UPS AND DOWNS OF KARTING | 2024 Club100 Sprint Championship Round 7 at Lydd Circuit | August 2024
It was nice to finally get down to Lydd, a track I have seen so much of over the years in footage but never had an event there, nor is it even with 3 hours of me to make a day visit. The facilities were well kept and was a nice track to visit.
Unfortunately it just didn't go my way at this event. I would say it was the first time I felt doing absolutely no practice did quite a lot of damage to my chances. The final was also frustrating as it was an incident I had no control over, but that's how it goes sometimes. The next round for me is at Whilton Mill and I cannot wait to give that track a go in one of these Club100 karts.
Enjoy the footage and see you soon :)

Cardiff was closed this week so I thought it would be a good time to pop over to Bristol and enjoy that track for a change with some of my other Cardiff friends. It turned out to be Grid Series and it was a 38 driver sell out! Had a lot of fun driving around, the format was quite basic but I made the A final through qualifying and have this 30 minute race to show as footage. I was actually the ...

Going into this event I was more excited than ever, Rissington Kart Club offer absolutely no opportunities for rental karting so I knew I was going to once again enjoy learning this new track. It really is in the middle of nowhere but luckily over the right side of the country for me to travel to! Hope you enjoy the footage, I call it a 'no practice podium' because there is a big emphasis to pr...

I am surprised I have not driven at Clay Pigeon, as I say in the video it's a track that is pretty close to me but doesn't really have a rental scene. I do believe they have owner karts but it's more of a Stag-Do vibe about them. It's unfortunate that I didn't hit record for my final but it was actually pretty dull anyways as the wet weather at the end spread the field really far. I still wante...

There's upsides and downsides to double-header rounds. I think it's great to get two rounds out of the way in a day. It means less travelling for most and you always see a radical change in the points and standings. That part is exciting. The interesting variable to Formula Fast was the track layout, it made things a little different. I enjoyed my time at Herefordshire Raceway in this video but...

Ellough Park is really far away, from what seems to be everybody. Are you seriously telling me people live near to that track? Despite the gruelling 5.5 hour car journey, I really enjoyed my time at Ellough Park and it was really fun to drive. It gives off the same vibes as Llandow in many ways, I guess that's just being a go kart track in the middle of nowhere. It was nice to get some time in ...

I originally thought it was a little bit strange to put "Finally, dry at Buckmore" in my video title but I think it fits my thoughts the best. When you travel over three hours to get to a race track, it's so frustrating that each time you show up it's raining and you cannot enjoy the speed of the karts on their limit especially through exciting chicanes and long sweeping hairpins. Thank you for...

Formula Fast can always provide an entertaining event. It was great to get two events done in one day as it means less travelling for most and we get plenty of racing.

I enjoyed the track, it definitely played into a 90s and 00s vibe with the look of the track and surroundings.

It doesn't feel right coming back to Brighton so early into the SRK season as usually it's a late season fixture. it's a track I enjoy a lot and do find that the track and karts are quite easy to pick up and found that because of this most drivers were within just 0.3-0.5s of each other during the races.

The team were so welcoming as they understood we were from the UK and had a great time checking out their facilities and track with a guided tour!

