I worked at K1 Speed for a few months. Here's how things really work. There's 4 speeds, 4 being the fastest. Only regulars are put on speed four (35-45mph). Anybody that comes for their first time or maybe once or twice a year is put on speed 3. Kids are put on speed 1, if they seem like they can handle it, they're put on speed three. I've seen adults, GROWN men and women SO bad at driving, with zero concept of cornering, slowing down into corners, speeding up on exits, we had to put them onto speed 2. All the karts have identical batteries, tires, charges, etc. We test every cart every day in a shop in the back to make sure nobody can claim "your kart was faster than mine."
@@livingwellisthebestrevenge347 I did really enjoy working there, absolute most important thing I'd tell is to make sure you're only doing the job you're hired to do. I was hired to be a front desk operator and sometimes the boss would ask me to fill out spreadsheets on the computer or fix an issue on the track, those aren't part of my duties, I am not qualified to do those.
Such a poor track layout, if you keep your line shallow in to the two deep braking areas nobody can pass you without bashing you out of the way, they cannot brake later from a deeper line to cut back as the track turns back on itself immediately.
track is really windy and theres 2 hairpins that follow each other overtakes are hard to come by and when they do theyre only ever when the person in front crashes
Yes this layout is pretty difficult to pass experienced drivers on without them making a mistake. And there also a defensive line makes it even harder.
man thats not professional those are just rental karts professional karts go way faster than that there are many varities you got lo206 engines those go between 58-60 miles then u u got 100cc or 125cc u also got shifters which go up to 90 miles and is like driving a manual car because as the name of the kart says it has a shift knob. but for me the best category of professional karting are X30's they just beatiful.
I used to work at K1 and it was always interesting watching league races. Those guys raced those karts so hard I watched a dude snap a spindle just from going around a hair pin. Funny enough that was the first repair I ever did on a kart
My first time watching gokart racing and this looked fun and intense as hell. Number 22 was stressing me out lol, I feel like he/she wasn't trying to make any moves to advance when they could of. 22 was definitely keeping you from advancing. Good effort though.
It is really fun, been to a few tracks, the electric karts can get really fast. ones using a normal gas engine get fun if the track is long, these guys are best indoors imo.
Agreed. Those two super tight turns, the driver was definitely faster than the 22 and two drivers in front of him. There were a few times he had an inside run on the 22. Problem is, most refuse to let the faster driver have the position. This dude could’ve easily grabbed two more positions if the 22 moved out of the way, or at least not cut the man off as he’s diving into the corner.
Lmao 22 dove for the inside on a gap that barely existed in the first place and was always going to close, if it caused the guy they hit to spin more they probably would've been flagged bc it was their second warning
I feel like K1 need to make more tracks that encourages overtaking (at least 2). If you look at the Atlanta location, that's a good track for overtaking. one into turn 1, another into turn 6, turn 10, and turn 12. Maybe into turn 8 and 9 but it usually ends in a crash.
Even the atlanta location is hairy at times. Passing isn't too bad once the tires are warm, but it takes half the race before your tires are warm enough to really get solid enough cornering grip to pass someone in most of the turns.

@@monsterpoof I don't know what that means but "Yeah!" I put the first part in because the track was new and I wanted to remember the "league experience" in its entirety.
Great driving man, I don’t know if I’m in the position to say this, but for some tighter corners I recommend a more “ideal” racing line. ie. late apex, it allows for a better setup for the next corner. But then again, everyone has their own style, and you seem to be doing very well with yours 👍
The issue as someone else said is nobody races properly here and just bumps you out of the way. The exterior kart protection makes people think they are bumper carts. Taking a racing line leads to you getting passed.
Indoor Karting is a ton of fun, but I would say if you live near an outdoor track, those can be even more challenging and fun. I’ve been to K1 Austin a few times and P2R once in OKC (a month before it shut down for good ☹️) and I can officially say my favorite time for karting was neither. I went to COTA this past December and went karting there. Very similar prices (COTA is a tad more expensive, but makes up for it with the speed and the track). Both are fun and great options to get behind the wheel, but if you get the chance, and have a little more dough, try some outdoor, it’s a ton of fun!
