@@NootNooot The problem is, it's not meant for pro carters. It's made for normies to come and enjoy the F1 experience. The yellows are to help the normies keep safe, not the pros. The majority of people will enjoy the F1 experience but the pros will be driven crazy, literally.
My local indoor track has 10 minute sessions at $14 per session. I participated in a 3 hour endurance race there for $40. Idk the $100 for 30 mins is really steep. Maybe its worth it just for the experience but you might as well just dip your toes into competitive karting for the amount of money you spend for your time.
It looks like the karts are configured to automatically slow down X seconds after the yellow flag and accelerate X seconds after green flag. However, some karts seems off of sync, the time spent with the speed limiter is the same for all of you, but it happens in different moments, there's no an advanced system doing this. You kart slows down like a second before P2's kart, on the other hand, your Kart returns to green flag a second before than him. Same applies to some other drivers if you notice it. Karts that are slowed down first, accelerate first. Again, it's the same slow down time for all of you, but not rightly synced. They should calibrate it better so all karts slow down and accelerate at the same time.
Yeah I highly doubt it's some advanced VSC system that computed the advantage gained, it's just a glitch and a shit system. The whole thing is a grift to scam people with more money than sense to pay $100 for an "F1 kart experience" LOL
yeah it's 100% this. Kart tracks near me that don't have nearly as much money invested into them manage to get race yellows and restarts in sync. so idk how high scale track haven't got it right
I've been here and this is the exact issue. I lost a lot of places due to this fact and was very frustrating. It's all new tech so hopefully it will get updated in time
I think it's a bit of this, possibly bad system... Possibly best that all karts do not slow down at the same time to avoid even more spins or bumps, or whatever.. giving people time to react to traffic. Also, perhaps it is in relation to the distance of the incident.. Idk. I'm sure it's a methodical reason or a bad programming team... 😑🙃
Hey, I work at a karting track that (I assume) has the same type of system that F1 Kart has. Basically, the karts all have antennas that connect to a central server (AKA a router), and that router connects to a tablet or PC that controls the speed of the karts. For us it's a tablet and we control the speeds manually, I assume this track has a lot more going automatically. I think what was going on is the simple fact of their server speeds can't keep up with the demand of the information being sent to the karts (When it gets a command to speed up/slow down) so it isn't able to send the command to all the karts at the same time. Although I don't know for sure if that's the case here, we did have that issue a few months ago and remedied it by, instead of using a server rented to us by the company that ran the karting software, just made a local server that runs on our local network. Much faster that way!
This is true! And another big problem with this system is The track is split in sectors and timing lines with The system of tomkart we had this same issues… when pushed yellow By The Marshalls each kart crosing a sector line Will get yellow speed limit and karts that Just crossed the line didn’t respond until The next line even if there was already green. This resulted in the same examples as shown in this video where some karts drive past you during yellow and some drove slow when Green which means that some people bump again and that resulted in more yellow. Seen the karts they use here and it looks a lot like the TomKart system but a bit modified. Personally I hated this system by its stupidity one of the pro’s of this system was the easy way of controlling the karting track!
The track I work on has a speed fob that marshals can press to control speeds. The fob has speeds 1-4 and a stop button for emergencies and it works instantly. I think it would be better if a marshal has control of it rather than it being an automated system as it works instantly. There's probably one person controlling the speeds and yellow flags through the tracking system (Probably SMS) on a computer and pressing it on the computer rather than the direct speed fob and is bound to have delays and that's the flaw.
No its is not the problem of amount of data the server needs to process, this should be fairly lightweight. I think problem is in networking and bad routing implementation. If the carts are connected to WIFI mesh every couple of seconds they need to change the access point and im sure there is the problem. If the flag system were controlled by radio signal this would work much better.
@@StlPro I agree, usually it's all bulked into wifi connection for development purposes but it's a cheap solution, critical information when wifi isnt reliable should be transmitted by radio. Could also be that the desync is caused from different access points between sectors (which is a bad but possible solution)

Anyway, amazing video Cam! 🔥 🥇 👌
I think I understand the yellow system's fault: The system cuts power to the kart whenever the yellows are active. Any car in an accelerating portion of the track is at a massive disadvantage to a kart in a braking portion of the track. And also the timings are clearly faulty. To do it properly you would need to limit each kart during and momentarily after yellows and make sure they reach an ending delta withing +/-20% of their starting delta.
