Indeed. It’s like you’re hoping that they’ll make a slight mistake. Usually that’s when you’ll want to make the move. I watch a lot of NASCAR and F1 passing is extremely difficult so is Indy car
I worked at K1 Speed for a few months. Here's how things really work. There's 4 speeds, 4 being the fastest. Only regulars are put on speed four (35-45mph). Anybody that comes for their first time or maybe once or twice a year is put on speed 3. Kids are put on speed 1, if they seem like they can handle it, they're put on speed three. I've seen adults, GROWN men and women SO bad at driving, with zero concept of cornering, slowing down into corners, speeding up on exits, we had to put them onto speed 2. All the karts have identical batteries, tires, charges, etc. We test every cart every day in a shop in the back to make sure nobody can claim "your kart was faster than mine."
@@livingwellisthebestrevenge347 I did really enjoy working there, absolute most important thing I'd tell is to make sure you're only doing the job you're hired to do. I was hired to be a front desk operator and sometimes the boss would ask me to fill out spreadsheets on the computer or fix an issue on the track, those aren't part of my duties, I am not qualified to do those.
Such a poor track layout, if you keep your line shallow in to the two deep braking areas nobody can pass you without bashing you out of the way, they cannot brake later from a deeper line to cut back as the track turns back on itself immediately.
track is really windy and theres 2 hairpins that follow each other overtakes are hard to come by and when they do theyre only ever when the person in front crashes
Yes this layout is pretty difficult to pass experienced drivers on without them making a mistake. And there also a defensive line makes it even harder.
man thats not professional those are just rental karts professional karts go way faster than that there are many varities you got lo206 engines those go between 58-60 miles then u u got 100cc or 125cc u also got shifters which go up to 90 miles and is like driving a manual car because as the name of the kart says it has a shift knob. but for me the best category of professional karting are X30's they just beatiful.
My first time watching gokart racing and this looked fun and intense as hell. Number 22 was stressing me out lol, I feel like he/she wasn't trying to make any moves to advance when they could of. 22 was definitely keeping you from advancing. Good effort though.
It is really fun, been to a few tracks, the electric karts can get really fast. ones using a normal gas engine get fun if the track is long, these guys are best indoors imo.
Agreed. Those two super tight turns, the driver was definitely faster than the 22 and two drivers in front of him. There were a few times he had an inside run on the 22. Problem is, most refuse to let the faster driver have the position. This dude could’ve easily grabbed two more positions if the 22 moved out of the way, or at least not cut the man off as he’s diving into the corner.
Lmao 22 dove for the inside on a gap that barely existed in the first place and was always going to close, if it caused the guy they hit to spin more they probably would've been flagged bc it was their second warning

I feel like K1 need to make more tracks that encourages overtaking (at least 2). If you look at the Atlanta location, that's a good track for overtaking. one into turn 1, another into turn 6, turn 10, and turn 12. Maybe into turn 8 and 9 but it usually ends in a crash.
Even the atlanta location is hairy at times. Passing isn't too bad once the tires are warm, but it takes half the race before your tires are warm enough to really get solid enough cornering grip to pass someone in most of the turns.
I used to work at K1 and it was always interesting watching league races. Those guys raced those karts so hard I watched a dude snap a spindle just from going around a hair pin. Funny enough that was the first repair I ever did on a kart
@@monsterpoof1378 I don't know what that means but "Yeah!" I put the first part in because the track was new and I wanted to remember the "league experience" in its entirety.
Great driving man, I don’t know if I’m in the position to say this, but for some tighter corners I recommend a more “ideal” racing line. ie. late apex, it allows for a better setup for the next corner. But then again, everyone has their own style, and you seem to be doing very well with yours 👍
The issue as someone else said is nobody races properly here and just bumps you out of the way. The exterior kart protection makes people think they are bumper carts. Taking a racing line leads to you getting passed.
Indoor Karting is a ton of fun, but I would say if you live near an outdoor track, those can be even more challenging and fun. I’ve been to K1 Austin a few times and P2R once in OKC (a month before it shut down for good ☹️) and I can officially say my favorite time for karting was neither. I went to COTA this past December and went karting there. Very similar prices (COTA is a tad more expensive, but makes up for it with the speed and the track). Both are fun and great options to get behind the wheel, but if you get the chance, and have a little more dough, try some outdoor, it’s a ton of fun!