There is an outdoor track (Pats Acres) near me and I had lots of fun in their rental kart leagues. It was one race per month for 6 months and the starts were really chaotic but what a blast!
Just like a V12 it's the sound of power and you can hear it more clearly because there are no extractor fans sucking the fumes out of the room. The rest is the same... well apart from the improved acceleration.
for you guys that dont know.. they have speed settings.. i raced some at 2 and then 3 .. those things throw G forces at you and will blow your mind.. totally worth the MONEY!!!!!! the track doesnt have long straights because someone would probably be dead right now if they did..
really good driving, there are a few little spots I think you could edge out another tenth or two, on the start-finish straight be sure you're using the whole track, turns 1-4 your spot on, on turn five you're cheating in early, stay against that wall for another split second and that will have you better setup for the 2nd hairpin, then after the hairpin, from when you turn back left for 9 I wouldn't even apex ten, just focus on turning 9 into the finish straight, so hit the apex on 9, miss the 10 apex by about a foot and a half and really let the car wind out to the wall, because there isn't a corner after ten we can really manipulate the apex, and only use as much steer angle as we absolutely need, or, depending on if the kart pulls really hard in a straight it might be good to cut in hard and make the straight another 5 feet longer, but judging from the video these karts seem very strong on that corner so I would go with the miss the apex approach.
That is great and well thought out advice. Thank you for sharing your insight and I bet others who drive this layout will benefit from your strategy. Too cool!
The guy the onboard driver was stuck behind always took the defending line inside every corner but slammed the throttle on exit and oversteer so much. It was frustrating to watch the guy in front block the onboard driver who was clearly faster.
Now I think these guys are ready for the upgrade to Japan's IRL Mario cart racing using ....Tokyo Japan street legal Mario carts that go fast as shit... even let you weave in and out of traffic with real cars.You literally have to dress up in a costume they have and then they let you loose on the roads of Japan. The things I would do to go to Japan right now and have a massive cart race, then find an Uber driver driving a Silvia S13-s15, maybe even an R-34 and drift the perfect streets of Japan on the drive back home.
Sounds like those karts are all belt driven. The indoor track where I race here in St. Louis have chain drive, and we don't have screens on the steering wheels.
the track has pretty good traction. it's hard to slide excessively. also the kart has a noise generator to simulate engine rpm though I always turn it off by tapping the upper left of the steering wheel screen.
Oh my god, I went to this place and did the 40 mph gas go karts on my birthday. It was cool as hell. Or well, I think I did. I'm VERY positive it's just that since then they changed stuff it seems, but I went to a go kart place in hillsboro kentucky and it has that EXACT loadout so, I guess stuff just changes a lot.
@@JSXDrift Nah. I checked Sykart's website and it only has places in Washington and Oregon. I went ahead and did a bit of searching, it was the Full Throttle Adrenaline Park in Florence, KY. Guess the track was just VERY similar.
nice! been there like 10 times now maybe a total of 35 races. I got top 3 on top times of the month! pretty stoked on that. it was the month of january so my name probably isn’t on the leaderboard anymore. I started at Sykart in tigard. have you been there?
Real Frank what did you think about these K1 Ekarts? My son and I walked in to take a look after some Topgolf about a month ago. My buddy Hans and I use to be at SyKart every Thursday and Friday. Man I miss the simple times. Lol now we’ve moved onto lo206 and rotax 100’s.
Fun is why we are out there for sure. If I remember correctly the people that were ahead were teens and probably 40 pounds lighter and my battery started losing oomph a few laps before the end but it seemed like we were all in the same boat as they weren't pulling away. Good times!
I think the major issue with the electric kart is that you can't overtake other player coz of the same speed limit on them this will be different on the engine ones. But yeah nice video.
You realize they make the gas powered ones do the same thing right? Its called a governor. Its to do with speed carried through the corners and how late you brake.
That's the thing about these indoor tracks, the lack of total space forces constraints on the limited track space which makes for constant hairpin turns where overtaking is greatly increased in difficult outside of the exceptions when there's contact usually leading to some kind of a crash or hinderance on the flow of the traffic. It ends up making really bogged down and difficult tracks that are nearly impossible to escape from as you have such little time to strategize and attack a position that isn't another hairpin turn.
