Next: Can an inexperienced karter break a F1 lap record?
only if he's trained by an Formula One e-Sports Champion
Can he survive 1 lap ?
Ooooh, I wouldn't mind giving that one a go but I think i'd first have to do some personal weight reduction. XD
Can he keep the engine from stalling and get to the track?
Ayeee I’m 1k
FunFact: Of the 12 longest outdoor kart tracks in Germany, all 12 record lap holders (7 individual drivers) became at least F1 test drivers, 1 making it into F1, Michael Schumacher.
I am Holding 3 Records indoor in germany😐
@@joey-a.2412 I'm holding a lap record here in the UK
@@joey-a.2412 was offizielles oder halt in ner halle mal ne gute zeit gefahren ? :D
@@n8wolf575 weißt du was indoor bedeutet?😂
@@joey-a.2412 ja. in einem gebäude. wieso denkst du ich weiss das nicht ? und beantworte meine frage xD
Get Lando or Ocon to do a lap. Ocon did say you can call him at anytime in the Abu Dhabi IBR
TheCarThot ^^^ I’d love to see some videos with Ocon
Really loved this video,I wish you could make a series of such videos
Ocon is so hated in the Netherlands lol. Dutch fans still being salty from Brazil last year lmao
And with Ocon signing with Renault, he's going to be sorta close, too.
he didn't have a job that time though
Can an F1 test driver convince his team to bring the F1 car to an indoor kart track???
Sounds like a plausible RedBull video
call Christian Horner
It would serve literally no purpose. Track is too tight even for a supermini. Those shit karts would probably beat something like a Ford ka round that track
@@craig855s That's the joke 😒

"Is somebody who almost certainly started off karting, and was good enough to end up as an F1 driver, good at karting?" Well I don't fucking know, can I phone a friend?
They are different things
@@f1fan463 they are, but he did climb the driver ladder because of his achievements in karting. If he would have failed there, he wouldn't be F2 driver now. He drove kart very successful for 10 years after all.
i came here to write this, thank you for saving me from writing a slightly longer sentence!
@@f1fan463 Max Verstappen and his dad Jos Verstappen started both at the karting circuit
but issa record
POV: you’re here after Williams brings in Jack for Bahrain
Yes shame he didn't beat latifi in quali
Yes!
He is basically the reason why George lost
@@exxtortggs757 nah Mercedes are the pit stop was not needed as they had mad pace
@@liam_-wb5pk yea but they Just go to box because of jacks crash
Plot twist:
Matt: Does a donut
Jack: Actually, it’s breaktime Matt...
ㅡ . ㅡ
Matt = 1.4 seconds off an F2 driver...
Matt is quicker than Raghunathan confirmed
I legit think that most sim racers could get that seat and be quicker than Ragunathan.
Noone of us needs to br told "You need to turn the steering wheel"
Unfortunately he brings a lot of money in
*All hail Lord Raghunathan!*
Being quick is just one part. You have to improve the car as well
@@javi6898 he aint doing that either mate
Matt's energy was so great. The disappointment and then the screams of happiness. You can tell he was really enjoying it! Love the WTF1 Vids!
4:58 Let me introduce: "THE VETTEL"
Louis Bieswal 😂😂😂
Ahahahhahahahahah
As a Vettel fan.. trollollolololololololol
We dont do donuts here Matt
Jakob bruh it's only a joke
Who’s here after it was announced Jack is driving for Williams this weekend?
Everyone liked that
I really hope Jack enters F1 soon!!
lol no way he will
@@princepsregem4006 I guess we will have to wait and see
Ocon took the prize
@@DeuPKay this didnt age well
If he didn't switch to Williams driver academy from Renault then he could be in that seat right now but sadly it could've Been anthonie hubert
1 week left people 1 week! Just stay alive until next Friday
khjfreddy we will all survive!!

