Glad you had a fun day :)

😅

Haha - the tyres were very much past their best and I was running at full senior weight, so it’s a decent representation of what I could do I think - but there’s lots of potential for better times with fresher tyres and more fitness!

The kerbs are way nicer there now. Would be cool to get out on track with you here ❤

Not just hurting - literally failing to be able to stay upright! 😅

@@BradPhilpot yep, I have the same issue. It’s embarrassing to have my head hanging out the side of the kart for the last 5 laps 😂

@@jeffoboyle ​​⁠when I did this regularly, it stopped being a problem. After two race weekends, I’d built the strength to deal with it. But the first one was a nightmare.

@@BradPhilpot Good point, there’s no substitute for seat time. Most people would be amazed at how physically demanding these karts are. They are a world away from the usual hire karts.

Wow!

Thai's love two stroke. Scooters boats karts..

Thanks for watching! I’ve driven quite a few electric karts. Where is your friend’s track?

@@BradPhilpot PMG Karting World in Walsall

Thanks David!

Thanks 🤗

Yeah when you consider what an equivalent length DMax session would cost and factor in how much faster the ADX kart is, it’s very well priced.

Hey Matt! You should probably consider yourself a very competent / pretty fast rental kart driver in normal four stroke, Honda powered rental karts first I’d say.

@@BradPhilpotthanks! Well something to work up to! Thanks for sharing

​​⁠please shout if you want any help 👊🏼

Hey Brad its Danny from Rhy house with the Tony kart, i fixed the brake isue Would love to come testing with you guys can we link up ??

@@atdmotormechanics hey Danny! That would be great! I don’t own a rotax though so I don’t have any testing planned for the near future

Oof that’s not the ideal pressure! 😅

You’d be fine!

I was recently at Lydd kart track and there was an 84 year old in his shifter kart which I was amazed to see him flying around in, you’ll be absolutely fine! Go as fast as you’re comfortable with and then increase from there

Beg borrow or steal a neck brace , there is very little “ rest “ time at Rye House or ask the man nicely please can you put a set of Dunlop SL 3 ‘s on the kart 👍

They’ve not been the fastest for years! C100 is faster

@@AlexVangeenRacing nah bro dmax is just a bit faster

@@yeyeass6485it’s not though. Same engine but c100 way way better looked after

Its really not. Not trying to hate them, but their karts are the same engines but run much richer, restricted, and the tyres are terrible. Its fun for a cheap arrive and drive, but c100 is much faster ​@@yeyeass6485

They claim 70mph🤣🤣

Nope! All supplied

Not yet!

It only goes as fast as you tell it to go!

@@BradPhilpot and that's where the problems begin...................

Great video I just don’t like when on your camera it blurs out the background and only focuses on your face, especially when trying to show something that’s behind you lol :)

@@DanWalker97_ fair comment Dan - I’ll stop using cinematic mode on the iPhone

@@BradPhilpot appreciated 👌🏼will look much better imo :)

Thanks for watching :)

Yes - that’s an Arai SK6 painted by Nippy Designs.

@@BradPhilpot thanks mate, where did you get your visor from?

@@WBP69191Grand Prix Racewear

I believe that may be on the cards at some point in the future

​@@BradPhilpot I hope you can! The first few laps in one definitely stay with you, they are complete animals. The neck doesn't appreciate it though, it has to be said 😄

Just the one gear!

Eagle eyes 🦅

I noticed the kart was running maximum negative camber so I adjusted it back to the standard setting.

Genuinely excellent value when you consider the alternative options for having an experience in a rotax max kart.

@@BradPhilpot if you think spending 120 pound in half an hour is good value driving a kart, you ain't in touch with reality.

⁠Can you suggest a more cost effective way to drive a rotax for half an hour without buying one first? If not, you’re just talking rubbish I’m afraid. A Daytona DMax session of an equivalent length is around £90 and that’s for a detuned version on a rental chassis. I’m not sure what your reference point is, but as someone who definitely does have their finger on the pulse of the rental kart scene (as owner of the British rental kart championship since 2011) as well as a vast amount of experience in owner karting - I’m telling you as a fact, this is excellent value for an experience in this kind of kart. A business charging less than this would simply not be viable with the associated running costs, track hire costs, staff costs. Having said all that, I welcome your explanation of how you could do it more cheaply. Let’s go ⬇️

As an additional note on this, here are some costs for equivalent length sessions in MUCH slower rental karts in the UK: F1 Drive, electric karts, around 8bhp: 15 mins practice, 15 mins race - £85 Daytona DMax sprint (40 mins): £110

Don't forget Club100 too, their prices are even higher than DMax. Arguably better value though to some extent

A race day would cost way more than this! Even if you owned your own kart, entry fees alone are typically £125, plus fuel, tyres, mechanic - the list goes on… Then remember you’d need a licence, club membership fees etc etc The price isn’t even remotely comparable.

@@BradPhilpot I raced, a test day would be very similar. Mechanic isn't exactly needed imo Karts aren't rocket science but for a newb then yeah they'd need one

@@flying5145remember - this experience is designed to be as hassle free as any other arrive and drive session. You don’t need a licence - you don’t need your own equipment. So it’s a different target audience.

@@BradPhilpot I am saying you don't require an MSA license for practice/testing. I am saying for a similar price you could run a practice day similar to what you did for a very similar price. What you did was essentially a half day test/practice day. However the Target audience i completely agree with and i can see that being a bulk of their clientele. Not sure i would want a complete novice taking out a rotax max on an OTK chassis around somewhere as tight as Rye. Is there no previous requirements or checks?

@@flying5145Ah you said Race Day so that’s what I thought you meant. Remember, you could enter a test day for that price sure. But you’d then need to rent a kart for the day, fuel it, provide tyres etc. So I don’t see how you could do a test day for that kind of money without already owning the kit (which as you know is thousands of pounds). ADX have slower karts like prokarts for less experienced people. The price is around half of the rotax cost too. So if someone wasn’t deemed to be competent enough then they could do that. But again, it’s better for someone to drive a rotax for the first time on a nice private session with ADX rather than getting in everyone’s way on a proper test day (and paying loads more money for the privilege!) 😂

The price is the total. There is no practice fee at the track. The £125 is the total cost.

Worth it - but also, where are you based? ADX are going to other tracks too soon.

@@BradPhilpot Manchester mate. I nearly rode in karts of this similar power in Egypt, Sharm has an FIA approved track. But the closest thing I’ve gotten is Three Sisters Race track in Wigan, they’re quite fast but nothing like this I don’t think.

​​⁠ADX are planning a day at PFI which is one hour north so a little closer to you. But in my opinion it’s worth making a day of it and coming down to Rye House. Manchester isn’t crazy far away!

Yep - it’s cinematic mode on the iPhone. It’s been noted and I’ve bought a new camera for this style of video so it won’t be an issue in the future.

I’m assuming this is a joke. Nothing has had the speed increased. You can literally time the laps with a stopwatch and you’ll see they match with what it says on the dash.

Yeah you do