The K1 here for the most part does not allow filming (even from the sidelines) The last I heard they allow helmet camera for their once a month league races. They even said if you had the highest points after a 3 or 4 month series you would win a gopro.
Thank you for the compliment and the tip. Many faster drivers touch the outside wall approaching certain apexes but my instinct always drives me to shorten the line. I'll never be the fastest but I'll be ready to dive in!
@@im_a_myth_717 Yea but the speed goes down faster, and when you complete the turn you have to wait to gain more speed again, if you just let go your speed goes down slower.
do you want to be forcing ur kart to the make the turn so you can get back on the gas without sending it to a wall or slow down and make as much as room as possible to mash the throttle in a straight smooth line
@@tokyoeagle7935 brakes let you travel less distance on the track and set you up to get on the throttle earlier because youre not struggling for grip trying to get your kart turned around, especially on hair pins
It most definitely would be awesome but sadly if I’m not mistaken, they wouldn’t allow it due to safety reasons and you could be kicked off the track for attempting that type of maneuver.
@@IamRealFrank I ended up with a 28 second lap with a junior go kart which is the fastest they’ve had all week so it was pretty cool I kept my line clean and avoided any loss of traction
I feel dumb asking this, but exactly how common are these K1 Speed locations? I don’t have one nearby, but apparently they’re the leaders in indoor “mid-level” karting?
K1 is international but still have to consider insurance responsibilities so they try to insure patron safety while providing a comfortable environment
He needs to get some more pace on he breaks and not stomp on the gas on the exit even though there electric he might be getting some wheel spin on the exit of the corners but I’ve never driven a electric kart in Europe they use lots of gas karts I’ve never seen a electric one
Looks perfectly Fine to me. I guess Theres even time to be found in digitalizing the Pedal Even Further. You dont Need Brakes at all, Engine Braking is Huge in e Karts and it somehow Pulls you into the corner. At least Thats my experience with e Karts.
Whenever I see a giant mall close, I think, "Indoor go kart track." Hell, when Arco Arena closed in Sacramento, I thought, "If I win the Powerball, I'm buying it and turning the concourse into an indoor track and the parking lot into an outdoor course."
They really just warn with signs. I suppose if a pass was grievous they would have the power to nullify your position. Pushing someone wide to pass would probably be penalized if the the staff observed it but divebombing without contact could be a good way to shorten your line and get into your opponents head/break their focus.
Where are these facilities can I buy one and go into business with one of these , how’s i et in touch with the operator, thanks I just subscribed too you channel, thanks BigAl California. Praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
I would have kept the outside line for T3, and position the kart as much to the right as possible before T4 and accelarate earlier, but of course this is only applicable if you have no one on your tail. Good driving throughout though!
I’ve driven K1 quiet a few times and lap people on a regular. What he needs to do is hold more speed in the turns. The tires on these carts are sticky so hold as much speed as possible through the turns. If your cart tires aren’t squeaking you’re usually going to slow. Also, since these cart don’t have power steering having good forearm strength helps a ton. Most drivers have to use their breaks way to often since they don’t have the strength to hold turns with speed. Take advantage. GL.
No they have a remote control that controls the carts so in the beginning while people are getting ready they make it that fast so people don’t crash or movie up positions before the race
Also the last time was in February 2020 because I was in a junior championship so they give me the opportunity to race against two formula E drivers after that night I can't go 😭
I went to that same track and was told I was to short to drive (I was 3 inches taller than the employee) came back next year, and won 4 races in a row, and won the 3rd one a lap ahead of 2nd place. I’m now going to a much better jarring track, but I still really don’t like k1. Carts are slow, bad, and the experience is just poor.
The K1 karts are electric and I don't know the specs but they have various power levels that are enabled as the driver demonstrates skill. I was told they don't use the highest settings because the kart becomes unmanagable and I would assume battery drain would make it too slow before the 12 lap race was over.
At least for my K1, the karts are normally at about 90%-95% for all races and can be altered slightly as the driver shows skill or depending on the race. For qualifying they turn the karts to 100% and that’s when people set record times but 100% drains the battery like crazy.
