I don't have words to say how much you are helping me to get better man, I 'am from Brazil and it is so difficult to understand everything you say, but it is totally worthwhile tanks man 😉
My 7yr old son already doesn't want to listen to his dad telling him things at the track. Your videos have been an amazing resource! At the moment he is only driving ovals, but your advice is easily accessible, applicable, and understandable. Thank you so much!
This is 2 years old, but I'll give it a shot. Wouldn't mind a video on Wreck avoidance...Scenario, a wreck ahead causing me to sympathy spin because I'm too quick/hard on the brakes to avoid. I think this is an eyes situation, there are times when I have time to avoid, but I tend to fixate on the chaos. Any trips or tricks to get past that would be greatly appreciated.
this is something I struggled with last weekend thank you for making it clear, now I understand what I could have done better, and what I will focus on in the future!
Awesome advice Ryan. All those things are mistakes I make !! Thanks for being honest that everyone even the pros make mistakes & need to calm down & focus !!
This video came out at the perfect time for me because last weekend I was on pole for the first time, I wasn't used to to being out front so I was constantly checking behind which was distracting me from taking my line properly. Then I made a mistake and got passed and was so worried about that mistake that I made another and lost 2 more positions. I ended up 4th in a race I probably would have finished at least 2nd if not 3rd if I made no mistakes ( guy in 1st is mega quick, he just had a bad qualifying )
Another great vid Ryan :) We all do make mistakes, how we recover from those is important. I'm fairly happy with my driving atm, very in the zone and at ease in the kart. At my last endurance event there was a kart/engine on the practice day there for testing and feedback from any entered driver in the event. No changes were mad to the kart all day, just plenty of people testing it out. The fastest driver of the day, a current young full time professional racer (did the Bathurst 1000 last year)was the fastest of the day, I was happy to be only 1.2 seconds a lap off his times at over 20 years older and 20+ kilos (44lbs) heavier then him. My main challenge this year is driver coaching my enduro team mates (3 of us sharing 1 kart), the last 2 rounds I've been 1.5 to 2+ seconds a lap faster then them through the stints. I'm working on them, trying to keep them positive whilst developing, but they have there mindsets on racing and how it's done, and less likely to try to adapt to the changes to suit the kart. If I tweek the kart to make them happy it's actually slower for all of us, they are lacking the confidence that the rear wont slide out of them.
Sound advice @Ryan Norberg My main issue is I get into my own head and start to over drive its really just me needing to stay calm in the situation and as you say focus over the whole race distance. Thanks
Love the videos!!! Could you do one over how to train for karting? I recently did an enduro karting event and I did well, but want to train better for it in the future as I was really close to the track record and record for time to complete the race.
Unfortunately, that’s what I’ve been told. I came runner up in that race to someone who has 17 years of karting experience and 20 championships. I only have 3 lol. I don’t have the money to get out of 4 cycle or to compete for a full season between college and racing so I guess I need to find more sponsors lol. Thanks for the advice and I look forward to your next video!!!
My biggest reccuring mistake is missing the apex. Particularly in karting, I chronically brake too late and over-shoot the apex. I know I do it, but I keep doing it!
Ryan, great tips and sharing them at our local track. How is your camera mounted at 3.08s? Good angle and I need to improve my video footage, not just my driving. Cheers!
Recently I found myself racing against a more experienced driver in the area of starts. I was starting p2 and he was controlling the field up to the line. On the 2 starts that we had I always ended up drowning the engine and getting a slow start. Bare in mind I was pinching my fuel line. Any advice?
Don’t pinch the line. I never do that because it doesn’t help. Control the throttle with the brake on the start. Brake to slow yourself down but never get off the throttle.
It’s most likely because you are not setting up the other driver. Most of the problems are because you are too close the other driver and not timing a run. You need to make sure your setting yourself up for a pass
hi ryan, i always have issues when going into hairpins, when i go into the corner the rear of the go kart starts bouncing and when i get on the throttle i have no traction and i lose a lot of time to other drivers, i don’t understand how i always make this mistake, what do you think it could be? thanks and great video
If the gokart is bouncing, it means that there are too much grib. What I'd do I widen the rear a little to some that grib away, and will reduce the bouncing.
@@NorbergNation thanks for the advice, so instead of breaking hard and then letting the kart roll i should brake earlier or less aggressively? if i understood correctly
Just try and build up to speed. Always try to find the limit. The kart works when its on the limit. If you drive under the limit the mechanical grip of the kart won't work and you'll feel like you don't have that much grip.