RIP
I cant wait! I am looking so forward to see Max challenge Lewis in the Dcc

Next episode: Jimmy Broadbent attempts to beat the lap record round the Nurburgring in a go kart
Super GT would kill this record in one lap though
ua-cam.com/video/W4T3BMCO6OU/v-deo.html
right here
@YMB I'm not on UA-cam everyday. I've seen people comment months after the video has dropped. Does that upset you? Does it get your panties in a bunch? Maybe try getting a life?
I have a friend who drove in indy lights that showed up to a K1 and murdered the record within 6 laps. People dont get how good these guys are!
Are we gonna call that a failed donut or a celebration half spin? :D
We are gonna call that a normal weekend for vettel
Petition to change the title to "Can An F1 Driver Break A Karting Lap Record?"
Scince the safety car, that caused George to box, was caused by him, I don't wat to sign it.
Jack seems like a great sport. Always having a laugh in interviews and such. I really hope he can become consistent in F2, and get a good run at an F1 seat.
what are you calling a person "a sport"
That’s like asking if Robert kubica can finish last
He's a great driver. It's just the car.
Ruairi Lane your my STAR of the day!
✌️❤️😁
@@mabra33
He was a great driver, unfortunately not anymore. Russel's performances show that.
@@mabra33 roky destroys him
Max Verstappen he was a great driver 10 years ago. But it’s not 10 years ago it’s 2019 and he’s slow as fuck
Jack is so calm and collected every time, professional too, wish someone would give him an F1 seat, no doubt he'd finish steadily at the top of midfield.
Great content. Do more of this!
Imagine being the former record holder coming back to brag about it and they tell him that a Formula 2/ Formula 1 test driver beat the record.
I think if my record was broken by less than a tenth by one of the 40 best drivers in the world my ego would be just fine.
My friend who works there said he had the lap record so he's definitely fuming 😂😂
@@maxibarlow26 haha..... never take knife to a gunfight.....that dude used everything in front of him perfectly
@@jchamber73 The reality is that with time, and if the track conditions were not optimal, he probably had a fair bit more pace in him.
@@tcroft2165 I know. I figured that he just stopped because he beat it. I'm sure that if Aitken was really serious he'd probably shave off a couple of tenths.
Little tip if you lean to the outside of the corner (without tipping the kart) you can increase your cornering speed from the outside wheel getting weight on it and traction
4:45 he should have said ‘get in there Matt’
'The track conditions downstairs and completely different to when I came a month ago' - Matt 2019
Matt is like any of us, trying to nail everything and wonder why we are 2 secs off
its just the weight on those karts. 10kg are 1 second more a lap.
@@EmilFitness no its not.
@@EmilFitness It isn't the weight, it's the tyres.
Both of these would have been with brand new rubber. Freshly serviced calipers.
You get a pinched caliper or absolutely less than brand spanking new rubber and instantly 3 seconds off the pace. Just the caliper, a pro could drive that to around 1.5 seconds off. But you will never ever drive around used kart rubber. That's what makes even karting expensive now. Rich kids go out on every round with new rubber.
@@dons1932 what calipers means? the balance?
@@EmilFitness Calipers are the things you see through wheels. They sandwich the brake pads onto the rotor which is how you brake.
Often wondered how much better they are than most people given the talent pool in motorsport is so small. Obviously it's still a very high level at the top. Well done Jack!
I absolutely love this idea. I went karting for the first time in my life recently and it was amazing. Gave me a reason to lose some weight 😅
How was the day after? hahaha.
@@hb-kw4mr 3 bruised ribs after quite heavy contact with the wall, but still great
@@RedVarg91 I asked cause everytime I go, the next day feels like I had a massive work out, haha
karting not carting...
@@muzza_r There, fixed. Thx spellchecker.
I love to see this because this is my usual karting company. (I go to the one in Cardiff just about to go actually)
Tem Radio:
"Get in there Jack! What a mental lap was that."
Anyone remember how Ocon was going to do some vids? Maybe a casual Aitken v Ocon?