OR: They tried to implement the 'proper' method mentioned earlier but the polling rate of the deltas collected is so low that the deltas are inaccurate, which would explain the different slow down times for each driver.
@@petef15 I doubt it is doing a delta time. When I've been in electric karts, it's just a drop in power when they go yellow. Hopefully, even if the karts don't react at the same time the lag is consistent for each kart so that if you slowed down 1 or 2 seconds before another driver you also speed up 1 or 2 seconds earlier, too.
Great video! Footage looks great and loved the editing :D I think this place is over priced for what it is but if you're able to get a full grid of competitive racers, I reckon it would be a good bit of fun. Interested to see how that played out in the next video. The amount of yellows in public sessions just make it a really frustrating experience. Especially how the transition to green flag isn't consistent across karts. As you said, "this yellow flag system is clapped" 😂
I believe that if the yellow system affects your kart first, the green track will also respond quicker than the others. Say for example there is a yellow, the system slows A down before slowing B down, I think that when it turns green, the system speeds A up before speeding B up
Dude it must be SO tempting for the Tottenham players to not go Kart racing immediately after training every single day. Especially since it gives them the opportunity to actually win something.
I was thinking of booking a session. Butt I can get 45 mins of racing for £50. Also I can get a race academy session which is 2 normal 15 min sessions. Teamsport is much better for price.
Hey! Great video, we kept talking about trying this place but tbh we won't bother until they fix these issues. I like the idea of the karts slowing down themselves on yellows, keeps it fair. IF they all slowed down /sped up at the SAME TIME. This is ridiculous
would be nice if the lap traffic cars received some type of communication warning that faster cars were coming up behind them. so many seemed to be unaware of their surroundings. I get its just for fun, but it can really take away from the overall experience when theyre in the way and holding up traffic.
I would probably do that as a one time thing, but it doesn't look like I would make it my regular track if I had a choice. My hometown track does four 7 minute races for about $70 and Mondays are unlimited racing for $60. It's gas powered karts that generally have a bit of oversteer and the track is a bit more open, limiting the amount of yellows. Also, as cool as the race suits look, I really have no interest in wearing one for indoor karting unless it is actually cold in the building. They don't really protect anything but do make it a much sweatier endeavor.
The yellow flag system was desynchronised probably, because you would stop later, so start quicker, so the gap would eventually stay pretty much the same.
There is definitely no danger of me ever karting here. The track/ speed ratio is paramount. Sorry, but I've driven one of these electric karts recently and I prefer petrol. Also the track is micky mouse. Save a bundle of money and try the Teamsport Birmingham venue. Junction 2 on the M5. If you're heading outdoors, try Whilton Mill or thruxton. Because if that place is the future of karting its time for me to hang up my helmet
if i spend over $100 for a half hour and they yellow flag that much im walking out, no indoor karting places let you actually push your potential its wack
Good ones do. The problem I see here is that the track is basically two car widths wide so any mistake puts someone in the wall. I also question if the yellow was really needed if it is over in just a few seconds since that doesn't seem like a case of a track worker pushing a car back.
Please no. I wouldn't want artificial sounds that don't actually correspond with what the kart is doing. I definitely don't need to be using paddles or worse, be with already slow drivers who now add poor shifting to their repertoire of problems.
i think you are way too nice about the yellow flag situation. i mean that's race, not a random number simulator. i would expect everything to be as fair as possible
The graphics and the technology at F1 drive is genuinely insane. But like you said the yellow flag system was really cracked and even if you slightly brush the wall yellow flag. Even the restart after the yellow flag all the kart timings on when you can use full throttle is different. Otherwise the f1 Drive is a good experience and feels like actual Formula 1 with DRS and ERS in these Karts.
