Normally aim for like 14.0k, I just got a mega run out of that final corner haha There's two classes, one just named senior rotax which runs a minimum weight of 162KG and the heavyweight class which runs 177KG... Since I weight about the same as a bag of sugar, I'm in the 162KG class
Yeahhh, It's not bad.. It's pretty much in its prime now with only 4/5 hours of running since a full rebuild. It's my first season in rotax so me and my dad are still trying to figure out wtf is going on
Yeaa, I don't really understand how it works exactly, but I know my revs can't get over 14.11k :P
I'll find out for sure later, the rear was 82.. I know that for sure :').
Was my dads fault really (as always) He tightened up the pin to hold the brake pads in, in like 7 Celsius temperatures.. I presumed the calipers expanded when they got hot and snapped the pin
I ****ing hate flo rida... completely ruined the song Levels by Avicii
BUT.. I LOVE, the tune at 2:40 - 3.15 in the flo rida version Can anyone give me other suggestions of music like this ?
You'd be surprised how much of a difference a bit of tyre heat helps in those karts, after say 20+ laps you really start to get some good grip and stability. In this case though, it really depends how long the karts were sitting still before the next group jumped in, since they will wont hold any core temperature at all, since they are some shitty 'duro' make tyres.
The main advantage is usually what chassis you are on, even though they're all technically the same.. in the fleet of 16ish karts at Cardiff (same karts as in that onboard vid) I can guarantee that all of them feel so different to each other. I can probably go about 1 second quicker in the best handling kart than the worse handling one. The power in each engine is pretty similar, depends on your weight mostly anyways.
That's Teamsport Bristol right? I had to go there for some shitey training day.. fun track, the change in floor coming off the bridge onto the shiney concrete is.... fun
Thanks! Same with my IS... 1,000+ gold per shell is a lot haha. What gun would you recommend to use on the IS? I have the best 122mm, but I've been tempted to try out the 100mm also.
Thanks To be completely honest I think my driving style is like that in those sessions out of necessity, with the wet track and shite old tyres that was really the only way I could get the kart to turn into the corners!
I haven't had a completely dry session yet while I've owned the GoPro, so it would be interesting to see if my driving style changes at all with the different conditions. Who knows, maybe I'm actually an Alonso wannabe
If like me, you love something with so much power you can't go over 1/4 throttle with until you are in a perfectly straight line, then get it ^.^ (that was a bit of an exaggeration)
I need to get using the LMP I bought ages ago... There is quite a few tracks I can race at this season