It's more difficult to overtake on this track than Monaco
Fr though, there’s really only two overtaking spots and both of them are the big braking zones
I try to pass the slow people in the corners when they brake too early early families
not when u r racing against fellow 10 year olds
not the smartest
You’ll have to move them over
Indeed. It’s like you’re hoping that they’ll make a slight mistake. Usually that’s when you’ll want to make the move. I watch a lot of NASCAR and F1 passing is extremely difficult so is Indy car

@@JSXDrift Nah. I checked Sykart's website and it only has places in Washington and Oregon. I went ahead and did a bit of searching, it was the Full Throttle Adrenaline Park in Florence, KY. Guess the track was just VERY similar.
But hell isn’t cool it’s hot
@@aleesawebb2277 Gottem.
This track is so hard to overtake i've been here and whoever starts on podium places finishes. There is literally no overtakes.
not until they hurl and smash their cart into yours giving you the most wicked whiplash you've ever had in your life
Watching this insted of going to work 🙈
Ikr I want all this covid stuff to be over with

dont u imagine that u wanna race someone over the last pizza lol
That would
He me
That was a really good watch!
Felt like I’m driving & on the track
I only had time the watch the first 2 minutes, but it was an awesome race!
😂😂😂😂😂

This dude is good at navigating accidents.
nice! been there like 10 times now maybe a total of 35 races. I got top 3 on top times of the month! pretty stoked on that. it was the month of january so my name probably isn’t on the leaderboard anymore. I started at Sykart in tigard. have you been there?
I have 44 races at K1. I have 1430 races at sykart. Yeah I have some practice at sykart!
Real Frank what did you think about these K1 Ekarts? My son and I walked in to take a look after some Topgolf about a month ago. My buddy Hans and I use to be at SyKart every Thursday and Friday. Man I miss the simple times. Lol now we’ve moved onto lo206 and rotax 100’s.
How is the staff there?
Which location is this?

Looks like lots of fun. You may have passed more folks had you nailed those apex points on the turns better. But seriously, how is this not fun?
Fun is why we are out there for sure. If I remember correctly the people that were ahead were teens and probably 40 pounds lighter and my battery started losing oomph a few laps before the end but it seemed like we were all in the same boat as they weren't pulling away. Good times!
So cool with your foot posted up and your own gloves. :))
That's funny.
I didn't feel like covering the brake pedal on the grid lap so I rested my foot on top of it. The gloves are a long time habit.
I’m going here for my birthday today
Sick video bro! I was betting on you overtaking #22, but it never happened.
Nice to see some one else in the area!!! My time there on average is low 22!
This dude really knows how to cut corners. Must have played much NFS games
The girl at the start is acting so much like Gina from Brooklyn 99
I think the major issue with the electric kart is that you can't overtake other player coz of the same speed limit on them this will be different on the engine ones. But yeah nice video.
You realize they make the gas powered ones do the same thing right? Its called a governor. Its to do with speed carried through the corners and how late you brake.
It wouldn’t be fair if everyone had different speed limits. This is all about pure skill.
The karts in the GP make me so mad cause if you get a bad kart you lose instantly
So F1?
That's the thing about these indoor tracks, the lack of total space forces constraints on the limited track space which makes for constant hairpin turns where overtaking is greatly increased in difficult outside of the exceptions when there's contact usually leading to some kind of a crash or hinderance on the flow of the traffic. It ends up making really bogged down and difficult tracks that are nearly impossible to escape from as you have such little time to strategize and attack a position that isn't another hairpin turn.
This is just fun
I was watching this on my big screen tv and had a strong fan and I left my fan in my face while watching this
It was like a simulator
It would be so much cooler in VR..
I've been waiting so long for you to get a lot of work.
The K1 here for the most part does not allow filming (even from the sidelines) The last I heard they allow helmet camera for their once a month league races. They even said if you had the highest points after a 3 or 4 month series you would win a gopro.
Looks fun, but not a good layout for competitive racing.