It seems like the Yellow flag system just has variable reaction/lag times for the karts. Your cart was the first to be slowed, allowing someone to pass you under yellow. But it seemed to also allow you to accelerate away quicker with approximately the same delay for the others. That is what you used to your advantage more in the race itself. As long as the yellow is the same length for everyone then theoretically it is a similar overall Green/Yellow ratio for everyone. And as with any track, and real F1, where on the track you are and what traffic you have when a yellow/VSC hits can have variable impacts on your lap times or intervals to other racers. But at the same time, there is no legitimate reason for it to be different for different carts. What they should do is have each kart have its own synchronized clock, down to the millisecond should be very do-able for consumer level electronics package. And on a regular basis the clock gets synchronized to the official race clock. Maybe even every lap if it passes near some kind of detection/calibration point. That way, when certain events which get pushed to the kart's control system like "Yellow Mode", "Green Mode" etc can also be sent with a specific time stamp when they are to occur in the future, which accounts for the lag in getting the message to the karts. For example, when the "stewards" hit the green flag button, after the yellow has cleared, at race time 02 mins, 00 sec, 00 ms, it also attaches a timestamp that it should be triggered at 02 mins, 02 sec, 00 ms (2 seconds in the future). So as long as all karts have synchronized clocks, and all karts receive the message within 2 seconds of it being pushed out, then they will all speed up at exactly the same moment. It doesn't matter if kart 1 gets the message at 02:00:05, and kart 10 gets it at 02:01:50, both karts (and everyone in-between) will speed up at exactly the same moment, 02:02:00. This is easier to do with the green restart, since you theoretically have as much time as you need. You could add a 5 second delay and it wouldn't necessarily change the flow of the race much. You could even put a countdown on the screen so the smart drivers could try and position themselves for it. It is harder to implement on the Green to Yellow transition, because in that case you want to slow them all as fast as possible for safety reasons. If, like you observed, it might take 1-2 seconds for the notification to reach all karts, then you would have to delay the yellow flag warning to all karts by the same 2+ seconds, to ensure that it is activated at the same moment. Maybe that is why it is not done this way, because you're theoretically allowing karts to continue in green mode 2+ seconds after the stewards have identified a safety concern. Plenty of time for a kart to round a corner and plow into someone stalled in the middle of the track at full speed. Exactly the kind of thing it is trying to avoid.
I think the "virtual safety car" is good. Everytime you complained about the yellow slowing you down more it looked like you got the power back before the others. When you lost a place to yellow flag, you also got power back earlier and passed them when you got green.
But the problem with staggering the restarts between karts is it can give certain people an advantage depending on where in the track they’re turned back up. Like you wouldn’t want your speed turned up while entering a brake zone for example. That’s why F1/F2/F3 VSC just turns everyone “on and off” yellow at precisely the same time. Then it’s up to the driver to maintain the time delta to the car in front with a readout on the dash.
I would assume they are blasting commands over the network for the caution system. The problem with that is each kart is getting it at different times as the network processes it all. The command should be sent with a specific time to initiate the caution. They need to sync all Karts to the same time(common in work environments) and then issue the command with a half second delay with a specific time stamp. This allows all karts sufficient time for the network to deliver the command to each kart, and the karts simply enter caution mode at the same time rather than by who got the command first.
Sounds to me like the yellow flag system targets each car individually and sequentially, so while you hit the yellow first, you also hit the green first. Since it was consistent that also implies that the order of the cars isn't changing - more consistent expectations. Probably something that should be included in the rundown for how the yellows work.
I think it was just a timing issue. The time for the flag is applyed the same to everyone but it starts in different times. We hasve the case of someone where the flag has started before and a case when the flag has started after. The firts one guy flag will finish before the second guy. The time range is the same but the tifference is the start of it i think.
A mate of mine said recently we should go and try this instead of going to our local tracks, but I showed him this video. He changed his mind quickly and we done two 30 mins sessions for £20 cheaper
Looks like a more advanced version of the Andretti karting outside Houston, that was a yellow flag festival as well and the karts were just not fast enough. Not worth the time and money.
Look like a live action videogame racing on an open AMS2 lobby. Something that everybody should do once in a lifetime... but maybe not twice lol. Thank you for this video... cheers!
I think it slows the cars down in an order and then resume them in the same order. You can see the cars that slow down after you, and then you speed up before they do. Thats my best guess at least. Doesnt look random...
