Done the same thing when my tyres were finished,I think every driver should do these kind of exercise at the end of every set of tires,it makes You build confidence on pushing the enveloppe ,build reflexes and its fun !
guy posts video for a bit of fun, can clearly see he's not in a "race situation" and is, you know "having fun" and then all the armchair experts come along to voice their opinion because they also happen to drive a kart and have an issue with someone doing something different to what they would do. fucking hilarious hurrrr durrrr muh racing lines and muh traction
+QuadRacingVids i disagree. the ultimate vehicle control is still the ability to find extra grip and take the corner faster then the rest of the field, and that wins you races. it doesnt take much skill to step on the throttle early coming out of a turn, spin the tires with a 125cc shifter, and counter-steer into the tale-whip, even though it is really fun. also does improve your driving ability by sharpening the reflexes, so i would do it with every old set of tires after you done racing on them, that is if you race
+MrAeroHD technically, drifting is a controlled loss of traction. it's not difficult to have a 125CC shifter like that fishtailing about a track... it is, however, slower to drift than feed into a bend since you're wasting most of your momentum going sideways in a drift, where feeding in, you have all the traction, full control over the turn and most important, you're much more forward facing and lose less momentum in the bend... I'll agree though, keeping a drift long enough in a corner does take some control and skill with throttle and steering... I've had a kart in a near millimetre perfect drift on a narrow track before (mind you, it was a fluke!) and it added 0.5 seconds to my time on that lap... so I just kept a normal corner feed in and hammered it on the straights... (well... as much as a little Briggs 6HP Sodi kart can go XD)
I can assure you that this hasn't been speeded up :) And in my opinion everyone can move their hands as fast as me. Remember that Practise makes perfect... and when you have to shift gears in half a second you really need to move fast, the hand and right foot too because you have to let out the throttle in the precise moment while pushing/pulling the gear lever, otherwise gears won't engage. Thanks for watching ;)
people like you are winners because you push every limit you find and when u break it u tone it down just a hair (otherwise u spin out again) ........ you sir are a badass
That looks like so much fun!! I'm starting my first season this year and this winter I tested my Gokart in the snow, with slicks, and it's easily the best fun I've ever had! :D
Fantastic driving! What an enjoyable ride. Don't be too modest, you're a skilled pilot! I have to laugh at some of the comments. People don't realise how physical it is to drive a (proper) kart, and a shifter kart is a REAL handful! Nice job.
Dave Collins... nicely said...Unless you have ever been in the seat of one of these little beasts you shouldn't open your mouth. To those who haven't..These things don't have a suspension so you are bouncing around in the seat with every bump. Just keeping your eyes on the track from bouncing around is a starter...after that keeping your feet firmly on the foot pedals....notice that when he hits a bump you can hear the intermittent throttle. Like I said... don't bad mouth it unless you've sat in one...
Now, THAT is how you drive a shifter kart.. not like the rest of these wannabe kids put-putting around on these things. Excellent video, and huge nads amigo.
All you haters don't actually realise the skill involved in drifting a kart. The driver knows its not the fastest way around the track, he's just having a good time. Wish that was me.
that's how shifter karts behave in tight circuits. when the 'power' hits everything goes into drift mode. every upshift is like someone slams you with a bat ball bat.
I AM FROM GREECE & I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR DRIVING . ESPECIALLY THE CONTINUAL DRIFT ( 1:43 - 1:48 ) IN THE ECSTATIC LAST LAP ! ! ! ! ! KEEP ON DRIFTING . . . . .OR " ΜΟΝΟ ΜΕ ΤΟ ΠΛΑΙ " AS WE SAY IN GREECE ! ! ! ! !
Pushing the limits of control is more like it!! I used to do this on a wet track to develop muscle memory (and save tires). Your hands have to learn to move fast, like a twitch or a reflex. Every kart racer knows that this skill is by far the most important, the difference between first and last. (actually knowing how to use the gas and brake might be up there). - Nice video!
Man you make me miss my go kart,I had to sell it because I'm going to a college out of town for a year so I can go to nursing school but when I get back I'm buying a shifter kart the second I arrive home.
I'm not going to upload more karting videos :( I finally sold my kart. But if you take that video with you driving with your feet, please send it to me :P Thanks for your comment, and enjoy your new kart!
Watch my new video (video response) for those who don't understand that in this vid I was just driving sideways for fun. In the new video I'm driving with the same old, bald and hard tyres, but sliding less with the purpouse of going faster. Thanks again for watching ;) Hope you enjoy new vid!
right handy drivin , you have good control and reactions. I can tell you were just out to enjoy for this vid, well done. Bet youre quick on race days;)
omg so much fun........ divin gokart once and it was so much fun... but those were like small max speed of 50 or so... that looks insane. hope do god i can drive like that soon !
fast shifting down and braking while turning the steering wheel. The clutch is in the left hand, behind the sterring wheel, but it's not necessary to shift using it. Thanks for your comment ;)
I must say that you really did have fairly good control, alright, pretty damn good. Great looking red sled you have also. I miss the smell of the karts exhaust the most and of course the GEEEEEES.....
shifter kart with 50hp in a tight circuit always side ways. the powerband when it arrives just breaks traction and driver basically has to control the over steer and keep upshifting. Softest tires will help but a big toll to the body.
very nice video,reminded me when i drive my go-kart.I use very hard tires,intended for rental karts.Not good lap timing,but very good drifting and economy,they last very long!
hey man, i know where youre coming from, i have driven at national level in many classes (in down under) and sometimes you just want to have a blast! great vid btw
It depends of the engine and the track, but you're right, sliding arround it's not the fastest way of driving. If you are driving a shifter kart you can shift down a gear so you keep the engine in high revs, then find the balance between throttle and lack of grip. What I do is slide a bit before the apex of the corner and then let the kart slide neutral undesteer till I reach the exit point (then the kart is already straight and ready to full throttle). Hope it helps :) Thanks for watching
I’m a naughty driver. I went karting 2 years ago for the 1st time! Was there 30-45 minutes, and was placed in the top 10 of all time.. I’m not boasting at all, but I can drive as good as this all day! I’m not sure if you are doing this on purpose, but to much speed into corners, gives you a slower time ✌🏼
@@maranelloo18 I thought you were just pushing the boundaries as you guys rarely spin out do you. Awesome sport.. What kind of speeds do these do 70/80’mph.. Which is fast when you’re an inch of two off the ground ✌🏼
Hey I'd call that a success story. The only unfortunate thing I can see here is the new owner having to replace the tub because of the two giant ball indentations you hammered into the aluminum. :D
My brother used to have a Coyote chassis, Yamaha powered cart... Not a shifter cart, but it still did almost 60. I remember what an absolute gas that was. We used to drive it at an abandoned airfield in our area. Good times.
I'm sure it was a great fun too. The best of karts is that you can drive em like crazy without worry about crashing it and spending thousands of dollars in repairs. You can't have that much fun in a sports car. Thanks for your comment.
I think the same, you are totally right ;) sometimes slide the kart on a corner is the fastest way to drive trough it. But I have to say that in this video I was drifting for fun, not trying a fast lap.
I used to ride 125 crossers back in the 80's. My new RM125 (H model I think it was) 1985 had 36 BHP. How much do these karts produce. They do look insanely quick. At 51 if I drove one and on the grounds it takes some arguing with to control it would probably take me a week to recover the aches and pains from the battering lol. I think the driver did really well there.
+Fred196407 Get one used and try it. I got a TaG which is like a shifter in 125CC with a push button start and no shifting. Fast as hades! Very Very fun! Very easy to work on too. I tell everyone they should get one. The odds are you will sell it for about what you paid if you buy used and don't crash.
He isn´t pushing to the limit of Grip, he is far over the limit :D The limit is the moment before sliding :P Sliding means losing time ;) Anyways, nice video :P

