A few things: 1. You're probably not loading the outside tire when you go through the corners, so make sure you lean to the outside of the kart when turning. 2. The tire compound was probably wrong for the temperatures on that day, as they appeared to never warm up properly. 3. You need smoother throttle control coming out of the corners. 4. Learn to use the rear brake with just the right amount pressure to steer the kart through the tight corners. Experiment with a light quick jab on the brake pedal to learn what the rear of the kart will do just before the corner. These are NOT entertainment karts, they require skill, so learn them and try not to get too excited, as that makes for bad driving. Smooth driving wins the day and sometimes wins the race.

Extremely impressive for a first time, you got to speed really fast in only one day and not to mention you were really pushing yourself to the limit there. I’ve never seen a first timer go all out and use every single millimeter of the track and doing the mini-lock thing for the brakes

at 69 just got my 1st rotax too .. .amazing!!! huge smiles everytime i drive it. Have fun and good luck with yr racing

I have to say very good for your first time. You’re already fairly good on the brakes and pretty smooth, building the right habits. Honestly a lot better than i did my first time in a racekart. Keep it up bro!

Boss💪

🔥🔥

Lekker milan🔥

my man spun on the very 1st corner lol. a great start mate ;)

congrats brother

Good luck man!

Nice video! Last month I drove my rotax max for the first time at Karting des Fagnes at Belgium. I shared the same emotions, the insane power is so much fun. I laughed the exact same way once I felt the rpm's rising. I felt very connected to the kart, only in braking zones I was scared to lock up the rears and spin out. So I know what to work on. I started the day with a 1.10, and after 3 sessions I did a 1.01. My goal was to hit 1min or sub 1min. Still way of the pace but I was proud with how quick I was learning. Keep up the driving and great videos!

only 115 subs?!?!?! so underrated!!

that looked pretty solid for your first time, well driven

You did a lot better in the last session. Congrats!

Lekker Milan mooi om te zien dat je ergens zo voor leeft

had my first time in a rotax last wednesday was a new experience and was crazy man.

Your in a similar boat to me. You make good videos and your a karting driver. I really enjoyed this video but a few things to work on when your driving is to make sure that your hands are more stable and smooth and also to have a straight posture while leaning to the outside tires when you are cornering. Also make sure that your arms are straight as well and not bent. But for your first session that was not bad at all. I can tell that you have a real love for the sport. Keep pushing and your dreams will come true. Much love bro!

For a first time it looks really good. Something for you to think about is your hand placement and it will change your life man. Right now your holding your hands very far down on the steering wheel wich makes you vulnerable if someone bumps in to you or if you bump in to someone, if your hands are low on the steering wheel and you have rough contact you will very easily lose control of the kart but if your hands are placed 10-2 you can keep that control of the kart without spinning out (90% of the top international drivers do this and it can help you to drive more aggressive). At first you will get very tired in your triceps because your not used to it but in the long run its the absoulte best option. Look at videos online about "where to place your hands in karting" and take help from them. Good luck in your racing career 👍👍

You had me at Noruega.

You know it's good when you spin it first corner haha

Mooiste sport die er is, leren van balans en rijden van een kart is zo helpzaam. Analyseren van je rijstijl, kijken wat wel en niet werkt! Gaaf! De eerste keer zo deed je het echt netjes! Mijn eerste keer vergeet ik ook nooit meer! Mijn stoel is daarna pas afgesteld dat was echt een mega verschil voor mijn lichaam, ook voor conditie! Nu rijd ik enkel nog met de auto en ben ik instructeur in de auto, wat mij voornamelijk is bijgestaan van karten is roteren op balans van de auto/kart en voornamelijk met de achterkant sturen op gas. Vaak kan je voor de apex je stuur al recht houden. Zo min mogelijk sturen is zo min mogelijk frictie zo min mogelijk tijd verlies. Stoel perfect afstellen en niet knijpen in het stuur en proberen op rem te roteren en vervolgens op gas te sturen. Maar gevoel heb je 100% Ga zo door je hebt een sub erbij

when i drove the first time this summer and sadly the only time right now the speed was crazy and i managed to be only 3 tenths off one of the drivers in rotax senior and he was the owners son

Mooie reactie in het begin HAHA veel te mooi

Amazing content, I'm saving up for my first kart, I'm planning on getting a rotax also. Btw what trailer are you using, I need to purchase one and yours looks decent :)

That mistake you did Where you hit the Wall thing, i did the same my first time it nearly looked like that you did. Keep pushing💪

very nice for first time, are you related to dirk schouten by any chance?

one thing i would say is ur hand placement try to have both hands at the same position as u will be able to be smoother and do the corner in one turn in.

One question what Kind of Trailer do you use ? It Looks really good.

Make sure you take out the restricter. Don’t need that. Moving to dd2 then shifter then 175cc shifter is epic every step.

Put some more air in the tires, or go to the next softer grade.

Mag ik vragen waarom je de stoel eruit haalt en niet gewoon de motor eraf?

13:03 - Verstappen x Hamilton? Schumacher x Hill? Senna x Prost?

Why does it have the non evo power valve and exhuast, but the rest of it looks like the brand new evo? Gotta love driving on cold maxxis sports tho, absolutely impossible hahah

Yo welke camera gebruikte je tijdens het racen

Did you take a photo of your big smile when you got out of it? Hehehehe ...

Did nobody tell you to warm those tyres up first?! Good effort though. Maybe you'll be ready for a fast kart after a while. I'm sure you know Superkarts will do twice that speed!

K zie mezelf 3:36

Dirk schouten?

Ohhh what a great feeling driving one of these for the first time!! I have a similar vid on my channel - about 2 yrs ago, I was all shaking coming off the track. Such a rush!! BTW - is this Rotax Max or Max-EVO? I see you have the mechanical power-valve and not the electric one, but the radiator is from the Max-Evo model.