16:10 i think that the input of the yellow flag in your cart gets registered before and so also the green flag gets registered before maybe you lus a position but also gain 1 still this is a problem and iz not difficult to solve so i Hope they solve this problem soon
Maybe when yellow start, you cannot overpass, so you car should not start working until the guy you overpassed is ahead again, would make it more competitive, because I think yellow is regulation, have to happen because of safety, risks, etc etc
Al final el P2 se queja de que tras las banderas amarillas te alejabas, pero no se queja de que se acercaba JAJAJA El sistema funciona de la siguiente manera: Te retiene "x" segundos. A ti te retenía antes, pero te dejaba libre antes.
Oh man, the amount of traffic you had was insane, when I went for a late evening session everyone was MUCH closer on pace. The yellow flag issue was still there though unfortunately
i was with my company at a indoor karting track few weeks ago in Kista, in a underground garage. super nice, first time driving electric. but they felt like a normal good condition petrol kart. and it was no problem hiting max speed after 60% of the longest straight with a long right bend, no need to break. just have the correct line.. that felt a bit sad. other than that is was super nice, no ERS or DRS bullshit and not one single yellow flag for 3 hours we drove. A, B and C grp with A, B and C final. so in general electric cars are ok, with a big nice display telling your lap times and stint time on the track and place in the qualify and race´s, but i was not impressed. Best thing, everyone at my company are all 25 IT tech geek F1 nerds and i can brag with my gold medal from the A final.
Looks to me like the yellow flag system is set to make sure everyone is limited for the same duration. So you might well be going to a yellow flag sooner, but you also have full power back sooner too 🤔 How does the DRS actually work? Is it just a boost based on the gap to the car ahead, or is it actually dumping drag somehow?
I've been here and although the experience was fantastic, I was let down by the yellow flag system on many occasions. I found this to be very frustrating and it cost me 2 places finally finishing in third. I found that my kart would slow and others could speed off.... Some at leat half a lap ahead. One thing to note is that this is still relatively new so has a few niggles here and there. I'll be visiting again in a few months and hoping the creases have been ironed out. Also, the ERS & DRS seemed to be inconsistent. The racing was fun but for those who know about karting, you feel somewhat left out that you can't race to your full potential
I am not an expert but I think the yellow flag system is either related to the mechanisms within the car, or the more a car is ahead, the earlier it can accelerate to prevent cascades
You were saying that there was telemetry to tell you how far ahead and behind the next car was, right? If that is a fact, then when the yellow is triggered the program would recall that relative gap. like if the car is 2.5 seconds behind you when the yellow is triggered but it coasts right up behind you, the program will give the appropriate gap back to the leading car when the green flag waves. Does this make sense? It makes sense in my head anyway.
My uneducated guess (and pardons if someone else has already mentioned this) is that the yellow flag system engages/re-engages each car 'in (current?) grid order', vice simultaneously, which (I'm thinking) causes the stagger. Additionally... if I were marshaling the heat, I would've restarted the grid, due to the blue driver that jumped the start (despite it being an 'Arrive and Drive' rental situation, vice a League race). No sleight on the driver's obvious skill, but a fair start is a fair start. Anyways, great vid - thanks for sharing. Cheers!
even though its 8 mins and a very short track indoors it is pretty cool with all the lights and e karts reaching speeds of 25mph *gravityMAX liverpool*
I think that their thing is to put immersive simulators for rent and not a go kart, many people go without having any idea of driving one but they go at full speed without caring about the others and boom yellow flags, this in a simulator, it is much less harmful to others. I only tried the go kart once in my life and it was a horrible experience since the one I went to had everything super controlled and they slowed me down making others pass me, there really was no reason to slow me down since I only had 1 brush. And I didn't crash on any lap but for some reason they did, making me come second to last. Curiously, all positions remained practically the same as they were at the start of the race.
If you noticed every time you lost time when the yellow came out you then gain on the green flag. And those that gained at the yellow lost on the green. Clever system.Keeps it interesting

@@petef15 I doubt it is doing a delta time. When I've been in electric karts, it's just a drop in power when they go yellow. Hopefully, even if the karts don't react at the same time the lag is consistent for each kart so that if you slowed down 1 or 2 seconds before another driver you also speed up 1 or 2 seconds earlier, too.
