Oh man, that jump! What a wonderful experience.
Time tag maybe?
@@js-racing9646no
07:40
@@js-racing9646 It's the crest at 5:00. If you watch some shifter kart race videos it's easier to see the kart in front of the POV kart catch air. It's about as tall as a 3-story building and super steep. You can see it better during the track walk at 0:56
It's crazy how much water those tires can evacuate and still have so much grip!
Looks like the 90's f1 cars
Unsurprisingly these kind of karts chew through tyres even quicker than the X30/Rotax karts he used to race. You’ll get 1 day max with these
@@weirdstonk729 Yeah, this things be super soft and sticky.
@@weirdstonk729 In the US at least the X30/Rotax use the same tires as Shifter: Evinco Reds. KA100 and LO206 get Evinco Blues (harder, longer lasting). The only difference between TAG and shifter in the US is lack of front brakes on TAG and only 1 gear and down a few horsepower depending on class to enable a wider powerband. The chassis and tires are identical, some people will even remove or disable the front brakes and shift lever and use a former shifter chassis in TAG. Lower kart classes generally run a softer chassis that wouldn't hold up to the grip in TAG/shifter.
NEEEOOWWWWW
Everyone know about the multilingual
NEEEOOWWWWW
NEEEOOOWWWWWW
NEOOWWWWW
NEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWW
MEEEOOOW
I heard a very familiar laugh in the background, looked closely and there was Mr. Tire Tester, Randy Pobst. Randy is such a fun cat to hang out with!
I'll be darned... 5:40 you have a good ear and eye!
4:08 “little bit wide through there”
Mate i woulda ruined my pants 😂
I used to race kz2 carts which would be very similar to this i think and they were scary AF drifting on 3 wheels through corners and my neck even after 2 seasons would only last like an hour before my head would feel like a ball on a string. Great video and great driving for someone whos tried it first time must have been a amazing experience! the hardest part about driving shifter carts is keeping that thing in right revrange there is sooo many shifts in a lap and if you miss one ur fukd
Edit: what an amazing track!
I did two test days on a KZ2 once, and gotta admit, especially after putting on a set of new yellow Vegas, I was fucking done at the end of the 2nd day. At the time I was an active Rotax Max racer for the last 3 years already but the KZ was a whole different animal, it was so insanely fast and the Vegas gripped so much more than the Mojos it was ridicolous lol, not even a new set of D3 Mojos were even close to the grip level of a used Vega. Never got to race a KZ2 but it was fun as hell to test it
You should know that these are karts if you drove them for years
Shifting is so important because of the 2 stroke powerband right?
@@dxvylou You've got it right.
@@dxvylou yep, under 8 thousand RPM a Rotax MicroMax packs a bigger punch than a KZ, but above 8k the KZ just goes morbius mode
Race KZ's and the best tips besides the basics are that you have to push down upon the steering wheel as hard as you possibly can at all times to control the kart. You need to engine brake just as much as you use the actual brakes. (downshift at the same time as braking) Set the brake bias to the fronts as much as you can handle, and the driving line is completely different than anything else. Racing a KZ at pace is like controlling a demon
Such a fun track! I’ve only done rental karts there, but that fast downhill section feels amazing. You tore it up in the shifter kart 👏
Shifter Go-Karts are one of the best experience you can have driving! So fast, changes directions so quickly, and braking is so aggressive! What a machine!
Thanks for sharing that video!
Spent a lot of years rowing 6-speed 2-stroke 125's around motocross tracks. It's the best soundtrack in my head. They will over-rev (unless those have a hard rev-limiter), and mid-corner it is sometimes better to hold off on the up-shift you are tempted to make in case you do get a bit sideways. If it falls off a bit, you are still in the right gear, plus the tapering power is a bit of traction control.
This is insane to watch after watching you since your early Club100 karting videos Steve! Track looks insane, way more undulating than any UK Karting track looks like. Hope to see more of this!
