I use a Go Pro Hero 8, 2.7K and 60fps, Superwide View and everything else is default 😇

Ready for another season of racing 🫡

I hope so too, didn’t see you all night 🥺

Unfortunately I think they were avoided this time 😢

Thank you very much Mr Gaskell! 🙌🏾

Have been going down a lot recently and found it to be really slippery with not too much grip. Main thing that I find helps is if you feel the kart going a bit all over the place, just lift off of the throttle a little bit and try to guide it back around towards the back straight!

@BenPaines yess that defo helps, js went today

@vibinq Good stuff, I’m glad it helps, I hope you had a good time!

Nice stuff Callum, I’ll give these a go if I ever head over again to the track in the future, it’s a fun track for sure!

Yeah I remember hearing this somewhere as well, it’s just such a shame as the whole event was just a bit sour for everyone involved really and it ruins what is Teamsport’s spectacle event of the year…

Only one… and it did make me laugh under my helmet a bit to be fair 😅

Yeah didn’t make much sense to me… Think on the side they were all pushing me to get back past again rather than laughing at him to be honest

Mr Saul was definitely flying along, but please make sure that 40 gets put out of action for life 🥲🫡

Had an absolute blast, the race was a lot of fun. Bit disappointed with the result but happy with how I was driving; onwards to next year! 📈

Thank you so much Katie, it was definitely a bit of a tricky one but it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. I’m sure you would’ve been okay, there was a lot more grip on this track compared to some others 😅 Was honestly really happy with how I drove, think I got a bit unlucky at the start and then pushed a bit too hard for the second spin… Really happy with the pace and overtakes, so all things ready to take into next year! 💪🏾

Hi Matthew, my last time down at the track would be in the video from 10 days ago on my channel. If you take a look at that one, you may be able to find yourself a bit of time. I don’t actually head down to Bristol too much at the moment and I’m certainly by no means extremely quick there at the moment, so I don’t think I would have the best idea to make a full lap guide for winter unfortunately. However, you are setting some good times at the moment, just try to get in the track consistently and you’ll find those lap times coming down with the seat time! :)

@@BenPaines Alright Ben, I’ll take a look at the latest video at Teamsport Bristol, and I’ll see where I can improve. again, thank you so much for providing great content for beginners to karting like me, it helps to learn from professionals like you how I can improve my karting! Keep up the great content, I’ll stay tuned for your future videos, Matthew :)

It’s not a problem, more than happy to help, I am by no means a professional but I really do appreciate the kind words! Consistency and track time is always the biggest factor for improving in my experience so the more you can get down there, the quicker you will get! :)

Jack is an amazing driver but his kart did seem on another level for this one, especially over 30 minutes 🙃

@@BenPainesI think my lines were just better ;)

This is also true, you were flying and have been all year! 😮‍💨

@@BenPainesHad a lucky season, especially Brighton with the spaceship I got. Was great racing you! Glad Rory wasn’t there otherwise I’d be in the wall every round

Maybe so, but take nothing away from yourself, had some mega drives this year mate. Was a pleasure sharing the track with you and hopefully some more to come in the future!

Thank you very much Sam! 🙌🏾

You are indeed first! 🫡🔥

@ thanks wish you all the best for your career💪🏻

Thank you very much, the same to you! 💪🏾

I also used to get extremely angry and frustrated for no reason, however we do learn and grow into more mature people… eventually 😌

@BenPaines oi mate do you have discord orr somethin we can talk ? Seeing another racer made my day really

My social media’s are linked in the description of the video, you can give me a message on Instagram if you like mate :)

@BenPaines it doesnt let me the option send a message is not there ?🫣🫣🫣

I got you don’t worry 🫡

This was my reaction too… 😂

Was definitely not expecting to be flying on this evening 😭 Mr Ford loves the divebombs, this was definitely on the limit but considered a clean move in the eyes of the marshals 😌 Appreciate it as always Wayne, will always go for those gaps 🥰

You literally had the best seat in the house to see what was going on… genuinely glad we were all good too it definitely wasn’t a pleasant experience!