I want to find a way to get these videos translated soon. Thank you for following along!
Great to have a good karting channel, rare thing, keep the good work up!
Thank you!

No one is perfect. Overcoming mistakes is what makes a good driver! Thank you!

Glad I could help. Some of the best advice I’ve been given is that you have to lose a lot of races before you win races.

Im hoping to do a video soon on how to coach so maybe that will help
Great tips here thanks Ryan
Sound advice @Ryan Norberg
My main issue is I get into my own head and start to over drive
its really just me needing to stay calm in the situation and as you say focus over the whole race distance.
Thanks
That’s the biggest thing for most drivers! If you can recognize it early enough you can make the change
It seems the mindset helps a lot during a race. Thanks.
It’s 50% of what you do as a driver
Love the videos!!! Could you do one over how to train for karting? I recently did an enduro karting event and I did well, but want to train better for it in the future as I was really close to the track record and record for time to complete the race.
That’s a great video but I don’t really have a training plan for my racing. Seat time gets you in the best shape
Unfortunately, that’s what I’ve been told. I came runner up in that race to someone who has 17 years of karting experience and 20 championships. I only have 3 lol. I don’t have the money to get out of 4 cycle or to compete for a full season between college and racing so I guess I need to find more sponsors lol.

Oh yeah and that’s 3 years of experience and not 3 championships.
My biggest reccuring mistake is missing the apex. Particularly in karting, I chronically brake too late and over-shoot the apex. I know I do it, but I keep doing it!
If you notice it, make sure you brake earlier next time. It’s a bad habit. It needs to be broken
Ryan, great tips and sharing them at our local track. How is your camera mounted at 3.08s? Good angle and I need to improve my video footage, not just my driving. Cheers!
Its a mount I bought off amazon. Look up chin GoPro mount. It straps through the front of your helmet.
@@NorbergNation just ordered. thank you, great vids.
hi it is me i was the kid at gopro you took a picture with me thank you
Nice to see you there!
how do you keep focus and not lose it frequently to some thoughts
Talk to yourself. Always be communicating on what’s going on
Recently I found myself racing against a more experienced driver in the area of starts. I was starting p2 and he was controlling the field up to the line. On the 2 starts that we had I always ended up drowning the engine and getting a slow start. Bare in mind I was pinching my fuel line. Any advice?
Try adjusting your jetting if you can (tillitson carb is the one you can adjust on the fly)
@@thomaspalmer7952 I have a standard rol vortex dell orto, it has adjustment features
Don’t pinch the line. I never do that because it doesn’t help. Control the throttle with the brake on the start. Brake to slow yourself down but never get off the throttle.
@@NorbergNation thanks
do timestamp/chapters
This help me so much
I keep getting stuck behind a slower kart but always not being able to pass them at any time
It’s most likely because you are not setting up the other driver. Most of the problems are because you are too close the other driver and not timing a run. You need to make sure your setting yourself up for a pass
What do you think about the rotax competition in Europe in comparison with US?
I haven’t raced it in europe for a while but it’s growing again in the US
hi ryan, i always have issues when going into hairpins, when i go into the corner the rear of the go kart starts bouncing and when i get on the throttle i have no traction and i lose a lot of time to other drivers, i don’t understand how i always make this mistake, what do you think it could be? thanks and great video
It might be caused by locking up too much on the brakes. Its probably kicking the rear out too much and making the kart unstable.
If the gokart is bouncing, it means that there are too much grib. What I'd do I widen the rear a little to some that grib away, and will reduce the bouncing.
@@NorbergNation thanks for the advice, so instead of breaking hard and then letting the kart roll i should brake earlier or less aggressively? if i understood correctly
I am having troubles recognizing the limit when going trough and going in to the corner, any tips on how to improve that?
Push until the kart wants to slide and back it up a little bit from there.
where did you get your helmet?
Bell helmets!
Would you recommend anything for your first time in a kart?
Just try and build up to speed. Always try to find the limit. The kart works when its on the limit. If you drive under the limit the mechanical grip of the kart won't work and you'll feel like you don't have that much grip.
Are you going to be running USPKS this weekend?
Yes I am
@@NorbergNation who’s idea was it to put a ratch and strap behind the barrier that was a terrible crash im so glad santis okay
thanks for this vids ryan 👍
Thanks for watching!
Have you started driving Rotax?
Its my practice kart that I use
Good vid brotha
Thank you!
I have a problem flipping. Any solution?
Not sure how to help with that one haha
@@NorbergNation 😂
not knowing how to fully explain to my mechanic on what my karts doing
Thats a problem many drivers have
