Wow this video is exactly what I needed I can’t wait to win my next rental kart race with these tips! #norbergnation
Always love the support from my biggest fans
The last tip is a must. On my local track there's this double left corner that I had to slightly brake to hit both apexes. The guy in front of me just took the widest line, always on th throttle, not caring about the first apex. He was much faster than any of us. Lesson learnt, and now validated by a pro!
Big yes to the aggressive steering on entry. Coming from sim, I was used to being as smooth as possible, but with rental karts, the only thing I was getting in return was heaps of understeer.
Yeah since Rental karting are most likely using the same karts as they use for when they let people drive them, and sometimes they dont change the tires often which they feel sloppy
Just coincidentally did my first ever outdoor karting today in a rental cart. These tips are super helpful!
I was waiting for you to post a video like this! Thank you man!
Been waiting for this. Thank you. I had no idea aggressive hands on entry were a benefit in a rental. Looking forward to practicing this in my next sessions.
Came P2 in my rental season, even after missing the first race (if not for an incident in the final, could have placed first). Watching your videos definitely helped.
I've discovered the last tip in one of the hardest corners in my last race and it made a huge different on my laps, gained 3 positions after this, if I started doing this since the qualys, would be a much different race. Thanks for the awesome tips as always
thank you so much for this video :) I have got so much better in the last year I am in the top 5 always out of 20 thanks to you :)
Thanks Ryan! Great tips for rental kart drivers like me!
One question - how do these tips apply to electric rental karts?
Great video. Will be doing my first league race May 5th, and I’ve been training a lot. Also, very familiar with the OKC track! Great video as always, Ryan!
You and I were running pretty equally a couple weeks ago (4/14) during lapping sessions at OKC! (Honestly, you had me beat 3/4 of the time, depending on the machine). Let's see who can apply Ryan's tips best, at Friday night's League race at OKC! (BILL44, Rental Heavy)
@@williamhoward44 hey Bill! I remember! Nice to see you here. Great to hear that you’ll be doing the League race! Good luck Friday.
lots of original ideas here. nice to hear some tips that are not just repeats.
dude this channel is absolutely stunning and it has gotten me faster , however i didnt expect this video and its perfect. thank you :)
I’m going to have to use the tips this weekend.
It would help to see another video like this where Ryan does at least one full lap with the rental kart. Thank's
Thank you for this, maybe one day I'll be able to get behind the wheel of a competition kart for a race day, but until then rental karts!! Shoutout Touring Kart Championship, if you are in the northeast and want to a join a higher level rental kart league, look them up!!! The outdoor season is starting in a couple weeks at United Karting, be there or be square.
I have found that if you can slow down by drifting the four wheels on corner entry instead of braking,it helps too to keep the revs up on exit.
sweet tips
good tips
please do more of these rental videos thanks
I agree as well
love it!
1:52 depending on the track, specially in indoortracks with narrow/close corners (U Turn) it could be interesting to lock up and turn the kart that way, to keep your front wheels straight keeping the momentum. At the same time 4T engine give their max torque at low RP so it s a win win. I m not saying to lock up for seconds, it s fraction of seconds. Like we used with old 2T karts back in the days (late 80'-early 90'). Totally agree on the aggressive input. The weight and bad tyres need this kind of approach. And to stay on power, some new generation kart have a cut off system that basically allow you to stay full throttle all the time, just using the brake to slow down a bit. It s a little bit counter intuitive but you can gain lot of acceleration with this technique.
going flat out might make you lose a lot of rpm, break tapping and sharp turning on the other hand gives you more grip on the corner and a better exit
going flat out makes the kart slide and you lose a lot of speed, while if you break and turn you can get on the power harder and no slide making the rpms go up instead of down throughout the corner
I have a question in order to be smooth with the steering the setup and the conditions have to be pretty good or is it down to the driver?
Do you still take a wider line in indoor go karting as well because there are barriers instead of rumble strips?
Normally while cornering do you brake till the apex or release the brake when reaching the apex then only accelerate?
THANK YOU for these tips, which are directly relevant to my efforts in the League at Orlando Kart Center. Now that I'm 70 years old, I'm still trying to find 1.5-2 seconds so I can get closer to the front in the Rental Heavy class! These tips will definitely help me get there. (BILL44)
Hello, have you made a video on how to perform well on wet circuits ? I don't usually go on wet circuits so i need some tips for later. I love your videos by the way
For rentals on slicks? Or for pro karts with more options?
My experience in the former is:
Brake gently and early- lock ups will spin you.
1. Don't over brake. You will spin.
2. You want to use acceleration to turn in the kart but it's gonna feel scary at first and counterintuitive. Like driving on sandy beaches. Power through.
3. Don't run the usual line. That grippy part with all the rubber is now enemy #1. You want to cross that line going as straight as possible because there is zero grip on it in the wet.
4. Avoid puddles they slow you and can kill the engine.
5. Overtakes are dicey. Do it where you know you have better exit speed or if you're 💯 that you have more grip in a corner.
6. Watch for drying parts of the track. As it dries you can experiment and find tons of time there.
Hope that helps!
@@PatrickHerberts Hello, i am on rental but go once every 3 months to do real races, i pay a bit more but it's worth it. I already knew some, but it does a great refresh. You still learned some things. Thanks a lot for your constructive comment.
@@grimalkxn no problem man. I'm in rentals also that's how I have the painful experience for the comments lol. I'm about to go down right now to the track for a race. Good luck out there 👍
one of your eyes is blue and one is browm
amazing
True on those poor brakes what about dodgy steering wheels?
I love just love 2 stoke
That first clip is identical to the track i race on
Okay yea but uhhh now i need the reverse
What about babies first pro kart 😭😭
Turn7 is scaring the shit out if me
Im braking soooo early lmao
i race rentals all the time one tip for really sharp hairpins is to use the brake to turn. Just smash it until it starts to slide a bit then smash the throttle and you will have a monster exist.
How do i win a race, when everyone in the championship is dirty af, and then for some reason i am given penalities for accidents where i was miles away. But ofc they give to me cause i am the poorest one who uses promotions and deals and sponsors to race in the championship. And I have been taken away from 6 top 5 finishes and 3 podiums form these dirty drivers and unfair penalties
When i go rental karting i try my best to like hit the apexes and drive how u need to actually drive, but theres always a menace that tries to hit me and doesnt know how he is properly supposed to take a corner 💀🥲😭
