I made it into a video! Fully convinced I’m famous now 😅 Lovely racing with you maté hopefully see you there again soon AND THANK YOU FOR THE MENTION TOO! ❤
Haha was a pleasure to race you mate! Well, maybe not quite race you but share the track with you anyway 😂 you had some brilliant overtakes. Definitely catch you there again sometime soon! 👊
Have to say, don’t think that the last overtake was black flag worthy. Sure it was a bit aggressive but not over the top, maybe from the Marshalls point of view it looked a lot worse. Also, you’re super underrated for the quality of your videos, I’m subbing
I think you definitely redeemed yourself mate! Your racing at Warrington has improved so much and some of those overtakes were incredible so fair play mate. Plus this video was top notch in terms of pace and edit one of your best mate!
Another great video and the move was fine on the last race was just enough space, they let other people do that for every single move and it's fine and people do even worse like the guy that committed murder 😂 and get no penalty for running someone in a barrier
Yeah I think that’s the Sodi electric karts, TeamSport mostly run them but a couple of their tracks have these Biz karts. I think with the Biz karts you just press the button and it boosts for 5 seconds in one go... I could be wrong though 😂
When you watch it back on the video you can tell you had the position. But in the race I think you were right to give the position as you weren't sure. Any plans to come to Eastleigh?
Cheers Andy! Yeah it was incredibly close - maybe if it was a championship race or something a bit more serious I'd have kept it 😂 no plans yet but I'd love to visit sometime, I do have family on the south coast. Is it a good track?
I think it does, but I also think we were on speed 3 for this event (I could be wrong there though!). Having said that, this is the first time I've properly noticed the speed increase it when I use it 😂
As far as I'm aware, sodi karts version of speed 4 doesn't have boost as it is effectively constant, but biz karts do have the boost button on speed 3 and speed 4 raising the top revs by 300 for a duration.
Interesting... does boosting in the Biz karts actually increase your top speed then? Or does it just give better acceleration up to the kart's top speed?
It definitely does do something - the way it's been described to me is the boost is the same for speeds 3 and 4, but it feels less impactful on speed 4 because the top speed is naturally higher so is harder to feel
Think the black flag move was marginally on the naughty side, you weren't quite alongside him to merit the space you tried to take from him and you did gain advantage by the contact you caused - but on the other hand, to pull you into the pits and berate you about it in the middle of the race is a bit excessive! Other tracks would have applied a time penalty and left you out there, especially if that was the first incident you were at fault for.
Yeah I agree it was a bit of a dive! No hard feelings towards the marshals though, they’ve got to make a split second decision from a distance, so it is what it is. No points on the line or anything so it was all in good fun. I pride myself on racing clean so I did give myself a little talking to afterwards 😂

Thanks pal, that’s very kind of you! And yeah I agree maybe it looked more damning from the outside haha

Thank you pal! Turns out that boost button is actually quite handy 😂 got to get myself down to Victoria sometime soon

Cheers mate! Genuinely my first black flag haha. And nice one again for the footage, hope you're fixed up and back karting soon!
The one i went to you have to hold the boost button you get 5sec a lap, i dont know if this is the same for you but it was with teamsport gokarts

I wasn’t wrong I’ve made it to UA-cam I’m FAMOUS🤣
Hahaha you made it, and without flipping any karts too 😂 Great racing mate, sorry I didn’t catch you afterwards!

@@thepitlanecollective great track and really nice community
Awesome, I'll definitely visit if I'm in the area!
I’m going there in could of weeks 11 of us from work I’m 39 and haven’t jarred since I was 11 🤷 red flags may be frequent
Enjoy yourself pal! 👊
@@thepitlanecollective cheers bud I will do I’m sure, thanks for the video I really enjoyed 👍
Does the boost button do anything during member events? At my local TeamSport, the karts are at speed 4 during member events, so "boost" is always on.
I think it does, but I also think we were on speed 3 for this event (I could be wrong there though!). Having said that, this is the first time I've properly noticed the speed increase it when I use it 😂

@@thepitlanecollective I believe it is both, you definitely feel the difference coming down the ramp
