  • How to be Consistent
    Feb 9 2024

    Winning races comes down to being fast, but also being consistent.

    That might mean stringing 10 laps in a row within 1 tenth of a second. What this does is, by making less mistakes, chasing drivers will find it harder to overtake and beat you.

    Consistency means finding the same markings around the track and aiming to hit these points lap after lap.

    Drivers should be looking out for landmarks around the circuit and not using a shadow as this will change from lap-to-lap and session to session.

    But sometimes that means we need to overtake our competitors to get in-front and win the race.

    Setting up a pass so that the driver doesn't get you back the following turn or switch you back on the exit.

    We try providing tips and techniques to listeners to make efficient overtakes and stay ahead of the pack.

  • Go Kart Rear Axle Setup
    Dec 14 2023

    Today we're discussing go-kart rear axles. When it comes to motor racing, cars have suspension. So karting is different because the rear axle acts like a suspension. It might flex a little bit here and there depending on the stiffness of the axle, but realistically it doesn't spring like suspension does. 

    So, it's important to use it as a tuning tool depending on the conditions that you are driving in. You might find if it's 15 degrees or it's 35 degrees, you might have to use a different axle, or depending on the tire compound or the changing grip levels across a race weekend.

    Drivers & mechanics can also change the length of the axle. The different stiffnesses change how much the kart flexes in the rear. There are different size axles for cadet karts compared to a senior kart. It's important to know that most kart manufacturers send karts out with a neutral medium axle. Now, the reason why karts are designed around that neutral setup, is it gives you a bigger window to fine tune your setup of the kart. You're very limited with the changes you can make when you're at one end of the spectrum. That’s why kart manufacturers design karts around a neutral setup, and at least that way you can fine tune the chassis it if it's not quite right. You’re able to try a softer axle or to a different length axle.

    If you need to learn more information about how to setup your go kart, we have a dedicated Kart Setup Guide, to help you make informed decisions across a race weekend. Check it out here: Go Kart Setup Program (kartclass.com)