No k1 I’ve ever been to has a good layout 😂
Yo great work, I have won multiple and you're doing Great! Tip try going to the edge outside for more momentous on turns so you can pass people
Thank you for the compliment and the tip. Many faster drivers touch the outside wall approaching certain apexes but my instinct always drives me to shorten the line. I'll never be the fastest but I'll be ready to dive in!
Nice video! 👍 🤝 💞
Tough race, appreciate you have good sportsmanship
Tip: when going in for a turn, you need real balls for this tip. Don't push brake, just let go of the gas at the last second. That's what I do
Purple_Tech 1000 no, tapping the brakes is faster
@@im_a_myth_717 Yea but the speed goes down faster, and when you complete the turn you have to wait to gain more speed again, if you just let go your speed goes down slower.
do you want to be forcing ur kart to the make the turn so you can get back on the gas without sending it to a wall or slow down and make as much as room as possible to mash the throttle in a straight smooth line
@@seeblues1672 Yes...? You grammer is terrible
@@tokyoeagle7935 brakes let you travel less distance on the track and set you up to get on the throttle earlier because youre not struggling for grip trying to get your kart turned around, especially on hair pins
What camera is this! Great video!
This K1 shows up really good on camera. I used a gopro 3+.
@@IamRealFrank I appreciate it ! Thanks!
imagine how awsome it would be if he could drift a curve and pass like 3 karts
It most definitely would be awesome but sadly if I’m not mistaken, they wouldn’t allow it due to safety reasons and you could be kicked off the track for attempting that type of maneuver.
Are these carts electric and how fast do they go? Awesome race.
Thanks. Yes they are electric but I'm not sure what the top speed is
Where can I find a place like this but with way bigger tracks. I don’t know if they had outdoors one but I’m really tryna race bro lol.
D.L .G pats acres
Im about to go racing so I’ve been watching go kart videos all day 😂
Your mental practice should help.
Keep the speed up and your line short. have fun and watch out for ... those in front, those behind, and opportunities.
@@IamRealFrank I ended up with a 28 second lap with a junior go kart which is the fastest they’ve had all week so it was pretty cool I kept my line clean and avoided any loss of traction
@@lonestar_racing3005 way to go! You've got the right idea.
How long can u drive em for n how much are they
There is no time for the race to end, because it has only 12 laps until the race is over.
14 laps @ average lap around 25 secs. 6 to 7 minutes per race. $22/38/50 (1, 2, 3 races respectively).
I need to visit this place. These karts look awesome.
It's design and speed and drift is epic
I feel dumb asking this, but exactly how common are these K1 Speed locations? I don’t have one nearby, but apparently they’re the leaders in indoor “mid-level” karting?
It's geared toward family friendly
K1 is international but still have to consider insurance responsibilities so they try to insure patron safety while providing a comfortable environment
Damn that first lap went super sonic fast :O
That drifting on the kart is crazy and I just think you need to get perfect timing on the drifting
He needs to get some more pace on he breaks and not stomp on the gas on the exit even though there electric he might be getting some wheel spin on the exit of the corners but I’ve never driven a electric kart in Europe they use lots of gas karts I’ve never seen a electric one
Looks perfectly Fine to me. I guess Theres even time to be found in digitalizing the Pedal Even Further. You dont Need Brakes at all, Engine Braking is Huge in e Karts and it somehow Pulls you into the corner. At least Thats my experience with e Karts.
Dude they are common in europe
Everything washonky dory until you got 6th place...What a pain to get to fifth...those 4 drivers in front of you certainly know what they are doing.
Love karts, I know that there are two pedals, the one on the right is accelerate, I have no idea what the one on the left does, never pressed it.
That pedal is turbo boost but it works in the opposite of direction traveled😇
Whenever I see a giant mall close, I think, "Indoor go kart track." Hell, when Arco Arena closed in Sacramento, I thought, "If I win the Powerball, I'm buying it and turning the concourse into an indoor track and the parking lot into an outdoor course."
22 was slowing him down big times lol
Very Cool!!! This K1 SPEED League Race
The guards on the carts and track layout encourage dive bombing and overtakes by pushing... Is there a penalty system in the league?