No matter what u guys say that is some very skilful driving there well done driver
daniel shaw thanks for your kind words :)
QuadRacingVids I have an intrepid and if this is how you really drive, I will kick your ass by far
Gus Waters then this ass hole comes along.
Gus Waters shut up, bet u couldnt do this, so dont be trashing on this guy, he could easily woop your ass
Brad Benavides Ikr this isn't driving in the edge of grip. This is intentionally loosing grip.
But i have to say that's some nice kart drifting lol

nice driving, way to keep it in the power band!!
thanks ;)
People don't understand how inch-perfect the driving had to be on this run. WELL DONE.
***** Thanks. It's true, drifting is the ultimate vehicle control demonstration.
+MrAeroHD is that good drifting in every corner ? I thought it does loose seconds
+QuadRacingVids i disagree. the ultimate vehicle control is still the ability to find extra grip and take the corner faster then the rest of the field, and that wins you races. it doesnt take much skill to step on the throttle early coming out of a turn, spin the tires with a 125cc shifter, and counter-steer into the tale-whip, even though it is really fun. also does improve your driving ability by sharpening the reflexes, so i would do it with every old set of tires after you done racing on them, that is if you race

When you spin out, that's BEYOND the limits of grip. ;)
love that start up after the second spin out

Wow! This kind of drivers are getting really close to the mastering, doing it with ease and 'sterility' ! COngrats!
Senna would be proud
That's got to be the best driving I've ever seen. You got skills
Wow thanks man! :)
All you haters don't actually realise the skill involved in drifting a kart. The driver knows its not the fastest way around the track, he's just having a good time. Wish that was me.
A lot of fun !
I must try this beast one day. Thanks for the video
;-)
Drifting in ccart is very fun :D good job man :)
Fjewt thehumble Thanks man ;)
QuadRacingVids please new vid.
Mau Schei I wish I could! I sold my shifter kart 3 years ago. Maybe if someone borrow me a kart for some laps...
QuadRacingVids WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??? :(
well by the looks of it your pushing PAST the limits of grip^^
That's how you should pilot a shifter kart tho. it's a lot of power slide into the out of most corners.
that's how shifter karts behave in tight circuits. when the 'power' hits everything goes into drift mode. every upshift is like someone slams you with a bat ball bat.