There is an outdoor track (Pats Acres) near me and I had lots of fun in their rental kart leagues. It was one race per month for 6 months and the starts were really chaotic but what a blast!
for you guys that dont know.. they have speed settings.. i raced some at 2 and then 3 .. those things throw G forces at you and will blow your mind.. totally worth the MONEY!!!!!! the track doesnt have long straights because someone would probably be dead right now if they did..
That's the thing about these indoor tracks, the lack of total space forces constraints on the limited track space which makes for constant hairpin turns where overtaking is greatly increased in difficult outside of the exceptions when there's contact usually leading to some kind of a crash or hinderance on the flow of the traffic. It ends up making really bogged down and difficult tracks that are nearly impossible to escape from as you have such little time to strategize and attack a position that isn't another hairpin turn.
The guy the onboard driver was stuck behind always took the defending line inside every corner but slammed the throttle on exit and oversteer so much. It was frustrating to watch the guy in front block the onboard driver who was clearly faster.
Now I think these guys are ready for the upgrade to Japan's IRL Mario cart racing using ....Tokyo Japan street legal Mario carts that go fast as shit... even let you weave in and out of traffic with real cars.You literally have to dress up in a costume they have and then they let you loose on the roads of Japan. The things I would do to go to Japan right now and have a massive cart race, then find an Uber driver driving a Silvia S13-s15, maybe even an R-34 and drift the perfect streets of Japan on the drive back home.
Just like a V12 it's the sound of power and you can hear it more clearly because there are no extractor fans sucking the fumes out of the room. The rest is the same... well apart from the improved acceleration.
really good driving, there are a few little spots I think you could edge out another tenth or two, on the start-finish straight be sure you're using the whole track, turns 1-4 your spot on, on turn five you're cheating in early, stay against that wall for another split second and that will have you better setup for the 2nd hairpin, then after the hairpin, from when you turn back left for 9 I wouldn't even apex ten, just focus on turning 9 into the finish straight, so hit the apex on 9, miss the 10 apex by about a foot and a half and really let the car wind out to the wall, because there isn't a corner after ten we can really manipulate the apex, and only use as much steer angle as we absolutely need, or, depending on if the kart pulls really hard in a straight it might be good to cut in hard and make the straight another 5 feet longer, but judging from the video these karts seem very strong on that corner so I would go with the miss the apex approach.
That is great and well thought out advice. Thank you for sharing your insight and I bet others who drive this layout will benefit from your strategy. Too cool!
The K1 here for the most part does not allow filming (even from the sidelines) The last I heard they allow helmet camera for their once a month league races. They even said if you had the highest points after a 3 or 4 month series you would win a gopro.
nice! been there like 10 times now maybe a total of 35 races. I got top 3 on top times of the month! pretty stoked on that. it was the month of january so my name probably isn’t on the leaderboard anymore. I started at Sykart in tigard. have you been there?
Real Frank what did you think about these K1 Ekarts? My son and I walked in to take a look after some Topgolf about a month ago. My buddy Hans and I use to be at SyKart every Thursday and Friday. Man I miss the simple times. Lol now we’ve moved onto lo206 and rotax 100’s.
@@IamRealFrank I ended up with a 28 second lap with a junior go kart which is the fastest they’ve had all week so it was pretty cool I kept my line clean and avoided any loss of traction
Fun is why we are out there for sure. If I remember correctly the people that were ahead were teens and probably 40 pounds lighter and my battery started losing oomph a few laps before the end but it seemed like we were all in the same boat as they weren't pulling away. Good times!
Thank you for the compliment and the tip. Many faster drivers touch the outside wall approaching certain apexes but my instinct always drives me to shorten the line. I'll never be the fastest but I'll be ready to dive in!
Oh my god, I went to this place and did the 40 mph gas go karts on my birthday. It was cool as hell. Or well, I think I did. I'm VERY positive it's just that since then they changed stuff it seems, but I went to a go kart place in hillsboro kentucky and it has that EXACT loadout so, I guess stuff just changes a lot.
@@JSXDrift Nah. I checked Sykart's website and it only has places in Washington and Oregon. I went ahead and did a bit of searching, it was the Full Throttle Adrenaline Park in Florence, KY. Guess the track was just VERY similar.
No but it's very expensive, when I went there it was 50 dollars just for 3 races. The wait is long too, when I go there it would always be over an hour long wait
Helmet, yeah, random people can stink. Gloves, I prefer them. I don't know if it improves performance but lots of peoples hands have been on that wheel.
the track has pretty good traction. it's hard to slide excessively. also the kart has a noise generator to simulate engine rpm though I always turn it off by tapping the upper left of the steering wheel screen.