Milly Hubbard now that they’re both Renault drivers
I do really love your videos, very good made, very good insights from a pro, a lot of fun!! ♥♥♥
Kind regards from Austria,
Christian
EDIT: Congrats to the record!! Really nice driving and expkaining!! THX for this!!
Fun watching! Something I never done looks addictive..lol!
Matthew, I was buzzing when you beat that time, honestly, nicely done Bro.
At my home track in Delft(The Netherlands) We always have a few karts that are faster than normal but when a F1 driver came with a big event, he would get the best kart, repaired, fixed with the right tire pressure and made sure to be even faster than the normal karts to make sure they would get the track record in the few laps they would drive. After the event we would take the kart for a spin we would also go alot faster than the old record.
Though i do have to applaud that they can get adjusted to the track very fast and get the racing lines right, but beating the dudes that drives there a few days a week for years with over 10000 laps is a different story :P.
100% it's over exaggerated. Most track I go to I can get within 4 tenths or so of lap records. Only recently I got fastest lap of the month at a track then. Switched to another kart to go and break it by another 5 tenths. If the karts were optimised I have no doubt it would be broken fairly quickly
@@armymanalI'll back that up. I am normally under 5 tenths within 20 laps but still the two biggest factors at indoor places like these are the rider weight and the kart. Everyone knows certain karts are faster than others, not like these are being maintained by anything other than minimum wage kids or being examined by F1 authorities.
Did some good lines, Matty - I was surprised! 😎🏁
I saw jack on the thumbnail.
There was nothing else i could do but clicking on it
Should get the Haas drivers in. They'd be chuffed having so much power for a change :D
Matt: "We'll be using a 4 stroke Sodi RT8"
*sees a bizkart logo on the wheel*
me: "wait"
This is the UA-cam Feel good buddy comedy of the year with practical racing advice! Can’t wait for you to get Lando, Max, DanRic, or Kimi on track! The Finnish firecracker would slice and dice the slippery sections like a figure skater on speed.
Get in there, Matt.
You are the man. YOU ARE THE MAN.
great can't wait for the karting advice!
I have been doing lessons there for 2 years now this is so cool
I'd like to see a video of a heavier F1 driver or test driver, if one exists, and see how the line changes. Entertaining video, I'll check out your others.
More of this pleaseeee
Well Jack broke the track record at TT Assen circuit during the Gamma Racing Day in The Netherlands on Saturday
Can’t wait to see jack in f1
I used to have record for cadets there!
As the tyres get warm on that type of surface huge time can be found - my experience at TeamSport tracks.
First time youtube actually recommends something I've watched already.
That was great fun! Thankyou
Suspect the track is the cleanest it's ever been, with a kart in the best condition it's ever been!?
The test drivers incar commentary was really good to hear.
Maybe do a bit on how driver weight affects lap time and where it affects it the most and possible ways around it.
People acting like they finished the vid after 3 minutes..
can wait for the next video!
Love the ClubSpeed Software!
You should have asked Carlos Drives to do it
Probably could be there pretty quick if Carlos Flies
Now Carlos whines because he wasn't invited.
@@Marco-ym8ry A shame, really, if only Carlos Tries
@@konquerer This video still is full of Carlos vibes.
Pretty damn good Matt. You drive quite well!
4:39 Get in there, Matty.
Good video dude.😃👍
Matt that’s not a Sodi RT8 mate... they’re BizKart NG1’s :)
Seing a track on floors like that is so weird to me. Here in germany all the indoor tracks have asphalt floors
doesnt that place burn through a lot of tires then?
it would be a lot more grippy for sure but indoor cart tracks are mostly made with these semi slick floors.
@@MRdeLaat Yeah sure, they propably use loads more tires, even though they use harder ones that dont degrade as much. But the grip is pretty great and in my opinion what makes Karting fun
And i really dont think I have ever seen these slippery floors anywhere in germany.
