I went go karting last night after watching this video smashed it and won 🥇

i love the switchback overtake, definitely is satisfying that leaves the other driver wondering lol

I got first place on my local go karting track thanks to this! I feel like you really need to know when the right time is for each of these overtakes and it takes a lot of skill to use your brain but also to act upon it

Elbows out is what I used to do as a kid, but plenty of misjudgments ended with being pinned on the wall. It's nice to see different techniques explained, and I will gladly add them to my toolbelt for use against my mates.

I really wish I could go gokarting more often, but it's too expensive really, but the times I have gone with my friends have been a lot of fun (although messy). These videos make me reallu excited to drive again!

My favourite overtaking manoeuvre ever was at Little Rissington. I braked a little early, cut to the inside in order to get on the power early and be facing out on a better angle (you need both). Then, you can easily pass on the inside. I explained to my friend exactly how to do it. I came up behind him in the dog leg. He did it perfectly, passing 2 karts. Then, I got him too!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Though I am sure this is a mere glimpse of your superior professional knowledge but for a casual beginner like themself - your training tips have made me fall-in-love with this sport as well as I having more fun at the kart-track.

With all the respect, most of these overtakes are on people that not more than your average tourist in a go-kart. For example, the outside overtake at 2:25 only works because the person in kart number 14 is terribly slow. Person drives the inside line while not even defending, early braking, still misses the apex and not even full throttle on the next straight. The speed difference coming out of the hairpin is mostly because someone is in a go-kart for the 2nd time in their life.

Thank you🔥 all overtaking manoeuvres are pretty legit and I will try and execute at my next arrive and drive... Don't stop making these videos💗💗thank you✨

Some of the best trips to arrive and drive karting is passing people who are doing like 10 seconds slower per lap. Passing at such a speed differential is invigorating.

This final clip reminds me a lot of the Dubai autodrome track. Great video young dude. Never really cared much and I’m not sure why this turned up on my feed, but glad it did. My wife weighs a good 40kg less than me. Her weight vs my skill often ends up in a very close game. Might employ your knowledge in our next domestic settlement event.

I'm watching these knowing that my brain won't analyse all this😂

this is just perfect, your explaining is perfect too, thank you !

Thank you for the video, What i do with novice drivers that really works are.Get up behind them,wait for them to move to the outside of the corner to smooth out the racing line,and then pull up on the inside. Classic block pass. It works well on L-R or R-L corners.Your exit is slow but you got the line for the next corner.

I would love a video on defending in karting.

great video, well explained and shown, keep up the good work

The last track on the video, a couple years ago, I had the pleasure race on that track. By far the best outdoor track I've ever raced at! Awesome video and awesome advice!

Thank you for the video! This will surely help me crush my friends this summer (I hope). Really good video for a beginner!

Great intro, thanks! My 3 year old son loves F1, so I take him to the go kart track at the beach where I live, where they have 2 seat karts. No one is a real driver (including me) or follows the racing line (as I never did as a kid), so simply by watching F1 I started to be quicker than anyone. But overtaking is very hard on the track as it’s narrow. So thanks! I just hope I’m not a Jos Verstappen waiting to happen. My kid stands up on the car when we stop and pretends to be Alonso winning a race.

Thanks for the awesome knowledge!!

Great video! very informative

Nice video, lots of good tips and tricks there.

This is really good video good job man

Underrated video, thanks

I would love to see more of these. For example you shpuld make video stricktly about braking in different cases.

Thanks for the tips! When I'm doing indoor karting, I never trust overtaking from the outside as most drivers are completely unaware your there and squeeze you into the barrier! However sometimes it can work!

Thank you so much for this video. I only started to Karting in this month but I want to be better and better. In firstly I wanted to know how to drive (I never did before) and know how is it working, being fast in the corners to take advantage of the Apexs (etc) But in the last one i had lot of situations where i wasn't enough in overtaking. This tips are super useful for me! Thank you again!!!

great video mate

You are great Thank you very much

How should you overtake somebody whos blocking a small track and brakes completly random and defends by crashing in to you. Then the marshals don't give you a blue flag even though you are stuck 3 laps behind him?