I feel dumb asking this, but exactly how common are these K1 Speed locations? I don’t have one nearby, but apparently they’re the leaders in indoor “mid-level” karting?
K1 is international but still have to consider insurance responsibilities so they try to insure patron safety while providing a comfortable environment
Sounds like those karts are all belt driven. The indoor track where I race here in St. Louis have chain drive, and we don't have screens on the steering wheels.
I think the major issue with the electric kart is that you can't overtake other player coz of the same speed limit on them this will be different on the engine ones. But yeah nice video.
You realize they make the gas powered ones do the same thing right? Its called a governor. Its to do with speed carried through the corners and how late you brake.
It most definitely would be awesome but sadly if I’m not mistaken, they wouldn’t allow it due to safety reasons and you could be kicked off the track for attempting that type of maneuver.
No they have a remote control that controls the carts so in the beginning while people are getting ready they make it that fast so people don’t crash or movie up positions before the race
@@im_a_myth_717 Yea but the speed goes down faster, and when you complete the turn you have to wait to gain more speed again, if you just let go your speed goes down slower.
do you want to be forcing ur kart to the make the turn so you can get back on the gas without sending it to a wall or slow down and make as much as room as possible to mash the throttle in a straight smooth line
@@tokyoeagle7935 brakes let you travel less distance on the track and set you up to get on the throttle earlier because youre not struggling for grip trying to get your kart turned around, especially on hair pins
They really just warn with signs. I suppose if a pass was grievous they would have the power to nullify your position. Pushing someone wide to pass would probably be penalized if the the staff observed it but divebombing without contact could be a good way to shorten your line and get into your opponents head/break their focus.
It's more difficult to overtake on this track than Monaco
Fr though, there’s really only two overtaking spots and both of them are the big braking zones
I try to pass the slow people in the corners when they brake too early early families
not when u r racing against fellow 10 year olds
not the smartest
You’ll have to move them over
Indeed. It’s like you’re hoping that they’ll make a slight mistake. Usually that’s when you’ll want to make the move. I watch a lot of NASCAR and F1 passing is extremely difficult so is Indy car

Yo great work, I have won multiple and you're doing Great! Tip try going to the edge outside for more momentous on turns so you can pass people
Thank you for the compliment and the tip. Many faster drivers touch the outside wall approaching certain apexes but my instinct always drives me to shorten the line. I'll never be the fastest but I'll be ready to dive in!
Oh my god, I went to this place and did the 40 mph gas go karts on my birthday. It was cool as hell. Or well, I think I did. I'm VERY positive it's just that since then they changed stuff it seems, but I went to a go kart place in hillsboro kentucky and it has that EXACT loadout so, I guess stuff just changes a lot.
this is in Hillsboro, Oregon
You probably went to Sykart
@@JSXDrift Nah. I checked Sykart's website and it only has places in Washington and Oregon. I went ahead and did a bit of searching, it was the Full Throttle Adrenaline Park in Florence, KY. Guess the track was just VERY similar.
But hell isn’t cool it’s hot
@@aleesawebb2277 Gottem.
A blue turtle shell or a banana peel would help
Drove past this place many times but never stopped by
It's quite interesting.I really want to visit and enjoy the speed.
Nice to see some one else in the area!!! My time there on average is low 22!
The girl at the start is acting so much like Gina from Brooklyn 99
In what country is thay
Loved watching this,thx.
Thank you for such an encouraging comment. Cool
This dude is hitting some clean ass turns 😤🔥
😎 i ok 👍
The karts in the GP make me so mad cause if you get a bad kart you lose instantly
So F1?
This dude really knows how to cut corners. Must have played much NFS games
Question I never Ben there but I want to go try it out do you have to take your own helmet n gloves?
No but it's very expensive, when I went there it was 50 dollars just for 3 races. The wait is long too, when I go there it would always be over an hour long wait
So yeah they do have the helmet and everything besides gloves though, you won't need gloves.
Helmet, yeah, random people can stink. Gloves, I prefer them. I don't know if it improves performance but lots of peoples hands have been on that wheel.
The track sounds amazing to drive on😁👌
the track has pretty good traction. it's hard to slide excessively. also the kart has a noise generator to simulate engine rpm though I always turn it off by tapping the upper left of the steering wheel screen.
Cost$$ to Buy one?
How long can u drive em for n how much are they
There is no time for the race to end, because it has only 12 laps until the race is over.