Great video! Footage looks great and loved the editing :D
I think this place is over priced for what it is but if you're able to get a full grid of competitive racers, I reckon it would be a good bit of fun. Interested to see how that played out in the next video.
The amount of yellows in public sessions just make it a really frustrating experience. Especially how the transition to green flag isn't consistent across karts. As you said, "this yellow flag system is clapped" 😂
The stare P2 gave that dummy in the middle of the track 19:07 pure gold hahahahahahahah 😂
haha i noticed that too 🤣🤣🤣
10:36
Lando Norris in Jeddah moment
I believe that if the yellow system affects your kart first, the green track will also respond quicker than the others. Say for example there is a yellow, the system slows A down before slowing B down, I think that when it turns green, the system speeds A up before speeding B up
Man I wish rental karting places where I live had tracks this big all the places here have really short tracks
Dude it must be SO tempting for the Tottenham players to not go Kart racing immediately after training every single day. Especially since it gives them the opportunity to actually win something.
I don’t watch football, but I have a feeling this is pretty savage 😂😂
I was thinking of booking a session. Butt I can get 45 mins of racing for £50. Also I can get a race academy session which is 2 normal 15 min sessions. Teamsport is much better for price.
Lol, teamsport is terrible, ever been punted under those tyre barriers? Half of their tracks are falling apart. Trust me I know.
You don't know shit@@rumelahmed4539
Yo I finally listen Cameron speaking spanish I'm from mexico and in the configuration I can change it to spanish
😮
Hey! Great video, we kept talking about trying this place but tbh we won't bother until they fix these issues. I like the idea of the karts slowing down themselves on yellows, keeps it fair. IF they all slowed down /sped up at the SAME TIME. This is ridiculous
I LOVE watching your karting videos
would be nice if the lap traffic cars received some type of communication warning that faster cars were coming up behind them. so many seemed to be unaware of their surroundings. I get its just for fun, but it can really take away from the overall experience when theyre in the way and holding up traffic.
Ya that’s a good point. The tech is definitely there to automate some kind of blue flag system on the dash.
I would probably do that as a one time thing, but it doesn't look like I would make it my regular track if I had a choice. My hometown track does four 7 minute races for about $70 and Mondays are unlimited racing for $60. It's gas powered karts that generally have a bit of oversteer and the track is a bit more open, limiting the amount of yellows. Also, as cool as the race suits look, I really have no interest in wearing one for indoor karting unless it is actually cold in the building. They don't really protect anything but do make it a much sweatier endeavor.
The yellow flag system was desynchronised probably, because you would stop later, so start quicker, so the gap would eventually stay pretty much the same.
There is definitely no danger of me ever karting here. The track/ speed ratio is paramount. Sorry, but I've driven one of these electric karts recently and I prefer petrol.
Also the track is micky mouse.
Save a bundle of money and try the Teamsport Birmingham venue. Junction 2 on the M5.
If you're heading outdoors, try Whilton Mill or thruxton. Because if that place is the future of karting its time for me to hang up my helmet
if i spend over $100 for a half hour and they yellow flag that much im walking out, no indoor karting places let you actually push your potential its wack
Good ones do. The problem I see here is that the track is basically two car widths wide so any mistake puts someone in the wall. I also question if the yellow was really needed if it is over in just a few seconds since that doesn't seem like a case of a track worker pushing a car back.
11:42 dive bomb perfection
The idea is there and seems great, but it 100% needs more time in the oven.
Engine sound and gear simulation could add more fun. Can play much more times than XRS buttons.
Too short off track for gears it would get annoying real quick
Please no. I wouldn't want artificial sounds that don't actually correspond with what the kart is doing. I definitely don't need to be using paddles or worse, be with already slow drivers who now add poor shifting to their repertoire of problems.
5:40 passes on yellow.
12:50 complains about others passing on yellow
Classic.
Are you stupid?