Thanks

That helped tons thanks

good tips, tnx 👍

Amazing video thank you for sharing :)

because of you im studying karting more than i study any subject at school or home if karting was a subject i would have gotten a full grade

I always get in the back of the line if given the option or let everyone pass on the warmup lap so i can practice overtaking maneuvers at tracks i have been at before and know well.

Great video

Realy helpful

I normally just drive the same way I do on racing video games and I get ahead of my friends when I go karting with them lol. Good video btw.

1000th subscriber :D Amazing video Amazing channel

Thankyou!!

I would absolutely dominate go-karts at almost every track I went to.

Best part of racing is overtaking!! Nice footage! We are going to race this season in rental Karts. Follow our journey on our channel

How do you film your races

Bumper car tactics which would not work in alot of cases in sprint (unless your kart is disposable).

I have a sws race tomorrow and yo usaved my ass thx bro🤝

I’m watching this video because my first time in an actual go karting race (because I was old enough now) I tried to overtake this woman but she obviously can’t see behind her and when I tried to drive past her she turned into me and we collided. I wanted to know how and when is it safe to overtake someone when go karting to avoid any sort of accidents like that because she ended up with a huge red bruise on her neck 😬

Sometimes I get held up while trying to take the inside line after the straight and this really slows my entire pace as I have to brake or else I will crash into his rear. And if I do brake then the gap between me and the driver ahead increase a lot. What can I do in this situation?

I have been on that track!

the good ol swicharoo

Those aggressive inside overtakes in the "Indoor" chapter are risky though, right? Because the driver on the outside could turn in, sticking you to the wall, maybe causing both of you to stick together or spin, etc?

my favorite is the switch

Most of your overtaking is elbows out approach. Which is effective till you do it to someone like yourself or worse someone that doesn’t care. I like how you keep saying this guy isn’t on the racing line while you aren’t on the racing line. I want to see a video on an indoor track with someone on the racing line and driving defensive. Also couldn’t tell looked like one of the places had electric carts which I think are the least competitive carts in existence. A lot of them have speed adjustments so they can turn you up or down on power while racing. The regulars normally start at full power and new racers start at low. Gas carts some are faster some are slower and if you go to a place enough you figure out which one is fastest. They are all still much closer than electrics. I guess my point is just watched another video where a guy punched a hole by ramming through with his cart (elbows out) and all I could think was wow this guy is way nice than me it’s really not hard to spin someone into the barrier. Race clean normally you get clean racing race dirty it goes great till you find a fuck around and find out person.

2:00 pros actualy trys to take apex but from inside so basicly if you are going in racing line the guy who was inside will stop you from overtaking. (Defending btw)

To summarise this whole video: *just stick to your racing line*

Why you can't just push the pedal to the metal on the straight?

I love how offended people get when you overtake them on regular go kart tracks, meanwhile I'm just wondering how most have drivers licenses.

i went go karting knowing this, i lapped 2nd 3 times lol

What if you're 16 stone and are racing someone that is 8?

thank you this will be my first time to test karting and i wanna beat my gf

What if the nearest karting track is 200km away and u don't have money for karting xd

Do i care i just want to have fun

0:29 looks like qatar lol

With this knowledge, why don't you just get yourself an Easy-kart and compete?

you know what? my friend and i one day he teach me on how to overtake and how to defend, just 2 of us in track because it's coaching clinic. and you know... he managed to not use the racing line and always defend himself also when my turn to defend, he use a technique that my mind doesn't even understand like "what the f is that move" so... yeah

Rental Bumper Karts... is NOT KARTING.

‘Straightaway’ is such an awful American term. It’s called a straight. Just a straight, that’s it.