@@BenPainesbloody was not a good seat 😩 joys of karting thoe 🥰

This is why karting is a top tier sport 🥹

They had a really nice turn of speed about them, it was a lot of fun, definitely so much quicker than the 4 strokes. I bet you used to have an absolute blast, these are definitely a nice way to compare the speed rush 😅

@BenPaines We did mate, always smiling. We'd find mud in places only my biology teacher knew the name of. Definitely need to try the 2stroke carts. Only downside is its a 3hour drive from me. Might book a weekend away n do some touristy things 🤔

Sounds absolutely perfect to me! Definitely would recommend going down and giving it a go, I think you’ll have a great time! It’s not too far from Birmingham for example so you could always make a nice weekend from it as you say! 🙌🏾

@BenPaines They were tbf, no cares in the world just a jerry can of petrol, 2stroke oil n some food n drink 🤣 Sounds like a plan, weekend away with the Mrs with some 2 stroke action. Plus the karting, should be fun 😎

@RollinRoadblock Honestly sounds absolutely lovely 😎 But 100%, think you will really enjoy it, the karting is always a nice bonus to the weekends 🙂‍↔️

Not a problem, I use a Go Pro Hero 8 and have done for the last few years. Have never had any issues with the camera other than sometimes the batteries tend to die and play up a little bit when it gets towards an hour straight recording (although I record with 2.7K and not 1080p). I just use the sticky pad mount that came with the camera kit and stuck it to the top of my helmet ready for the camera to be slotted into it. Personally, I would have a look at the Go Pro Hero 9 - I think the batteries and stabilisation are a bit better on them and as it’s a little older now, you may be able to grab it for a decent price! 🤞🏾

@ thank you for the reply have gone for a hero 10 👌

That’s great, I hope you enjoy it! 🙌🏾

I think it’s time for you to venture to the scary south and see where the limits lie that you’re allowed to be in 😏

@BenPaines some podding incoming 😂😂

We do love a bit of podding 😍

The 8:30 group on Mondays use to think it was stockcar all bumper action and loading. I did an extra session with them and it was agressively fantastic. We all came out with 6 penalty points each and the fence came down.

Was definitely a bit of a mess at the start but me and Jason always love a bit of on-track warfare 🤓

Thank you so much Sam! 🙌🏾

Try to keep the kart as straight as possible and try not to drift through the corners. Use brakes gradually but still with enough pressure to reach max pressure on most corners (at least on this track) and be careful on the throttle as you want to get on it when the kart has settled and isn't sliding, although you can slightly feather it before going fully on the power coming out of a few low grip corners, for example the hairpin before the up ramp.

@ thanks man, noted!

All drivers were alright thankfully, including myself! 💪🏾 Advice Oskar has given is very good, one thing I noticed after not going for a while, was how light you have to be on the brake pedal to not lose too much momentum. The most I was pressing it towards the end was about 20% of the entire pedal to ensure the kart slowed but didn’t completely bog down under low speed. Main advice however would be to not overdrive, aim to be smoother rather than faster if that makes sense? 👀

Absolute menance

The karts have a high idle, and I wasn’t holding the brake which is why the kart was crawling slowly (further haven’t used petrol karts indoors at a race start for a good few months as explained in the video due to using electrics, which don’t crawl when the brakes are not held at a race start). However, I also was further back in my grid slot to accommodate for this. I race within the limits of what is allowed and pride myself on trying to be as sporting and fair as possible - especially as everything I do is recorded for everyone to see ✌🏾

nothing new at TS Bristol, Bens been doing it since the start

@@BenPaines Interesting. Sounds like i have been the mug all along for sticking to the rules by holding the brake where needed to keep my kart stationary until the lights go out. I think regardless of whether you started further back in your grid slot to accommodate the high idle you still have an advantage compared to all other stationary karts as you've already got momentum, which as you know makes a big difference in karting. IMHO i dont think thats within the limits at all, it's clearly outside of them.

