At 2:30 kart was bouncing because you have too much grip. You gotta take camber out. I’ve been karting for 11 years and the most important aspect is communicating the gearing and handling of the kart to your mechanic so he can adjust the setup.
Look at the exit not the apex, you will be able to judge braking and entry speed better, you will also have a smoother line without twitching on the wheel so much. Twitchy steering in the corner is fine in club 100 because the grip is lower anyway, if you're sliding and having to adjust your line mid corner in x30 you can't carry speed and put the power down early, its why you're getting dropped on the corner exit. Keeping your eyes on the exit and looking across the apex will improve your judgement no matter what you're driving in.
This. The twitchy steering is fine on early laps when the tires are cold, but once they're up to temps you're just increasing resistance and scrubbing away speed.
Purely speculation but I wonder if physically training with the equivalent of a resistance steering wheel would help wrestle the wheel to a smoother corner more easily and consistently
So much this. Actually, I always recommend looking at the next apex before you even get to the first apex. Basically once you get on the brakes, look for the apex of the NEXT corner. Sounds weird but your peripheral vision and subconscious knows what to do, you need to give it info on the next corner while your still in the first one. Takes some time and practice but you will get so much smoother and quicker once you start to get it. I also wonder if he needs a setup change. Seems to have a lot of mid corner understeer through the slower corners but that could all be driver induced. Still, might be worth a try.
@@wingracer1614 DHR should be able to set up the kart for Steve. Or maybe Steve needs some help to explain how the kart is behaving to get it set up properly. As you say there is too much movement of the steering wheel preventing from getting on the accelerator early enough
I noticed your steering inputs when I first watched your karting videos. I know you don't know the track and are trying to throw the car around, but you need to focus on being smooth. Learning to be smooth will increase your times in the beginning, but constant arcs have much less tire scrubbing. Once you smooth out your inputs and combine that with learning the tracks your times will improve. You will always not have to work so hard in the corners and will reduce all those reactionary muscle movements which dramatically increase fatigue. Smooth is fast. Smooth is fast. Smooth is fast. Pick one corner to try a smoother entry and perfect that corner. Trust your equipment. Then do another corner. You have talent - your positions are very consistent not because you are slow, but because you have a gap in your technique that is draining speed. Improve your talent by improving your technique. You got this!
Sure. And he has a lot of Club 100 experience (as he said), so he's probably struggling a little with much more corner capabilities and power. It seems to me that these karts have to be driven into and out of the corners with the pedals. The fast drivers manage to rotate the Kart with braking and throttle in a very precise way. Of course it is true to racing cars in general, but in karting you can explore it even more. 🤔
yep, saw the same, basicly, exept when overtaking or defending the line, almost every time steering into a corner is just a small moment too late, what results in struggeling through every corner, maybe try to be a little bit more agressive entering a corner, without being mad :)
very true-he is to agressive on the wheel which scrubs his speed, also he isnt braking enough- using the tires to slow him down and not the pedal- but he is doing great
The side by side video with you and Fleming really accentuates the issues with your hands. His slow roll in with the wheel keeps the rear inside tire up off the ground and better loads the outside tires, because you open your hands up multiple times you drop the inside tire which lands heavily and forces a slide. To start you could try turning in earlier just to keep the wheel in it, whenever you turned in slightly slower and earlier but still committed to power you’d lose slightly less to the karts around you. You’re doing awesome and it’s great to watch your progress! Keep at it.
27:39 He also does something that it looked like all the guys smoking past you around tighter turns were doing all weekend: he preloads the outside wheels into the turn
When you go into the slower corners and feel like you loose a little bit of time throughout the hole confer it means you might be braking a tiny bit early and not holding the brakes hard enough into the apex. This is because when these tires are under a lot of load they really like to grip up and come off the corner nicely so you go in harder and you still get a nice exit out.
Yeah exactly, could try trail braking more into slower corners since the front tyres will grip more as you put the load on them, once you’ve got the apex pinned you can get off the brakes and get that exit. Trail braking also means you can brake later as you said, just have to be careful not to slow down too much on the apex (p.s. I’m not a racing driver I don’t know what I’m talking about).
Hi SuperGT, viewer here. I know you were disappointed at how you did here.. but one thing you taught me about racing is to not get discouraged by comparing yourself with the faster drivers. it really helped me to stop thinking, "why am I not fast like these guys?" Your "How to get fast at GTS" video also really helped. thanks to you, I slowly but surely improved my times, put in the practice, and now I can compete with the A rated drivers in GTS (i'm on the cusp of A rating myself :D). So I guess my point is.. thank you. thank you for showing your struggles in overcoming challenges. it's part of racing and part of improving on yourself. The end result will be you smashing those "pros" in the future races! Cheers mate!
These videos are great Steve! I love to see what is your thought process like when facing new challenges, like a new track. It's very interesting to see that, even after years of experience, you can still learning new things and even feel like a newb sometimes. I feel like watching a legend in the making.
I absolutely love watching these videos, really throws me back into my racing days as a kid. It's crazy how much I miss the race weekends at these tracks with a bunch of mates. No better way to spend your childhood. Thanks for bringing back some happy memories
Hi Steve, i think the biggest thing you missed in the side by side with Tom, apart from smoothness, is that in the heavy breaking areas Tom brakes, loads the outside tyres up and steers in the opposite direction to the corner which sharpens the tragectory into the corner as the rear has drifted. This allows him to accelerate earlier and drive out of the corner staighter and therefore quicker.
You got it Steve!!! Keep practicing. That's racing for ya. You win some; you loose some. You are improving and that's what matters Keep it up. Love seeing these videos.
I’m honestly surprised by how close you are this early on to be honest. It has taken me a solid 2 years to get on the pace in karting. You’ve been doing it for like a month now and already where I was after a whole year. Love the content and keep grinding you’ll be there before you know it.
Its nice to see kart driver give you space. So many times I've had expensive bills to pay due to guys leaving space and then driving across me, or throwing it inside and taking me out when there wasn't room (once had a guy fully take to the grass a fast right left and t bone me on the final lap)
Funny that you mentioned karting in UKF being similar to sim racing ("just try to make a good lap on an unfamiliar track with unfamiliar car") because this pretty much sums up my experience in Round 3 of the LATESHIFT competition yesterday.
Enjoying seeing you improve at every race. At every corner I was wishing you'd went smoother and straighter on the wheel. Good Job Steve, you're going to be great one day.
It definitely takes time, and lots of practice. The switch from rental leagues to the real deal, the competition is usually pretty fierce. Most of these cats live and breathe racing. Your team seems pretty top notch, and the more seat time you log, with their support, I’m sure you’ll be way up in the mix shortly.
Chin up Steve, you know the ability is in there. As people say takes time, but if you close 3 or 4 tenths by final round that's still huge progress, race craft is clearly still there too, just need a bit of luck in some of the races. Cracking video as usual looking forward to the next one near me in Scotland 👍👍👍
this is probably the best advertising for karting that has been ever done. cause all this rental karting and stuff is nice and fun, but racing karts are something different to race and especially to watch aswell. Defenetly a really neded thing for our sport.
The fact that on a weekend where you are at a track you don't know, you managed to catch up and over take some other karters, you finish where you started in the final and you still get frustrated and annoyed at your performance means you have the correct attitude for any racing. Like you said, you are catching them already, next race you will be with them for sure.
It almost looks like you have too much grip. On the slower corners it looks like the kart is hopping/bouncing and like you said you were off on lap times. Both of those would indicate too much grip. Its most noticeable on your last lap on the last race.
Onwards and upwards. World class bunch in that field with much more experience in them carts and circuit so top half of field is like a win atm. You recognise how to improve with initial smoother delicate steering inputs, easyer said than done lol. Fitness and strength for greater smooth control also you recognised. Enjoying watching this progress keep it up
Good job man! Doing great for your first karting season! On the hairpins try to get your kart rotated a little bit more in the first half of the corner so that your pointing more straight coming out so you can be on the gas earlier. I noticed you turn a little early coming in sometimes and that makes you go wide on exit and having to turn the wheel a bit too much robbing some exit speed. Keep it up and you'l be running up front in a few races! 🤙
Try the round brown bar for the front and a short 1000mm HH axle, it'll help with the front tyres lasting gives more front bite and the axle will help off corners
Trust yourself, you have gotten to the "what am I doing here?" segment of racing. Next is the "Oh, this is fun!" segment. Apexes (Apexxii?) will appear naturally, openings will get bigger, breaking points will be automatic. This is a natural progression. Above all... You Gotta Wanna. You can do this.
Hello, Steve. Greetings from Brazil. As always a very good content (despite turning off your gopro kkkkkk). Gontratulations for your go kart journey! Keep it going! And I would like just to remind you that we are missing your GT Sport content!