Looks absolutely insane, these types of karts are a super underrated piece of racing machinery
That's awesome, I saw you guys up there later in the day as the rain came pouring down, but didn't want to bother you at all. The track is phenomenal, and glad you got to come all the way out to Dawsonville to experience it... sooo much fun in the wet, we took out the concessions with the slicks on later in the day, which is pretty nuts. You're not kidding about the physicality of it though... especially when you're smacking the kerbs as hard as you were. Loved the commentary and video though, looks like you had a blast.
man i love the AMP karting track. so much fun in the sim. so nice to see you have a go at it!
WHAT! Nobody is going to mention Randy Pobst chilling in the background at 5:40!!!!!??? What a legend!
Yeah I immediately recognised it was him from his laugh 😂
Don't forget the legendary Barry R making an appearance at 13:08
Hope you got to drive the normal track too; and can head over to road Atlanta for a track day while in town! (Also the Porsche driving experience is in Atlanta as well, lots of fun!)
good stuff, it is really beyond me how your onboard footage is miles better than F1 onboard footage these days and you're driving a kart with a GoPro bolted to the radiator
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for letting us see that experience.
What an awesome track!!! Nice driving as well!
Bought a KZ for some practice days this year and even after years driving a Rotax, the level of performance blew my mind. They are savage things. Fantastic job taming that beast Steve, especially in the wet! They are a full on test of concentration and ability. If I bump into you down Lydd at some point you are welcome to some laps 😀
Ha, I just bought a KZ recently and was meant to reach out to offer you a drive! Was interesting to hear your thoughts on how aggressive it is, I’ve heard you’d be in Formula 2/3 to be getting similar acceleration, braking and cornering G’s. Anyway glad there’s more KZ content in the world 🎉
Played Atlanta on KartKraft a lot, absolute dream track with the elevation change - it’s a shame there’s nothing like it closer to home!
Agreed it was crazy seeing that game reenacted live with Super GT 's excellent commentary. Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton have often said that the best they've ever done is super karting, respect.
Great job out there in Hot-lanta!
Driving those karts is brutal on the body without a suspension on them.
AMP is one of my favorite (and luckily local) karting tracks I’ve been on. I would love the chance to try and send it in a shifter kart! The track feels open and flowing with their rental kart fleet.
Glad you got to come and experience the track and the facilities out here!
Before I actually went to a track event I would have told myself,” wow this looks easy”. After a couple of track events I realize I would probably die if I drove this cart lol. Love your videos. Been watching for years. Always a treat whenever you post.
I was impressed with your skill set you started off a lot quicker than I was expecting.
I was thinking about you when I saw this. Good to see you out there. I can really relate to your experience on the shifter. I didn't get a shifter until I was in my forties, and although it was far from the fastest, the jerky acceleration gave me neck problems, and the cornering forces hurt my ribs. It was so fast down the straight that it felt like it was going to blow my helmet off. It was really too much for me. Karts really are amazing, aren't they? Good luck and keep up the good work.
Elevation changes in that track look awesome!!!! Nice layout.
I'm absolutely impressed with supergt's adaptability, from club100 karts to forza to granturismo to horizon to needforspeed to bilstein bmw, shifter kart, and more sports and racing cars, and sims.... the way he just goes in and does really well the first time, and keeps on improving quite quickly in all track conditions is amazing to me
I had a shifter for a few years and those things are insane to drive. I made a few videos of me in it and the first time I drove it and remember thinking that the track was coming at me faster than I could process. He is right, they are very physical to drive. If you ever get a chance to drive one, do it!!! It's the ride of a lifetime especially when you floor it and feel like you're on the brink of being out of control, to me that's feeling like you're alive.
What a track...wonderfull.. never seen a rollercoster like this
That looks like a beast!!!
The popular competition classes here in the U.S. are the Four Stroke LO206s (slow, but fun), TAGs (you have to drive them right to be quick), and Shifters. For them you have to hang on and really be on your game. Quite common here. Now if you want a real thrill, try one on a long track. A slow corner is still 80 kph and the draft is incredible!
The long tracks are fun but they’re not as skillful as the sprint tracks like this one
@@shifterdriver6215 The skill levels are the same for either type circuit. It's all in what kind you like.
Maybe a tooth on the back might help the bogging down.. You can tell it's fast seeing the cart dance around on the throttle.. Fantastic video.. 🏁🏁
Yeees finally karting content back, I’ve recently got started myself in a restricted rotax so I’m excited to see this content back
That is the track I first started racing their rentals.
