5 bits of equipment you NEED for Karting!

My opinion is that the first thing you need is rib protector.
Other things you can get in rental karting club.
And the right elbow guard.
I agree. It wasn't on my list either but after ua-cam.com/users/shorts8EEW9upWR9E I went and got one. I felt that hit for weeks.
I'm getting into Karting this year for the first time. I'm excited as he'll too ! I'm just a young 65 year old that isn't putting it off anymore... it's a 2 and a half hour to the closest track.
I'm just doing arrive and drive this year but do need all the gear .thanks for your videos.
I want to mention that it’s pretty important to try out the equipment first and see if they fit comfortably or not. Yes, I do know its most common to buy online these days but really try it out. My sparco gloves i’ve had for a year now and they’re starting to get small and recently got a new Arai helmet and fits nicely. I’ve also tried wearing a Bell helmet but I noticed it felt a bit too tight around my cheeks so i tried out Arai instead.
Love yours videos! Great Job!
Thanks for the tips. Best regards from the Philippines 🇵🇭
In addition to your kit list, i'd suggest. Sparco or OMP neck collars for Kadet and juniors especially. Sparco rib protector (Under suit) too. OMP collar is better for juniors as it's chunkier and helps until neck strength is built up. The sparco neck collar is great but doesn't lock the neck to the helmet. My son got mashed by a novice and he was sparko'd out. Big crash and both kids wore neck braces. Saved both kids from neck injuries and kept their heads upright and airways open till medical support on the track. I wear the adult Sparco rib protector under my suit for Indoor myself. Sparco Kart collar too. The OMP Kart collar really locks in the helmet to the shoulders in comparison and is better for kids. Keep up the good work fella!
Thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks. I'm looking forward that they will improve my lap times :)
... by the way. Your T-Shirts have been a good choice now to suprise a good friend who brought me into carting :)
I use a protection vest and this neck protector ring. At indoor tracks it helps me a lot.
Amazing channel mate , thanks to You I improve a lot on My karting skills 🎉
So happy to hear that! Thank you for your feedback!
Agree with all that, except maybe I'd put shoes in second personally. Went to improve the contact surfaces and have the best feel on the pedals. But I can see both ways.
Always a great video. Tks! 😃 👍🏻
bro your videos are so helpful thanks alot 🎉
Thanks mate
you forgot to mention other safety gear, when going into rotax always buy a rib protector and also a HANS device that will protect your neck.
for me as a 12 year old who wants to get into rotax and others, it is hard and near impossible, my relatives thinks it is cringe, not only that but its way too expensive, thats why i stick to rental karting.
i also dont wear any sort of protective gear, they do have some leather "helmets" that are made of soft padding and leather, it looks like one of these f1 1956 helmets, but its all leather.
Thank u Ktips to use my suggestion ❤
It was a great suggestion!
I wanted to ask about rib protection, but there's already a lot of comments here regarding this piece of equipment. Myself, I've never been in an accident hard enough to consider buying it, but other guys on my track wear it. However, if your track has bad surface, it might be useful.
One more thing, prior to a racing suit if you can't afford one yet. Not a piece of specific equipment, but still - a long-sleeve shirt. Protects your elbows from bruising after hitting the barriers.
Hello man.... Really helpful video but is it possible to tell me the model of the suit?
Also all the other equipment (except from the helmet) is FIA approved?
Awesome breakdown.
I just bought my son a MT Helmet for £40.00 - I wasnt sure what I might receive for that price, but it arrived yesterday and it is incredible value for money. Hard to believe it only cost 40 quid!
Also, what about neck braces? With my son being so young a neck brace was one of the first things we bought, to distribute the weight of a helmet evenly across his shoulders, as well as to absorb any impacts.. and rib protector too, surely a rib protector is more essential than the right boots, which are more about performance?
A video about how to take consecutive hairpin turns. 👍🏽
Never get in kart without kneepads to protect inside of knees ! On my second set in 18 so they do last !! 😊
I'm considering a Race Suit for karting, but where do you usually change clothes? At the track or already from home before leaving?
I prefer to change inside the changing room at the track
Brother i have a Go kart challenge two weeks later,it is time challenge and we wil be driving Sodi GT3 Kart.Track is very far so how should i practice and what should i do in this two weeks before the tournament?
Hey! If you’re not able to drive at the track try to watch any onboard videos of the track to understand the layout. Additionally check out the track map (google maps satellite view) to visualize and create a racing line which you want to follow during the race. This should be done for a qualifying scenario, an overtaking scenario and also a defending scenario.
gloves -> rib protection -> other.
also, i wanna say this. some people might say that their ribs will feel painful at the end of a kart session. you shoulda included the rib protector in this video
For race karts I understand! But in rentals, you should use that pain to strengthen your ribs!
yup @@kartingtips
@@kartingtips😳
I’m disagree. If you have rib protector, you can load external wheels more aggressive. Without pain.
@@antoniosamaranchi3223 My last Karting coach discouraged rib protectors! In fact he never wore a rib protector even in Rotax Karts 😆His influence is rubbing off on me 😂
@@kartingtips strong man… He should get in one of our races, he will change his opinion ))
It’s so hard to choose
Okay, now, give me money
Haha, that's the problem 😆
Personally I prefer omp
I really want to get into professional karting but I don't know how to start (I have been in rental karts many times) please help if you can
Great question! The first step to getting into pro karting is deciding on a championship. Rotax & IAME are some of the top championships in the world but it depends on which country you live in. These championships require you to join a team and buy your own kart. There will be a season calendar for these championships and incentives for the winners (e.g ticket to Rotax World Finals). The key is practice regularly and join a championship which you would eventually want to win. This will be your best chance to get recognized and hopefully sign sponsors to support your journey.
Start with a huge amount of money in your account 😁
@@kartingtipsI can shorten that paragraph, if you live in the UK go for Rotax. If you live anywhere else in the world, IAME is for you 🤣
