Literally more fun to watch. One limitation for me with F1 is that it's harder to get a sense of the forces, speeds and physics involved on camera; it's all a bit beyond comprehension and imagination. With karts I can look at it and know exactly what's going on.
MrFoulksy i know nothing about youtube monetization statistics but i assume Steve does well enough to continue this video series as well.. i hope so anyways
Have you ever considered moving into car racing? Because you are certainly one of the best drivers in the country!!! Just imagine ‘hello viewers super gt here with some real life car racing’ I know it’s ridiculously expensive but sponsors would be interested as you have so many viewers and your exceptionally fast as you’ve proved many times before!!
@@j.o.e2683 the good old saying is "choose what you think would be a good budget to start with, then double it". Buying gear, getting a liscense, and maintenence of your own vehicle can be pricey. I don't know the exact numbers for the VLN 4 category, but I'm sure Google can give you better answers than I can. I've heard 3 stories of karters who became VLN drivers and it does seem fun. Not as intense as GT categories, but still small enough to have that charm.
I even met this channel the first time as I stumbled over one of your karting videos in my "Recommended" section :D Your channel is great stuff, dude. Love the GT and karting videos!
I've watched a couple of hours of your videos now mate and I think your content is awesome. Saw in an early video you added commentary from a viewer request. So glad you did because you're honest and there's no bullshit. Keep it up man, your race craft and understanding of lines and physics is awesome. A true racer!!!
Am truly addicted to these vids. Great camera, great commentary. Love the humility and yet the recognition when it was done well or not so well. I literally grip me chair arm when the action is getting tight.
Love the karting vids! I’m literally death gripping the side of my chair every time I watch these videos, they’re super entertaining and you’re always on point with the racing and commentary! Also love the addition of the track cameras, you should definitely keep those cuts in in the future.
A lot of the time they do that sort of thing to make the aerodynamics better and to "push" the Kart forwards. It doesn't normally do much but it's more the drivers just willing the karts on as a habit lmao. You see racers do it a lot down the straights or out of slow corners
additional to the aero part, there are people that say leaning forwards takes weight off the rear tires and allows the engine to spool up faster. thats why drivers bouncing in their seats was popular for a while until it was banned.
omg this again was so tense my heart was beating faster and faster as it gets closer to the end. i really love these carting videos, its so exciting to watch!! thank you
Great video I wish there was karting races in my country really want to do it, I've done karting previously and I'm in love with the sport. Top driving as always.
I love how friendly you all are with each other! Seeing 1st and 2nd shaking hands moments after barging each other off the track is heartwarming. Definitely more of gentleman culture in this than in high-end motorsport, where half of them act like spoiled children. I have a question, too - what's the policy on contact in karting? Obviously a lot more contact happens and is tolerated, but where do they draw the line? edit - also just to say, 11:13, funniest moment on the channel so far.
You're wrong when you say it may seem a bit boring going around and around with no action. We see the lines, the angles, the little quirks in driving style, the gap closing. This is amazing stuff, keep it up!
Love your videos! Your a great racer with a humble attitude. IV learned a lot from your videos. I race in the USA at a small time track (indoor). I'm in my 3rd season in The lightweight division. I finished 6th my first season, 3rd my 2nd season and this season I'm in 3rd with 5 races to go.

A dashcam or another gopro (if you have the money) on the back of your helmet to use as a rearview mirror would be a great adittion hehehe... Great races. Hope we get to see some other karting circuits/events 👍🏿
The clarity of the recording in these videos is great! One question; when you put your head way down to your steering column, what are you doing? Checking fuel or speed or something? I imagine it provides a bit less air resistance as well but you've only got your head down for a fraction of a second so I don't imagine that's it
Some great racing. I noticed at the beginning you used a slipstream stance by poking your head behind the steering wheel for a quick second but never really did it again. Are you guys allowed to slipstream your body? If so I'd recommend hunching your back down the straights and making so only your eyes and the top of your head just barely stick out above the wheel. All the Stars of Karting champions and I always did that and it's not a huge boost, but as I'm sure you know in karting any little bit of speed makes a huge difference since momentum is key.
the classic handshake or fist bump conundrum on display
i can relate lol

Loving this karting content.
Makes me wanna get into it more myself
same here
Insert generic "same"comment
Yeah it's too expensive though
@@alexismandelias same
real life racing is best
Zero disrespect to your gaming content SGT but this is head and shoulders above. Loving these karting vids
John Lyon nothing beats the real thing
Not joking, as far as Motorsport entertainment goes, this is currently better than F1.
DuffMan790 Agreed! It’s totally thrilling, with great commentary of course but...wouldn’t be hard to be better than F1 right now 😖
@@Zakalwe-01 Apart from todays race which was actually good for once. Verstappen was brilliant.
Usually the slower the cars the better the racing
Literally more fun to watch. One limitation for me with F1 is that it's harder to get a sense of the forces, speeds and physics involved on camera; it's all a bit beyond comprehension and imagination. With karts I can look at it and know exactly what's going on.