When I go go karting I’m more of the Daniel Ricardo 😂
And he kept cutting you off
Such a shame about that lap 1 incident. Lydd seems like a great track!
It challenged me a lot. Not sure why we don't go there for anything else.
Lydd is one of those tracks that rewards full commitment and aggressive driving to extract laptime so without doing practice it was always going to be a struggle. Give me a shout if you need some seat time in practice for the rest of the season. I've got tests booked for all of them and happy to let you have some time to get your eye in. Very unlucky with the B final start. I've seen the footage from behind, nothing you could have done, there were two people inside you and one drove into a gap that was closing and drove over your radiator.
Thank you for the offer! Sadly I am missing Llandow for a clash with an international event and that's my closest event 😆 The B final was unfortunate. I was very surprised when I was told I couldn't go back out. Generally you can just get another kart and dot around out of everybody's way! I don't blame them, though it was their kart being trashed. . I will keep testing in mind and see what goes, appreciate the view as ever and see you soon 😃
3:05 andreas with his weekly attempted murder
Very unlucky!
Bristol always brings some good racing! I thought about going up when Cardiffs event got cancelled but decided against it.
I'd recommend it but take friends so you can enjoy it more 😀 it's always difficult doing a new track if you don't know many people.
@@ChristopherBallKarting I will be trying to drag miles and Dylan up for a Thursday after bikc😅
Really glad you held up everyone behind you by managing to defend when you were in 9th because I had an absolute dog kart in that race and they probably would have caught up to me too since i was slower than middleweights on the straights due to the kart having no straight line speed. I qualified 2nd in the A and dropped to 8th because of that kart lol
The kart was probably even worse however being very lightweight you were able to get enough out of it to not be a disaster! It's like that sometimes 😃😃
@@ChristopherBallKarting yeah that's true, other drivers would have probably been much more impacted by it than me
Whats annoying aswell the guy hitting you is ruining your lap times sadly.
You're like the Christopher Bell of karting.
"he just turned into me" ahh argument
Yesterday I had similar experience. Guy was pushing me into walls at any overtake attempt so I had to go on brakes in order to avoid crashing into it. Then I managed to get onto his inside in one hairpin and was kind of wide on the exit so there was no space for him to go. Do you think he hit the brakes? No he hit the wall and almost flew of the kart... And guess who got "the talk" afterwards. Yep it was me. Am I the asshole?
How did you keep your cool man, if that happened to me, that guy would definetly know how hard getting t-boned really is
Great effort out there Chris. Was gut wrenching seing you loose a position over the line after holding 4th for so long.
Unfortunate but an enjoyable fair race 😃🔥
My friend top drive that a new track aswell brilliant well done mate top insight as ever loved it 👊🏻🏆
Always appreciate the view Wayne, see you soon 😃
Great overall position Chris! Lovely racing in those heats🔥🙌
A big shame there is no rental scene at such a close track to myself!
Great result that Chris, absolutely smashed it! 🔥
Wish we could go more often 😃
Why did you have to start every heat from the back?
For three heats you have to start with a 'fair' set of positions. There were 28 drivers split into 2 groups with 14 in each race Heat. My starts were 6th (middle), 1st (front) and 14th (back). Another driver might have a 2nd, 5th, 13th. Another driver might have 3rd, 4th, 12th. I never enjoy the back starts!
I got kicked out of a kartingcentre like this because of this situation. Guy constantly turned left in a righthand corner when i was beside him. I had enough of it and left a bit of space... and at the first right hand corner i floored the throttle behind him while he was braking, sending him extremely hard into the barrier. Got out of my kart, and stomped his helmet with my foot. Gave my thumbs up to him and left the track.
Enjoyed that mate great vlog as ever MR CARDIFF 😉was great to see you at red lodge top man 👊🏻
Great video Chris! Its's good to see Cardiff back on the channel!🙌
You were there or there abouts mate top job great vlog as per fair play mate 👊🏻
the problem is not that moron. The problem that marshals didn't black flag him.
ゴミみたいな奴は ゴミみたいな扱いでいい。 クリーンに走る必要は全くないw
Nice onboard!
Brexit or exit😂😂
dont be shy, send him to the shadow realm
Good video Chris! That afternoon looked unbearable with those karts 😕 Red lodge seems like a fun track so I hope you do very well there! Good luck 👊
Looking forward to trying Red Lodge out. Not sure on the headcam situation. I have a chest mount but if you watch my Three Sisters 2022 video - it sucked!
Enjoyed that mate 👍🏻a few dodgy karts about I really enjoyed the track for my first time there it was a fun day see you at red lodge 👊🏻
Top that mate great drive and event did yourself proud 👍🏻it’s an honour to be behind you on the grid Sunday for 1 corner at least 👍🏻top man 👊🏻
Love it man 😃😃 always nice to see you
Well driven - I was in your second heat (Red Suit, black helmet) - interesting to see which parts of the track I pulled away from you and which bits you caught me!
Just uploaded my Ellough Park video 😃 Thanks for watching. I love it when I appear in other people's footage. Especially when I don't expect it 😆
come to DRKC 2024 mate
Really tough 3rd Heat mate, you had a solid day though regardless and was great to see you up in the A Final 🔥
🔥🔥
Enjoyed that mate 👍🏻it’s always a shame the karts decided the outcomes you got a couple of dogs but great b final drive 👊🏻
Thank you for watching as ever friend 😀🔥
Great stuff there Chris! Might be doing some of these events next year with my new team so it's good to see how challenging these events can be🔥
Bro,Alesi did not know how to drive and if someone sees you driving like that they will think that you just passed man😅
Another point that needs mentioning IMO is how on-point the marshals were with judging incidents. There were hundreds of overtakes and I feel like in all important battles the marshals were aware of what had happened and made the right calls.
41:45 Did you receive a penalty for not coming to a complete stop there?
In my last heat. Someone got an orange flag passing me. It wasn't even for a decent position and they still gave the orange flag, I was very impressed with that 😃
Did well mate 👊🏻👍🏻I’m going to turkey in august and going to a local track in marmaris please tell me your not going to be there 😉so I might beat some newbs and be the trkc 🏆😉🤣🤣great vlog as ever mate top watch 👊🏻
I’m exactly this guy but only to my friends 😭
Great stuff Chris!🏆 Lot's of respect for you this year considering it looks like your in a event every week this year 😂 Good luck at the kroc at buckmore and any future events👊🔥

Brilliant mate so pleased for you on 🔥 🏆🏆luckily I didn’t hold you up and let you through your definitely no my race 👍🏻😉and I got so lucky to get kart 17 3 times during the day 🤷♂️🥲🥲🥲🥲top vlog mate 👊🏻
2:09 dude litterally is on 2 wheels
Honestly just surprised this wasn’t black flagged
Great video chris! Looked like a lot of fun out there on the day and hopefully I'll experience that next year! Shame about that 3rd heat but a great recovery from it in heat 4!🔥 Wishing you the best if luck in Belgium now and hope to see you at Cardiff again soon!🙌🔥
Top effort mate I had to put my glasses on to see you in the dark and still couldn’t 🤣more lighting required there surely 🤷♂️looks a great track a bit tight but good 👍🏻sometimes it’s in the luck of the kart gods 😩good luck in Belgium 🇧🇪 go well 👊🏻
Great effort here Chris, shame about the slug kart that looked painful 🤦🏾♂️ Keep up the great work and best of luck this weekend at BNC! 🫶🏾