This is the only time I’ve ever done this just due to having a bit of a mind blank and using electric karts a lot recently, as I mentioned previously. At the end of the day, I just didn’t want a repeat of what happened before the restart took place 🤷🏾‍♂️

Your right, best thing to do in racing is to back out of a move👍

It’s a bit of a horrible kink in the track and unfortunately I’m a person that won’t ever back of something I consider a 50/50 chance of making a place unless something drastic happens. On this occasion, it just all came up very quickly, I didn’t even have time to react to what was going on, especially with a kart essentially pushing my rear bumper too (so there was no way of backing out unless I fully moved to the side and let everyone past - which I wasn’t going to do). I’m also not someone that would ever force a restart as I absolute hate wasting the track time - we lost out on about 6 laps of racing because of this. Although I do know some that would be more than happy to take places back if something like this were to happen 🤧

@@BenPaines If you were being pushed from behind too that's a fair point that i didn't consider as so you're right about it not being easy to back out in that situation. I actually liked your solution on the restart where you push that kart to the right slightly to stop it from happening again (as it looked like it was about to happen again). And yeah, I certainly know a few too who much prefer to force a race restart.

​@@Robbie.Petchey.Racing *you're. Like most things in life, there is a real advantage to mastering the ability to successfully recognise when to commit or when to back out of a situation. If you don't ever choose your battles wisely then it's just reckless...and reckless behaviour is a real issue if it directly impacts others.

@@JD-env1 sorry but who are you and where do u race?

Just assorted chaos… 🤪

@@BenPaines is it should be

My camera did grab the scenes afterwards however I thought I’d skip that little bit out… 😂 The whole front of the kart was caved in so I’m glad you were all good honestly! And I think the speed difference is just subject to the electrics having more torque, plus they can be at their top speed for longer due to the length of the straights! 🔥

@BenPaines I can't remember exactly what Isaid but it couldn't have been good😂, I'll need to bring my camera to every race now, regardless of what it is because Im pissed i didn't have it on this day

Oh no it definitely wasn’t… 🙃 I’m really surprised that you didn’t have it on you, but this is why I always wear mine, no matter where I am! 😅

I did actually manage to land on top of another kart but luckily it was just on the nassau so it caused me to bounce off straight away and we were both alright! Fingers crossed there’s no more like it in the near future! 😅

Thank you so much, was such a punch in the gut as I was completely gullible to think the best karts would’ve been put out on track for the final 🫠

@BenPaines it's definitely a kick in the gut no doubt. I'm sure your come back stronger and get that top position you deserve 🏆

Will be back again next year for sure, hopefully can make it back to the National Final again and give it another good go! 💪🏾

Thank you very much! 🤠

Thank you so much Bran, can’t wait for the next one, especially as I’m going to be seeing you soon at BRKC! 🔥

Thank you Katie, was really happy with how I did and had a great race with Saul in the Semi Final. Couldn’t believe I was pushing for the front on my first time there but hopefully there’s more to come in the future! Really appreciate the kind words as always! 😇

Quickest HW was always going to be Saul as a track local with over 400 sessions at the track. Was really upset to see the way that the end of the way the race placed out on the restart, with grid positions, retaken jokers etc… It just wasn’t good enough all round unfortunately.

@BenPaines Saul dominated at our Regionals at Nottingham too which isn't his local. Credit to the driver where it's due. Great racing all day by all!

He’s definitely done very well, should take nothing away from himself. Looking forward to what he gets involved in next year for sure! Was still lovely to race with so many competitive and strong drivers!

@BenPaines You gave us all some great racing to watch!