7:07 that’s where the price comes from tires ain’t cheap
i think you are way too nice about the yellow flag situation. i mean that's race, not a random number simulator. i would expect everything to be as fair as possible
The graphics and the technology at F1 drive is genuinely insane. But like you said the yellow flag system was really cracked and even if you slightly brush the wall yellow flag. Even the restart after the yellow flag all the kart timings on when you can use full throttle is different. Otherwise the f1 Drive is a good experience and feels like actual Formula 1 with DRS and ERS in these Karts.
It seems like the Yellow flag system just has variable reaction/lag times for the karts. Your cart was the first to be slowed, allowing someone to pass you under yellow. But it seemed to also allow you to accelerate away quicker with approximately the same delay for the others. That is what you used to your advantage more in the race itself.
As long as the yellow is the same length for everyone then theoretically it is a similar overall Green/Yellow ratio for everyone. And as with any track, and real F1, where on the track you are and what traffic you have when a yellow/VSC hits can have variable impacts on your lap times or intervals to other racers. But at the same time, there is no legitimate reason for it to be different for different carts.
What they should do is have each kart have its own synchronized clock, down to the millisecond should be very do-able for consumer level electronics package. And on a regular basis the clock gets synchronized to the official race clock. Maybe even every lap if it passes near some kind of detection/calibration point. That way, when certain events which get pushed to the kart's control system like "Yellow Mode", "Green Mode" etc can also be sent with a specific time stamp when they are to occur in the future, which accounts for the lag in getting the message to the karts.
For example, when the "stewards" hit the green flag button, after the yellow has cleared, at race time 02 mins, 00 sec, 00 ms, it also attaches a timestamp that it should be triggered at 02 mins, 02 sec, 00 ms (2 seconds in the future). So as long as all karts have synchronized clocks, and all karts receive the message within 2 seconds of it being pushed out, then they will all speed up at exactly the same moment. It doesn't matter if kart 1 gets the message at 02:00:05, and kart 10 gets it at 02:01:50, both karts (and everyone in-between) will speed up at exactly the same moment, 02:02:00.
This is easier to do with the green restart, since you theoretically have as much time as you need. You could add a 5 second delay and it wouldn't necessarily change the flow of the race much. You could even put a countdown on the screen so the smart drivers could try and position themselves for it. It is harder to implement on the Green to Yellow transition, because in that case you want to slow them all as fast as possible for safety reasons. If, like you observed, it might take 1-2 seconds for the notification to reach all karts, then you would have to delay the yellow flag warning to all karts by the same 2+ seconds, to ensure that it is activated at the same moment. Maybe that is why it is not done this way, because you're theoretically allowing karts to continue in green mode 2+ seconds after the stewards have identified a safety concern. Plenty of time for a kart to round a corner and plow into someone stalled in the middle of the track at full speed. Exactly the kind of thing it is trying to avoid.
this is the least racing vibes karting place i ever saw :D
I think the "virtual safety car" is good.
Everytime you complained about the yellow slowing you down more it looked like you got the power back before the others.
When you lost a place to yellow flag, you also got power back earlier and passed them when you got green.
But the problem with staggering the restarts between karts is it can give certain people an advantage depending on where in the track they’re turned back up. Like you wouldn’t want your speed turned up while entering a brake zone for example.
That’s why F1/F2/F3 VSC just turns everyone “on and off” yellow at precisely the same time. Then it’s up to the driver to maintain the time delta to the car in front with a readout on the dash.
I would assume they are blasting commands over the network for the caution system. The problem with that is each kart is getting it at different times as the network processes it all. The command should be sent with a specific time to initiate the caution. They need to sync all Karts to the same time(common in work environments) and then issue the command with a half second delay with a specific time stamp. This allows all karts sufficient time for the network to deliver the command to each kart, and the karts simply enter caution mode at the same time rather than by who got the command first.
Wanna become a F1 driver
Step 1 - Your Parents must be rich 😂
that's been a thing for decades at this point
@@Kirmo13sadly true
Lewis Hamilton begs to differ...
i can see Vegas being the next place to get something like this
@@hdvrNGF1 owns the pit building and land in Vegas, so they could easily do it.
