Saw some pictures of the kerbs on Facebook earlier today after just one day. Look to have been shaved down massively due to everyone launching the kerbs. Seems like it's only a matter of time until they're basically smoothed down to nothing.

I think it would be a great section of track at most other circuits, but it does look like it affects the “flow” of the track to me, bit of the odd corner out. Seems like a bit much of a kart breaker too

I hereby name it "Bent Kart Bend" hahaha....disaatrous design and decision...

i think it was a safety thing, some kid got really hurt, so they had to change the design to make it safer

i agree with you its the worst bend ever made 2 chickanes in about 10 seconds ridicilous!! Its a go kart track and motorsport is dangerous.

Odds on them reverting to the old layout by end of the weekend? Surely they should have just opened up the corner and removed the monster kerb

Shouldn’t have got rid of the chippings. As soon as it was concreted, then it just became an extension of the racetrack.

Did they not think of getting rid of the curb instead of destroying the track layout?

Way back in the day they put new chicane kerbs like this in the back corner at Rowrah. I believe they’re still like this today

You're talking absolute bobbins when you say it's a great move by whilton mill. They could have done something with the exit like put gravel or wood chip down, or even narrow the dummy grid to create more run off. Not ruin the flow of the track.

saw myself in this video watching the karts

Honestly I think they should have made the kerb taller, that way you’re even more encouraged to stay off of it and you jump too high to get a good landing so you don’t even gain any time

It looks like a change done solely for safety reasons because the old final corner (Paddock bend) was a real 'yeehaw' corner that was also a bit sketchy due to the modest concrete run-off and the close proximity of the pitwall. It has a pong of the Barcelona 2007 chicane - looks ugly and I can't see it being too popular with drivers, maybe I'll be proven wrong on that. For me, it would've been better opening the apex of Paddock bend or moving it earlier to increase the run-off and curving the start-finish straight.

Kai is also a lot heavier than the cadet drivers so he can load the outside wheels more and glide over the curb easier

Awesome! Sound like a good start

I think the idea is right, i know people are going on about ruining the flow of the track but I don't think it does too much, it makes it even more technical which is always great but the execution is not amazing. That middle kerb was always going to be launched and has now made Whilton even more of a kart breaker then it was before. It should've been flatter to allow it to run or a longer hairpin possibly...

Wasn’t it MSUK who told them to do it??

I think the flow of the last sector has sort of disappeared. I know it was a bit dangerous but maybe Whilton mill could’ve just moved the barrier back and/or adjusted the kerb . Despite the lack of cornering speed in the last corner, I hope it will brain out good racing