A video about the costs of running a series of karting like this would be great.
£188 a round.
MrFoulksy i know nothing about youtube monetization statistics but i assume Steve does well enough to continue this video series as well.. i hope so anyways
@@MrFoulksy XD much expense. Need to get me a promotion to afford such costs!
@@MrFoulksy for that kart? Petrol? Costs of transport? Suit? Helmet? Gloves?
Daz555Daz Club100 supply the kart. I believe you can use their helmets and suits at the event but almost everyone has their own kit.

@@themagicslinky1773 how expensive is it?

@@themagicslinky1773 Ok, sounds interesting! How good of a karting background have those guys that you know about had before moving to vln?
@@j.o.e2683 I can confirm one was a kart driver for 4 years before vln joining motorsports at the age of 21, the rest I can only guess.
Why am I enjoying this SO MUCH? Great content, keep it up!
Didn't say "Super GT here" at the start. Disliked, unsubbed and sent myself to the shadow realm.
@@SamGamerOfficial how is the original comment 33 minutes old but yours 40?
You didn't have to do that. Just log on to GT Sport and someone will do it for you.
I legit had no idea was was doing the video commentary because of that
@@tonydraht when your reaction times are so on point

Thinking of getting into karting in the near future, you're channel is addicting! haha Love it!
Can someone explain why they keep putting their heads down?
Is it like a DIY DRS? 😂
Yes
Basically, yeah. Also you might see drivers jumping in the kart on a flat part of track, if there revs are low
@@cpt3322 Oh. I thought they were trying to activate Mario boost.
Irshaad Shaikh you’re allowed to put your head down (duck dive) 3 times a race.
They put there head down because it helps with airflow on the straight
Am truly addicted to these vids. Great camera, great commentary. Love the humility and yet the recognition when it was done well or not so well. I literally grip me chair arm when the action is getting tight.
Love the karting videos, probably my favourite. Just shows actually how good of a driver you are
For the first 30 sec i was debating if this was irl footage or a video game.
lmao same. I thought it was forza 😂
Green poison you've then obviously played too much videogames and you should get professional help.
@@AmnesiaForever i probably spend more time into video games, and i could imidietly tell its not a video game.
Please post your racing schedule, I'd love to watch it live on Alpha Live
I love your vids man especially the commentary, you actually sound like you don’t know the final result. 😆
Love the karting vids! I’m literally death gripping the side of my chair every time I watch these videos, they’re super entertaining and you’re always on point with the racing and commentary! Also love the addition of the track cameras, you should definitely keep those cuts in in the future.
Why do drivers keep looking down on the same place?
A lot of the time they do that sort of thing to make the aerodynamics better and to "push" the Kart forwards. It doesn't normally do much but it's more the drivers just willing the karts on as a habit lmao. You see racers do it a lot down the straights or out of slow corners
additional to the aero part, there are people that say leaning forwards takes weight off the rear tires and allows the engine to spool up faster. thats why drivers bouncing in their seats was popular for a while until it was banned.
Looks like they’re checking a timer or some instrument to me. For an aero effect, their heads would be down all the time.
@@cbrunnem6102 Never knew the bouncing on seat was prohibitted, at least in my country it is still widely accepted. Why was it banned?
@@Zakalwe-01 tecnically, we should do it everytime, but I can't imagine myself driving without looking at the track lol
I. LOVE. THESE. KART. VIDEOS. Keep up the good work, Steve!
I love your content, between live karting, your commentary and now F1... I love it!
omg this again was so tense my heart was beating faster and faster as it gets closer to the end. i really love these carting videos, its so exciting to watch!! thank you

Fantastic racing. All the best and keep the karting content coming, loving it 🏁

This is the best video you have ever posted on your channel. And I'm only halfway done watching.
Never gone karting and never watched any videos of it before but loved this video all the way through. Really interesting and enjoyable content!
11:26 I am actually LMAO!!! This is crazy!!! Winning is nice but staying in that pack must have been a lot of fun.
I am watching this with Koopa Beach theme (SNES) it´s the best thing ever!
hahahah thank you so much
This is the best series on this channel, love the karting videos.
Love it. Just signed up to a racing league at my local rental track. If I’m half as good as this by the end of the year I’d be stoked.
I honestly love this type of video as much as watching you play GT sports! Didn't find it boring at all :)
Holy smokes that was exciting to watch!! i was so on edge watching you get closer and closer and the punt on the inside!!! ahhhhhhhh
Really enjoy these videos, keep up the good work in general Steve!