For someone like me who has karted once and it was at an attraction park, an F1 drive looks so fire and I hope one comes near me
Sounds to me like the yellow flag system targets each car individually and sequentially, so while you hit the yellow first, you also hit the green first. Since it was consistent that also implies that the order of the cars isn't changing - more consistent expectations. Probably something that should be included in the rundown for how the yellows work.
true
I think it was just a timing issue. The time for the flag is applyed the same to everyone but it starts in different times. We hasve the case of someone where the flag has started before and a case when the flag has started after. The firts one guy flag will finish before the second guy. The time range is the same but the tifference is the start of it i think.
A mate of mine said recently we should go and try this instead of going to our local tracks, but I showed him this video. He changed his mind quickly and we done two 30 mins sessions for £20 cheaper
$100 is like a tank of gas, gallon of milk and a loaf of bread.
Looks like a more advanced version of the Andretti karting outside Houston, that was a yellow flag festival as well and the karts were just not fast enough. Not worth the time and money.
Look like a live action videogame racing on an open AMS2 lobby. Something that everybody should do once in a lifetime... but maybe not twice lol. Thank you for this video... cheers!
Cameron ITS HAMMER TIME GET IN THERE CAMERON GET IN THERE
if youre in germany some time soon try going to the motodrom hagen
its about 50secs on 16hp sodi karts
outdoor and really fun
I think it slows the cars down in an order and then resume them in the same order. You can see the cars that slow down after you, and then you speed up before they do. Thats my best guess at least. Doesnt look random...
16:10 i think that the input of the yellow flag in your cart gets registered before and so also the green flag gets registered before maybe you lus a position but also gain 1 still this is a problem and iz not difficult to solve so i Hope they solve this problem soon
Maybe when yellow start, you cannot overpass, so you car should not start working until the guy you overpassed is ahead again, would make it more competitive, because I think yellow is regulation, have to happen because of safety, risks, etc etc
Come to Singapore..it Called Hyper Drive Go-kart iPalawan beach, Sentosa, Singapore... the track similar to yours in London... Much cheaper
those are probably the cleanest rental karts i have seen
I love your videos i watch them everyday
Legend 👊
AHHHHHH NO WAY YOU REPLIEDDDD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH@@CameronDasRacing
Al final el P2 se queja de que tras las banderas amarillas te alejabas, pero no se queja de que se acercaba JAJAJA
El sistema funciona de la siguiente manera: Te retiene "x" segundos. A ti te retenía antes, pero te dejaba libre antes.
I am on the edge of my seat for this race. Fantastic video. Had more ads than yellow flags tho.
Come race at the Bahrain f1 track and the karting track right next to it, would make for an epic video 🔥
Agradezco ENORMEMENTE el audio en español!
Es un doblaje buenisimo!
Ademas, facilita demasiadas cosas y hasta mejora la experiencia, tkm
Awesome! How was the translation and everything? Did it sound accurate?
Realy Amazing how you did the Video in 4 Languages. I'm a native German speaker and it sounds awesome (still watched it in English)
The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Oh man, the amount of traffic you had was insane, when I went for a late evening session everyone was MUCH closer on pace. The yellow flag issue was still there though unfortunately
Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
Thanks for the separate audio track in german! Didn't know there was a feature for this, awesome!
You’re welcome! We’re testing dubbing out in a handful of languages. Would you like this on future videos too?
@@CameronDasRacing yes bro even it is AI voice it sounds very authentic keep going!
i was with my company at a indoor karting track few weeks ago in Kista, in a underground garage. super nice, first time driving electric. but they felt like a normal good condition petrol kart.
and it was no problem hiting max speed after 60% of the longest straight with a long right bend, no need to break. just have the correct line.. that felt a bit sad. other than that is was super nice, no ERS or DRS bullshit and not one single yellow flag for 3 hours we drove. A, B and C grp with A, B and C final. so in general electric cars are ok, with a big nice display telling your lap times and stint time on the track and place in the qualify and race´s, but i was not impressed. Best thing, everyone at my company are all 25 IT tech geek F1 nerds and i can brag with my gold medal from the A final.
Supercharged Edison, NJ world's largest bi level indoor track AND it's cheaper😁
Looks to me like the yellow flag system is set to make sure everyone is limited for the same duration. So you might well be going to a yellow flag sooner, but you also have full power back sooner too 🤔
How does the DRS actually work? Is it just a boost based on the gap to the car ahead, or is it actually dumping drag somehow?