14 laps @ average lap around 25 secs. 6 to 7 minutes per race. $22/38/50 (1, 2, 3 races respectively).
Very Cool!!! This K1 SPEED League Race
I feel dumb asking this, but exactly how common are these K1 Speed locations? I don’t have one nearby, but apparently they’re the leaders in indoor “mid-level” karting?
It's geared toward family friendly
K1 is international but still have to consider insurance responsibilities so they try to insure patron safety while providing a comfortable environment
Sounds like those karts are all belt driven. The indoor track where I race here in St. Louis have chain drive, and we don't have screens on the steering wheels.
M3 Pilot - Steve Smart they are not belt driven they are also chain what you hear are speakers in the kart that make it sound like an f1 car
Thats the electric motor making that sound dude come on. Lol
Zach Kidd no it’s not it actually is f1 sounds
M3 Pilot - Steve Smart hA me too
ok boomer
Looks fun, but not a good layout for competitive racing.
No k1 I’ve ever been to has a good layout 😂
Mega cool, I would really like to try that!
That drifting on the kart is crazy and I just think you need to get perfect timing on the drifting
I think the major issue with the electric kart is that you can't overtake other player coz of the same speed limit on them this will be different on the engine ones. But yeah nice video.
You realize they make the gas powered ones do the same thing right? Its called a governor. Its to do with speed carried through the corners and how late you brake.
It wouldn’t be fair if everyone had different speed limits. This is all about pure skill.
I only had time the watch the first 2 minutes, but it was an awesome race!
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Have you ride the ones with engines
What cart # you have?
I’m going here for my birthday today
This is just fun
I was watching this on my big screen tv and had a strong fan and I left my fan in my face while watching this
It was like a simulator
It would be so much cooler in VR..
I've fallen down a weird ass youtube rabbit hole and I LOVE IT
The Matrix
That looks so damn fun!
Love karts, I know that there are two pedals, the one on the right is accelerate, I have no idea what the one on the left does, never pressed it.
That pedal is turbo boost but it works in the opposite of direction traveled😇
We’re is the location
Hillsboro, Oregon USA
*where
Nice job man super cool
Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed it
Cool 😎
22 was slowing him down big times lol
Where can I find a place like this but with way bigger tracks. I don’t know if they had outdoors one but I’m really tryna race bro lol.
D.L .G pats acres
it seems like doesnt need too wide space. but stil have wide enough track to overtake. very good kart circuit
So cool with your foot posted up and your own gloves. :))
That's funny.
I didn't feel like covering the brake pedal on the grid lap so I rested my foot on top of it. The gloves are a long time habit.
imagine how awsome it would be if he could drift a curve and pass like 3 karts
It most definitely would be awesome but sadly if I’m not mistaken, they wouldn’t allow it due to safety reasons and you could be kicked off the track for attempting that type of maneuver.
It's slow in 2x speed in Tha beganing
Edit:i dont know what i mant but yea hay here after 7 mounts
No they have a remote control that controls the carts so in the beginning while people are getting ready they make it that fast so people don’t crash or movie up positions before the race
great racing guys! really fun to watch!
This was better than 90% of the F1 races.
Welcome to Mario Kart!
Tip: when going in for a turn, you need real balls for this tip. Don't push brake, just let go of the gas at the last second. That's what I do
Purple_Tech 1000 no, tapping the brakes is faster
@@im_a_myth_717 Yea but the speed goes down faster, and when you complete the turn you have to wait to gain more speed again, if you just let go your speed goes down slower.
do you want to be forcing ur kart to the make the turn so you can get back on the gas without sending it to a wall or slow down and make as much as room as possible to mash the throttle in a straight smooth line
@@seeblues1672 Yes...? You grammer is terrible
@@tokyoeagle7935 brakes let you travel less distance on the track and set you up to get on the throttle earlier because youre not struggling for grip trying to get your kart turned around, especially on hair pins
i love this. ive done this before too, we did like something crazy like 100 laps or something, by like lap 20 i was god damn dale earnhardt jr
what’s that big red button on the dash and ejector button?
The guards on the carts and track layout encourage dive bombing and overtakes by pushing... Is there a penalty system in the league?
They really just warn with signs. I suppose if a pass was grievous they would have the power to nullify your position. Pushing someone wide to pass would probably be penalized if the the staff observed it but divebombing without contact could be a good way to shorten your line and get into your opponents head/break their focus.
4:28 turn overtake 👌
where is this
Where is this, San Francisco Bay Area?
