Haven’t checked too recently but I’m around 87-90kg with all my karting gear on.

@@MBKarting55 damn, here's me thinking you were a whipper snapper the way you cought up with me, Tomo yellow helmet

Ha! I’ll take that as a compliment. It was fun racing with you 😊

I managed to set a 33.669 in my most recent video on a member’s night. It was the GP1 event and that’s my personal best. 😊

Yeah, I only have myself to blame for the 2 spins at turn one 😅 they are weirdly quiet and you really notice when rewatching the race.

It’s been a while since I’ve been but I can try. I was braking at turn 2, 5, 8 and 12 I think. The rest are either full throttle or lifting. Hope this helps.

I think that’s just because the track had only opened 2 days prior and it was like driving on an ice rink haha!

I only killed the same kart 3 times ha! It didn’t seem to like when I pressed the accelerator haha! Kart 8 seemed to work well in the BIKC Finals though. Must have fixed it.

@@MBKarting55 my boy won in kart 8 last Mondays junior race. So yeah it’s fixed. Impressive to kill 3 karts mate 👏👏🤣

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Shame I didn’t record the second heat cause I kept up with you in that one ha! Good luck in the nationals.

@@MBKarting55 yeah I was struggling in that kart, back end kept stepping out on the grippiest section 🤣 it’s a shame the track was practically impossible to overtake on

Yes I did need to use the brakes a few times around the lap but there are plenty of corners that you can just lift or take full throttle.

Thanks, the gap just opened up nicely ha!

@@MBKarting55 you had keep your foot in it, great move 👍

The traffic made it more interesting, I really enjoyed that race 😊

It’s easily done when racing and you caught up again. It was an awesome race between the three of us and I really enjoyed it 😊

Tbh, I felt like I could have carried on ha!

@@MBKarting55 Blimey my 1st go at attacking Warrington I felt like I needed my Mummy, ha ha ha. 2nd 15 minutes and punishment was managed. Booked to do another session in couple weeks time. It has to be done as part of our Teamsport training, if we can get around Warrington the other tracks are a walk.

Thanks, I thought I’d have probably won if things had gone better. Luck really wasn’t on my side that day lol! Glad you enjoyed the video

@@MBKarting55 haha i did mate! and you most definitely would have mate, no questions about it!

I use the GoPro Max

@@MBKarting55 Thanks

Hey Chris, when they weighed me with all the gear on in Sheffield I was around 93kg.

@@MBKarting55 brilliant. Thanks Matt

I use the GoPro Max. I then edit the video with the GoPro player.

@@MBKarting55 wow

Yeah, it was a shame I was only a tenth off qualifying first for the two heats which would have given me a big advantage for the rest of the races. Still, to finish 4th out of everyone without any practice I was happy with.

I use the GoPro Max

Yeah, I wasn't waiting for them to figure out the race had started ha!

My best time is a 39.783. I’ve only been to the Liverpool track 3 times as it’s not very local ha!

@@MBKarting55 that's banging mate, I was back yesterday for my birthday and got a 40.17, I'm very happy with it for now

@@MBKarting55 😍

Thank you, congratulations on the win!

@@MBKarting55 thanks

Thanks, I know! The Beast is pretty quick, I thought it might have been you at one point 😂 I’ve seen that you’re the track record holder.

@@MBKarting55 Yeah definitely, I noticed on the leaderboard ‘The Beast’ is in the over 40s category, but not sure who it could be. I assume they’ll change the driver every now and again too 🤔

@@MBKarting55 Yeah definitely, I noticed on the leaderboard ‘The Beast’ is in the over 40s category, but not sure who it could be. I assume they’ll change the driver every now and again too 🤔

Thanks, I was just on holiday and always try to get a karting session in. I won’t get to practice there for a while lol. I use a GoPro Max which comes with helmet mounts which I have on my personal helmet but I just got lucky that the rental helmet that I used had the same mount on it. The mounts that come with the camera are very sticky and once placed on, they won’t come off again so you’d need your own helmet or to ask the staff for a helmet with a mount. Hope this helps.

Definitely, needed to claw back lost time behind back markers 😂

Thanks, I did notice them overtaking at least one person under the yellow flags and when I was behind him he was making a lot of mistakes. I seemed to get unlucky with the yellow flags getting stuck behind back markers and then the others catching up to me after gaining a gap but sometimes you get unlucky 😂

@@MBKarting55 yea well at least you know who's the faster driver right 😜

I had to include the applause in the video 😂 it was a tight race but I definitely had the pace advantage.

Hey, I tend to stay on the accelerator from the ramp until the sharp hairpin on the top level and find that I carry more speed if I take a wider line. I do try to keep it as tight as possible. My fastest lap is a 59.754 which I unfortunately didn’t record after having to swap helmets mid race ha! What’s your fastest lap?

Oh okay so u still pretty quick then! Unfortunate to not have the lap recorded to know what u did on that corner! And my best is a 59.295. Hope to see u back at the track soon :)

I haven’t been since this race and with the cost of everything going up it’s expensive to get there while living about an hour and 15 minutes away. Preston used to be my closest track but unfortunately that closed. I might be going again on Sunday morning for the 40 lap race and to set my first qualifying time for the BIKC.

Yeah, he got a flag about 2 laps before me for the same thing. They said after that in a members event, either we would have been seen and given the space by others or not black flagged cause we had made the pass, but because we were racing people who weren’t as experienced then they wanted to calm us down.

We were having a great race together but the black flags disrupted that. Hopefully get to race you again sometime.

It was incredible! I didn’t push too hard cause I didn’t want to crash but next time I’d probably push it a bit more.

@@MBKarting55 I know what you mean, there s bit more involved with an accident in one of them. Once you've got a bit more comfortable with them you build confidence and push that bit more. It's surprising the difference once the aero parts come alive and you can go faster and faster. I did an event at Silverstone in single seaters, aero dependent racing is a weird experience as they're a complete bucket until they come alive.