Wow! They need to open this in every F1 city! How amazing would that be to have this in Montreal!
I have a question for you Cameron. Is the F1 drive just like K1 Racing???
Depends on the K1, but yeah it’s pretty similar but with fancy tech.
Trying to build temperature on them small ass tires is too funny ! 😂
I've been here and although the experience was fantastic, I was let down by the yellow flag system on many occasions. I found this to be very frustrating and it cost me 2 places finally finishing in third.
I found that my kart would slow and others could speed off.... Some at leat half a lap ahead.
One thing to note is that this is still relatively new so has a few niggles here and there.
I'll be visiting again in a few months and hoping the creases have been ironed out.
Also, the ERS & DRS seemed to be inconsistent.
The racing was fun but for those who know about karting, you feel somewhat left out that you can't race to your full potential
Hey man really love ur content, i,m a 12 years old , i do karting in cargo eisden, my dream is to make it into motorsport. You inspire me man
I am not an expert but I think the yellow flag system is either related to the mechanisms within the car, or the more a car is ahead, the earlier it can accelerate to prevent cascades
You have to lift off the throttle on yellow flags so the electric motor doesn’t turn itself into a brake and you will coast further
You were saying that there was telemetry to tell you how far ahead and behind the next car was, right? If that is a fact, then when the yellow is triggered the program would recall that relative gap. like if the car is 2.5 seconds behind you when the yellow is triggered but it coasts right up behind you, the program will give the appropriate gap back to the leading car when the green flag waves. Does this make sense? It makes sense in my head anyway.
My uneducated guess (and pardons if someone else has already mentioned this) is that the yellow flag system engages/re-engages each car 'in (current?) grid order', vice simultaneously, which (I'm thinking) causes the stagger.
Additionally... if I were marshaling the heat, I would've restarted the grid, due to the blue driver that jumped the start (despite it being an 'Arrive and Drive' rental situation, vice a League race). No sleight on the driver's obvious skill, but a fair start is a fair start.
Anyways, great vid - thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
Can you make a video that teaches new Sim racers how to tune their cars with setups and things like that?
The yellow flags are RIDICULOUS.
And for this price you could only call it a rip off…
She had that tint of craziness in her soul that made her believe she could actually make a difference.
even though its 8 mins and a very short track indoors it is pretty cool with all the lights and e karts reaching speeds of 25mph *gravityMAX liverpool*
19:09 "This has been manipulated, man!"
All bark no bite
love your videos man do you have any advise on how to get started in a motor sport ?
cool video. what did you use to record the audio? ANd how was your camera mounted to your helmet?
16:20 “I doubt it’s that advanced” 100 dollars for 30 minutes…
F1 kart track looks awesome, but maybe they need to class driver's so after the first season you drive against simular drivers.
I can most definitely see the F1 Drive Kart Track rivaling Flat Kart Oval Dirt Racing fr.
I think that their thing is to put immersive simulators for rent and not a go kart, many people go without having any idea of driving one but they go at full speed without caring about the others and boom yellow flags, this in a simulator, it is much less harmful to others. I only tried the go kart once in my life and it was a horrible experience since the one I went to had everything super controlled and they slowed me down making others pass me, there really was no reason to slow me down since I only had 1 brush. And I didn't crash on any lap but for some reason they did, making me come second to last. Curiously, all positions remained practically the same as they were at the start of the race.
Tell them to make one in Texas🙏
Cameron I love your videos so much! Can you please do a in-depth video on how to go from carting to motor sports! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
karting is motorsports?
If you noticed every time you lost time when the yellow came out you then gain on the green flag. And those that gained at the yellow lost on the green. Clever system.Keeps it interesting
Hey man, i have a go kart track in my town, but the karts have brakes on all 4 wheels (i think they were custom made). Any advice?
Learn to trail brake 🙌🏼
@@J.STANNO ok, i will try that this week.
I live in texas and I have to drive two hours away for the nearest okay karting place, and that sucks as I’m a kid without a car.

Its gotta be the drivers..
And the system...
Does your 'rental karting' book apply for rotax karts aswell?