Yeah... I miss that too, maybe when I save some money I'll buy another kart as well :)
Your a sick driver man ur drifting like every turn
Il testacoda alla fine ci sta tutto... Stile di guida spettacolare!
Nice driving dude, kept control of the cart the whole time :D
this is on my bucket list
Amazing skills LOVE the kart I would pay a pretty penny for it
Man you are rough at the wheel... And you're one of 2 people I've ever seen shift overhand!
screams for longer gearing on this track
I also love karts. From now I was driving a Senior Intrepid kart, but now I will sell it and buy a shifter 125cc, the real karts ;)
Third time watching and still really cool! So fun!
I'm not going to upload more karting videos :( I finally sold my kart. But if you take that video with you driving with your feet, please send it to me :P
Thanks for your comment, and enjoy your new kart!
This cat can drive.
This isnt just pushing the limits its drifting!!!
I used to have... I won't be able to drive like this now ;)
Thanks!

Thanks again for watching ;) Hope you enjoy new vid!
People use to prefer shifting paddles but I think Kz best part is the lever ;)
Thanks!
yep,same here. Put the old tyres on and floor it! so much fun!!! but ITS GREAT when the track is wet!!!!
Excellent skills. I don't know what anyone who's dissing him is talking about
Well said :) Drifting a kart is like drifting a car... it's easier to drive fast than drifting going slower.
right handy drivin , you have good control and reactions. I can tell you were just out to enjoy for this vid, well done. Bet youre quick on race days;)
If you drive fast in wet, you are a good kart driver ;) People sometimes don't realize how hard it is.
Brilliant Video! Its amazing how most of the time you are driving one handed because you have to shift the gears. :)
Sick bit of kart control there man. Real pleasure to watch. Keep pushing it :D
Got Drift?!
Drifting Karts is so hard, esp at those angles
Jokes right?
***** not relycomes easy for me
omg so much fun........ divin gokart once and it was so much fun... but those were like small max speed of 50 or so... that looks insane. hope do god i can drive like that soon !

Wow that looks like fun I love drifting a kart bit this looks a handful!
Great video fantastic driving & clean kart
Got recommended this and you are an amazing driver💪🏼
Wow thanks Adam! It's been 9 years since I quit racing karts so I reckon now I won't drive so aggressive lol
Remembers me Gilles Villeneuve driving his Ferrari. I'm not a driver and i not even have my own kart but, when i take one to drive i always do that.
That's the way to go man! Drive straight is boring. Well done :)
I must say that you really did have fairly good control, alright, pretty damn good. Great looking red sled you have also. I miss the smell of the karts exhaust the most and of course the GEEEEEES.....
1:44 ........ that was sick!
Superb driving control, very fun to watch. But sideways is slow, smooth is the way to go. But props to the driver tho !

Je ne suis pas sur que pour les chronos cela soit le mieux mais pour les yeux c'est extraordinaires..
J'adore...
finally,been waiting for so long for this,please upload more:D
Looks fast enough to me. Also looks super fun!
Nice driving. My favourite moments in my kart are getting the hardest compound of tyres and getting a good drift session going
That's exactly what I think! You gotta get loose every once in a while :)
hey man, i know where youre coming from, i have driven at national level in many classes (in down under) and sometimes you just want to have a blast! great vid btw

Lol that sounds fun!! I never had the chance to do that
That's right :) - I got better, because i have some old tires too, and i was driving with them. and i got more 'control' over the kart!

every turn his steering wheel is the exact opposite. So nice
Drifting like a boss
very nice maranello shifter and with smal rack

This video made me get one! Now I have one and will be on the track soon.
I'm glad my video inspired you. Hope you enjoy your shifter kart! :)
totally right, then when you have a race and you put new tires you realize you improved a lot ;)
Should be called "125 drifter kart" lol
Wow that thing can shift and what a driver damn u got skills bro
That was a long long time ago. Last year a friend of mine let me drive his kart and I totally forgot how to drive... :)
Forgot how to drive lol could of fooled me haha

ah man i wanna start driving go karts so bad
Yeah, I wish I've never sold this kart!
@@maranelloo18 oof
That looks like a lot of fun!
Pretty cool video. I absolutely love karts, but didn't have the budget to go for it, and probably not the talent as well :P
Thanks :) I'm glad you liked it!
Plp mouthing gotta love it
well that was fun... now time to go rebuild my top end, new tires, and scrape the rubber off the back of my helmet....
Damn Bowser and those banana peels...
Yeah, and got no more turtle shells! ;)
That looks super fun.I need to get one of those.
awsome dude. loved the doughnut
That means you stayed till the end of the video :) thanks!
Who walks sideways is not walking forward! I've heared that before, I like the meaning of it. But sometimes going sideways can be faster ;)