Can't get enough of these karting vids
Just went electric karting just the other day. Had a blast. Love the kart content friend
11:19 this is an indestructible force
Better then F1 - keep it up mate, great work!
5:00 Nice images! Congrats to your camera man!!!!
11:32 when the karts going into the corner is twice more than the Earth's population
Newly subbed, this is quality viewing. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos. Keep it up!
That second race, wow! There are a few racers trickling through and then just a massive group of racers. Like they completely demolished the barrier
11:16 Starting from this moment, I was laughing so hard.
Get in there GT! Great racing and awesome content!
Your Karting videos, are, well... pretty freakin' awesome! Great driving, dude!
That GoPro is fantastic!
I don't watch every video you upload but I must say that those carting are the best you've ever made
I'm surprised because there is a safety kart 😂😂 very professional! Congrats Steve!

ain’t gonna lie this was really entertaining
Love these karting videos
Cracking video Steve - great advert for club100. Look forward to seeing you sail pass me at Rye!
This is awesome, please do more kart videos.
The race raft is so good between you guys
17:29 this is the best part in any sport
I’m getting on a plane. The Arrive-and-Drive programs there are so sophisticated!
See you soon bro =)
11:10 I legitimately laughed at the next 30 seconds. Aren't you glad you weren't mixed up in that nonsense? It looked like a pack of bikers.
That pass on the first race was CLINICAL
I’m liking these carting videos
A dashcam or another gopro (if you have the money) on the back of your helmet to use as a rearview mirror would be a great adittion hehehe...
Great races. Hope we get to see some other karting circuits/events 👍🏿
That was fascinating to watch! Thanks for uploading 😊
yay our biweekly karting video is here
Love this stuff man! Great driving too!
I wish they had this in western Canada. Looks a ton of fun.
holy crap!!! 5 wide. this is amazing
Really interested in your track breakdown. I've wondered why you see some people take a wider path on turn one like you said. Great racing.
Yea another brilliant kart video. These are awesome, more of it.
Awesome video! Keep up the good work with the fast action! * Liked & Subscribed.
I really enjoy your video game posts, but I'd rather watch your actual karting any day! Keep up the good work, and be safe!
I like the multiple view points. Nice to have the live camera views sprinkled in
Love the evolution of this channel! But will you be able to race other tracks?
This tracks amazing dont have to break much and can use the full power of these karts
It was a nice race! Cool story telling
These videos are still superb, just reminding you
Loved it! It's so entertaining! Keep tue vdos coming
Woah, done watching one video, this one pops up immediately! Perfect timing! 👌
Go karting vidoes are the best 🚫🧢
take more space, eliminate oversteer and you will catch him. Amazing video
11:28
ThE horde!!!
🤣
I want more of these video man I love these
Graphics be gettin so good I thought this was a game for the first 3 mins
I enjoy watching this more than the Sims personally.
Awesome driving!
Great content! Enjoying in America!
Enjoyed that, well done!!
I see this is a year old, but your vids do give me inspiration!
I live about a five minute drive away from a Club 100 warehouse. Small world.
Such clean, decent, fast racing. That's the difference between professional guys and crazy buggers like me trying to win everything into turn 1
You really make me want to race Karts.
Would love to see a track guide not only for this track but all of the ones club100 go too. Great racing keep it up
Wish we had a club 100 like series over here in the different parts of Canada
Loving these irl vids
You should put the lead as low and stationary as possible. Sit on it if you can. Lower the center of gravity every little bit.
The clarity of the recording in these videos is great! One question; when you put your head way down to your steering column, what are you doing? Checking fuel or speed or something? I imagine it provides a bit less air resistance as well but you've only got your head down for a fraction of a second so I don't imagine that's it
That is it. He very tall so he tucks his head to reduce wind drag.
