… So, I’m 2-3sec off the pro drivers time and I find out that overdriving is obviously one of my problems. Biggest difference to pro”s is as you described, I’m close on the braking (and then I’m fighting the cart during the corners) while they are making big gap on the exit... So, I should brake earlier , enter the corners with less speed, and accelerate faster?? Being slower should make me a faster driver in total… Must reset my mind and references to do so. Might not be so easy! Any advice how to do that in real? Any “exercise” for practicing that?? Thanks.

can you please make a video on wet weather karting?

hey bro I'm currently living in Shanghai China. I can't use my bank card from bank home to pay for blayze does blayze accept Union Pay cards I can't find anything on there website

I'll see you on blayze

do you think you will post skusa onboard?

btw how do i know that i am turning in too early?

Im a beginer, Never know the right break point. Its the hardest part

will that explained it, every time i go go-karting after a 10min session of quail laps i dont have the power to get out of the kart, i thought im out of shape because i im really am. Also i have a question i weight about 97-100kg and 193cm, Dose it effect my lap time?.

Someone asked how I could tell that Vettel was over driving at Monaco in 2018. He was concentrating on Ricciardo's ass, missing braking points and apexes and nearly crashing instead of just running his own race. If you saw that race DannyRick had a failing power unit and could have been passed by Vettel but had to settle for second place. I've done it myself on some autocross runs and you just want to kick your own ass when it happens. Good tutorial.

Do you never race in WSK? Or in general in Europe karting?

how do you maintain high rpm coming out of a hairpin?

I know 2 stroke karting is far more popular but what constitutes overdriving in 4 stroke karting is a bit different. The proper technique is similar but not the same. There are subtleties that make addressing overdriving in 4 stroke different.

Waaaas up buddy 😎😎

I’m on the second year of a rental kart league I do and now I’ve stopped overdriving I’m going a lot quicker. Last race I came 2nd

Over driving causes spins and hard crashes at high speed it can be ...

you have to push the limits, not exceed them

It's actually pretty simple. Goal is to keep the front wheels pointed in a straight line as much as possible. Sliding, constant corrections, etc. are what slow you down. Also, learning how to get away with cheating is important at the National level, if you want to run up front. But, all the dudes that do run up front, including this guy will tell you they don't cheat.

So good Ryan! Thanks