I think we are both going to remain baffled for a while with that one - I still am 😂 Was amazing finally racing you too Antony, I really enjoyed our battles all day for sure and I’m sure we’ll get that opportunity at some point in the near future 😎

It really is a bit all over the place and does add an element of luck over the competition - however, the best drivers seem to final themselves at Nationals every year. So was very happy and proud to be up there in the first place for sure 🥰

Thank you Neil, gave it my all but it’s just one of those things unfortunately. Maybe next year, it might have to be arranged… need to have some of that that extra fortune 😅🤣

Thank you very much, honestly venting out frustration would solve nothing, what’s done is done and can only push forward to take the positives from it 😇 Was really happy with my driving during the event as a whole and was proud to put on a show from it. Very easy to throw rattles out of the pram (have done it a fair bit in the past…) but learnt a lot from the whole experience that can be used moving forward 🫡 The videos always take a bit of extra time alongside just the recording but I really enjoy doing it and if it can help/inspire others to get involved whilst providing a bit of entertainment then that is all a bonus for me 🥹 Thank you for the kind words as always, it really does mean the world ❤️

@BenPaines Maybe one day once he's old enough Oscar could be racing alongside you in KRT....if you'd have him 😁 Money is the true barrier I face in terms of getting him much higher up in competetive motor sports, ie owner karting, so looking for alternate ways forwards, teams he could race with that won't bankrupt me. I'm more than prepared to drive him anywhere he needs to go around the UK so maybe that's one day an option. Keep up the great content, we definitely look up to you as inspiration.

I am definitely keeping my eye on Oscar don’t worry 😌 Money is always a massive issue, talent can only take you so far in racing but with the right support around, it really does help a lot! The support you give Oscar is amazing and I know he really appreciates it as well 100% 🔥 Thank you so much as well, genuinely it means the world, will hopefully have some more footage out again soon 🥳

@@BenPaines I've just read this thread to Oscar....but got to run now as Teamsport GP1 starts in just over an hour 😎 Chat soon and it's great to hear you've got your eye on him 👊🏼

Likewise mate, hope he enjoys it! 🔥

You were busy flapping your wings for that speed boost 😂🤪 Was such an advantage being on the inside, grid slots were way too close together 🥲

It was definitely a bit all over the place… Seemed that luck definitely took its hold on me but thank you so much mate I really appreciate it, can’t wait for the next one now!

@ don’t let this get in your head! Keep on driving and you will get there

I won’t for sure, onto the next one, can’t wait for BRKC in January 🤩

Reposition the grid spots with more space between and it would have been a much fairer event. We just have to accept some karts are worse than others, impossible to really fix that but atleast the TS crew try.

I agree 100%, if it was slight more spread out, it would’ve given those on the outside a fairer chance - rather than being punished for qualifying in a higher position than those behind them. The TS guys do as good a job as they can, the parity was just a bit of a shame with the tight margins with everyone performing extremely well; could’ve happened to anyone on the grid unfortunately.

This is a PG channel… If that camera stayed on and didn’t die during that red flag then I would’ve had a few issues 🤧 Really appreciate it though mate, look forward to seeing you around again sometime soon 🫶🏾

Kevin loves the drama 😂

He really does, he’s the king of drama 😉

Was amazing giving you a battle mate, the Semi Final was definitely up there with my best of the year for sure as I said 😌 Would’ve been an amazing little battle for the win but there’s always next year 😉

Did all I could, was still really happy with the performance and to be up at the front with some talented drivers! Spent a lot of time, money and effort but it’s just one of those things unfortunately. I think you may have secretly paid off the commentary team, was very surprised at the amount of screen time 😅🥰

@ you deserved all the air time mate and even pre event at silverstone 👍🏻and your dad on an interview also and he dresses SHARP MATE love his style in clothing 👌

Really do appreciate it Wayne, thank you very much 🥹 Will pass on the kind words, he seemed even more comfortable than I did for his interview 😎

@ he’s my kinda guy 😎👌

Cheers mate, was a shame because it makes me think what if… but it is what it is, onto the next event 💪🏾

Too many 🦆… Appreciate it though bro, go again next year! 👊🏾