Not all
@@EdiEdi-mu2gf alright, i stand corrected 😅. The vast majority, though. I have been to around 10 all across germany and they all had asphalt
Was laberst du für eine Grütze? Das stimmt ja mal so null...
3:13 that smile on the "remove last lap" button lol
I did this near Boston. I passed everyone and used every thing that cart had. I didn't even come close to the record. My arms were shot by the end of the day. I remember thinking if the steering wheel was just slightly larger in diameter, apexing would be a lot easier and the cart would be less quirky during recovery. Next time, I'll bring my own steering wheel.
1:10 love that
when u r unhappy after how u had to keep squatting up and down for the last video and gives him a hard time
Gabriel Ong that actually came off as quite rude by wtf1 to be honest
5:59 "f*ck all grip there" 😂😂
What a nice guy! Go Jack.
His first GP in F1 after an hour.... They grow up so fast...
Wasn't until Jack said - 'He's not quite maximising the corner there' that I detected a Scottish accent - good man Jack carry on the flag from the 16 previous Scottish F1 drivers combined of course with the Ying Yang of SK.
This is top tier content.
I’m so glad I worked with tourists so I got that on your bike reference.
Cannot believe the algorithm has taken this long to bring me here. I live 1.5 miles from this track and have driven it a few times. It is so frustrating if you get the entrance to the climbs wrong as you watch your lap time disappear.
Jack pulls it out of the bag and didn't know he had smashed it, he was lining up a better lap.
Sadly enough the “lap record” was 4 seconds off the actual lap record, this track is Teamsport Reading in UK, the best is 53.3 not 57
Great video
What's so impressive is Jack beat the lap record on a green track!
Keep on doing it at reading ive karted there many times
I don't know much about karting, which may show this to be an ignorant comment, but I had no idea there were tracks like that. That looks effing awesome! And a brilliant use of space.
JACK'S BACK!
That track looks fun as hell
Should come here to spain.. To the Carlos Sainz karting center.. Carlos himself has the record... 😂
If I lived near a karting center like that'd I'd have some type of membership
I have been there so many times that bottom bit has 0 grip it painfully bad
It's also the weight. I set a record time of 1.16.9 at a local outdoors 1240m track when I weighed 87 kg, and now I am doing 1.21 seconds at 110 kg... same lines, same model kart, same conditions. It's around 1 sec down per 10kg.
did you watch the other video where they compared times with and without weight
my brother and I have been meaning to compete against each other at karting, so I can't wait for the next video... tough I hope he doesn't see it!
do buckmore park next with 2 stroke 100mph things
100mph lol more like 60mph max
4:40 just beating random lap record and reacts like this can you imagine matt gets pole position in f1 I cant imagine his reaction XD
He didn't break any record :D It was just target lap time he was supposed to beat, 1,5 seconds of the actual record. But it's all about the fun.
@@tommy4862 I couldnt remember target lap time when Im writing that why I said random lap record yea u're right target lap
I need Karting tips asap!!!! Karting when I get back from Belgium, so about 2 weeks. :)
i was here a couple days back and its hard on a track full of people to go sub 60s
Aitken is a likable young driver. Would like to see him make it to F1 and mix it up with Norris and Albon.
I love when it’s “slippery downstairs”
Teamsport Reading is an *ELITE* indoor go kart track
If u look into the member events this circuit has to offer then it a real good evening with competitive racing
This was cool. What an experience
Your name confused the hell out of me when it came up! Haha!
On these indoor teamsport tracks you ALWAYS go faster and faster as the plastic tyres slowly start getting some heat lol. MattyG is pretty good though.
Yeah they have to have some getting used too I go to the teamsport track in Warrington only been a couple times but I know what you mean
Oooh, don't wait too long with the next episode, I need tips.
Big fan 😍. Looked for you at the british GP, but that place is packed.
Max Verstappen same
Wow they use Clubspeed just like Autobahn Indoor Speedway to track the lap times. Can tell by the UI
This course is tough!