They really just warn with signs. I suppose if a pass was grievous they would have the power to nullify your position. Pushing someone wide to pass would probably be penalized if the the staff observed it but divebombing without contact could be a good way to shorten your line and get into your opponents head/break their focus.
Where are these facilities can I buy one and go into business with one of these , how’s i et in touch with the operator, thanks I just subscribed too you channel, thanks BigAl California. Praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Steering wheel: +1000000 points
electric karts: -1000000000000000000000000000000000000
What does that even mean?
I would have kept the outside line for T3, and position the kart as much to the right as possible before T4 and accelarate earlier, but of course this is only applicable if you have no one on your tail. Good driving throughout though!
0:54 That shoe looks like you've turned off anti-aliasing
Electric… go-karts?! … I’m just thankful now that I’m racing with a combustion engine. Net zero racing is a scary prospect rn
The steering wheel looks like a mclaren steering wheel size divided by 2
k1 near boston Massachusetts is the best. Only ever been once but i love it for an occasional day out
Electric carts have come a long way. They were never that fast in my day.
Obviously . What were you thinking ? Everything would remain same as time went by ?
@@sudattsdeadchannel3495 somebody's having a bad day 😂
@@sudattsdeadchannel3495 POV: you were just black flagged from a carting race
i love this. ive done this before too, we did like something crazy like 100 laps or something, by like lap 20 i was god damn dale earnhardt jr
I have a kart and i called "Marlboro Ferrari"
The reason. Its a kart With Ferrari 2002 Painting
It's quite interesting.I really want to visit and enjoy the speed.
I’ve driven K1 quiet a few times and lap people on a regular. What he needs to do is hold more speed in the turns. The tires on these carts are sticky so hold as much speed as possible through the turns. If your cart tires aren’t squeaking you’re usually going to slow. Also, since these cart don’t have power steering having good forearm strength helps a ton. Most drivers have to use their breaks way to often since they don’t have the strength to hold turns with speed. Take advantage. GL.
Me: when are they going to get faster
My brain: dude their go carts
Kid Kreative they feel hella fast when you get into one ngl
@@emersonbonilla1734 Inside kart's aren't very fast ngl
It's slow in 2x speed in Tha beganing
Edit:i dont know what i mant but yea hay here after 7 mounts
No they have a remote control that controls the carts so in the beginning while people are getting ready they make it that fast so people don’t crash or movie up positions before the race
I wouldve dove down the inside on some of those corners but still great racing
How do you even overtake in this track 🤨
Openings show up with walk-ins, or they get blue flagged. In league races you hope for/encourage a mistake from the person you are chasing.
You don't. You pay a fuck up happens. Track needs to be about 4 feet wider for any chance to overtake.
I used to go to the K1 Speed in Atlanta Georgia before COVID-19 I plan to go back their when the pandemic ends.
Also the last time was in February 2020 because I was in a junior championship so they give me the opportunity to race against two formula E drivers after that night I can't go 😭
But was very fun and I meet them. 😌
I went to that same track and was told I was to short to drive (I was 3 inches taller than the employee) came back next year, and won 4 races in a row, and won the 3rd one a lap ahead of 2nd place. I’m now going to a much better jarring track, but I still really don’t like k1. Carts are slow, bad, and the experience is just poor.
This was better than 90% of the F1 races.
Sharp driving, they seem slow tho. My x30 feels alot faster. The sound might contribute to that. What are the specs on this types of karts?
The K1 karts are electric and I don't know the specs but they have various power levels that are enabled as the driver demonstrates skill. I was told they don't use the highest settings because the kart becomes unmanagable and I would assume battery drain would make it too slow before the 12 lap race was over.
At least for my K1, the karts are normally at about 90%-95% for all races and can be altered slightly as the driver shows skill or depending on the race. For qualifying they turn the karts to 100% and that’s when people set record times but 100% drains the battery like crazy.
@@IamRealFrank thanks for the reply! I had never heard of these before, thank you :)
@@blake7028 I can imagine, it could be like formula E where they change vehicles when one runs out xD. Have a good day :)
BlackPalankaa Dude that would be so awesome
I’ve been to this k1 when I stoped in Oregon. it’s not the best place to race rental karts but it’s fun.