love watching your karting videos man! youre really making me want to jump back in but man is it expensive edit: if i can provide a little tip, youre losing time when you leave empty space between braking and getting back on the accelerator while exiting corners, try to keep dancing between the pedals and coasting less! unless you need to save fuel or tires that is

Hello Super GT, loving the channel as always and forever a fan, great video racing with Jimmer, Tiametmarduk and Gamer Muscle and co, so cool seeing your favorite youtubers all on track :) Truly hope you are doing well and also hope you are excited for Horizon 5 :)
Mate, I’d say there’s 2 things you need to look at. First is kart setup. I’d say your team should be sorting out some of the issues you seem to have in the videos. You seem to have a lot more snap oversteer than the rest, especially on turn in. All the guys towards the back of the field had this problem.This is killing your time. I do agree though that you really need to attack the brakes much harder from the off, then trail into the corner. I bet your apex speed is very close to the rest but the kart won’t let you turn in!
Hey Steve, I’m sorry this round didn’t go the way you wanted but I suppose it’s a learning curve for you at a new circuit, either way, well done and I hope your enjoying it mate Ps. Great move on the last corner, last lap on your insta, that was sick bro
Keep your head up. But keep grinding. I'm sure those other guys have been karting for years. You'll be in the front before you know it. Every lap is practice for the next.
I heard a crazy trick a local go kart driver does to maintain higher speed and that was by riding his breaks. He would run threw the brakes but proved to be quicker
i'd love to see you commentate a lap from the kart like Russel did at Mugello last year, would be awesome to see how you analyse a new track when you arrive and jump in the kart.
You drove really well, a brand new track and you're a few tenths off the leaders Also to help with driving smoother, you could try holding the steering wheel higher up as it forces you to be smoother
Keep grinding! You'll get there
Practice does make perfect 😌
Yes! Let's get Supah GeeTee in thay-a for a ween!

That’s not enough grip. It means the kart is gripping into the track then sliding again. You can never have to much grip in anything you drive.

Yay, the premier system filling my feed with videos I can't actually watch again! Weeeee! That was fun!
I started to dislike every premier video that pops up in my feed.

i'd love to see you commentate a lap from the kart like Russel did at Mugello last year, would be awesome to see how you analyse a new track when you arrive and jump in the kart.
Dont be scared to crash. U drive like you on cold tires. Fully send it. Straighten your wheel. You’re welcome!
Glad to see Alex Albon doing well in Karting. Good luck on his new career.
You drove really well, a brand new track and you're a few tenths off the leaders
Also to help with driving smoother, you could try holding the steering wheel higher up as it forces you to be smoother