It's quite an experience coming over the crest and finding a few spun karts down there.
I see the LO206's knew to get out of the way :)
Even driving the basic & slow gokarts is incredibly fun and surprisingly physical, one really need to try it out to understand the feeling!
Looked like a fun day
Mate, that ai was set pretty low
And of course a cart will always be more vicious than a car, no suspension, and bum about an inch off the ground :)
So glad you got to experience AMP! I definitely miss being so close to it. And I can confirm, the camera does not do it justice. The elevation changes are BONKERS.
There’s nothing like a shifter kart, glad you got to come stateside and try it at this amazing track, it snaps your neck on acceleration and cornering then the brakes almost throw you over the front, love it!
also our piedmont hills are crazy when you were driving up there did ya happen to take the way thru Dawsonville with the big building in the middle of the road
What an amazing track! Great job in the rain!
Awesome man! I want to see more of you in the shifters in the states. Congratulations
That crazy down/uphill section. Glad you showed us that part on the walk, truly beastly track!
Glad you got a chance to hop the pond and burn some rubber.
Most people see a hill like that and think "Ok, how do we fit a switchback in here." But a madman named Hermann Tilke saw it and said "Yeah we go straight down it, then a hairpin, then straight back up."
FINALLY ANOTHER KARTING VID!!!!
Intense track and kart - a wonderful experience! Can't wait to see who goes to AMP from the Racing Prodigy tournament, joining 14 other tournament winners. Wild!
Fun to watch, believe it or not Steve you are getting smoother good job.
thats the attitude.. cried for your off lol... go on lad... keep it up.. hope to race with you all oneday..
Shifter karts are the most fun. I have my 2013 CRG and 2016 Birel shifters still and beat on them every now and then. Driving those things really gets your arms pumping haha :P One thing we often did at events was heat up the shift lever and put it in line with the steering wheel and wrap the middle and ring finger with tape so we could punch the shifter on downshifts.
Love to see a karting video again
It being my home track I feel so honored to see you not only race the track but to praise it and enjoy it is so cool to see.
Wow. This track is right near my family i visit twice a year. Im gonna go and sign up to go around it this is awesome
I would love the chance to drive one again. I’ve only drives a 125 shifter one session and it was in a parking lot. I’ve driven TAG karts and also modified Briggs with about 40hp. But the shifter keeping you in the power band the entire time was something else.
Super GT getting testruns left, right and center. His excuses are of a professional level already 😂. No seriously, happy for you Steven😉. Hopefully this amounts to something
Man i love the kart videos! Getting my son into karting this month. MIght end up having to do it too.
They even brought in rain to make you feel like home
Racing gearbox (Back in my days ICC Karts) is probably the most difficult and physical of any motor racing, it will either make you or break you as a driver.
Superb vid..what an amazing circuit! Most people have no idea what a physical sport karting and single seater racing is.
Difference between the birel otk? I have a birel and is looking to change to otk next year and wondering the differences in the feel of the go kart
Must have been nice to meet Barry R in real life. What a legend
Welcome to Georgia. Glad to have ya... mate. Enjoy.
Would LOVE to see a side by side of you and Kevin if you have footage of his laps just to see the differences and talk through it
Great video! fascinated by the action of the front end re: smoothness. I might be wrong but I think a slightly higher (slower) steering ratio and a tad more castor angle might help a lot - counter-intuitively a less sharp set-up will decrease ultimate sensitively of control and instant turn-in but will probably improve lap times. Better handling often is more important than ultimate performance.
5:40 is that Randy in the background? WOAH!!!!
Just watched his video of setting a sub-10 minute pike peak hill climb in a modified Plaid model S.
A proper kart on a proper track. This track is so much fun to drive on KartKraft!
Can you remember what gearing you ran?
The did you a little dirty not having the angled steering box fitted. I would have helped you last a little longer before your arms go
Awesome content! I would be interested to see the footage from the professionals POV to compare how he drives against Super Gt
Very cool mate !! Glad you could make it to the states !!
You did quite well, driving those beast in wet weather is not easy, i drove a CRG iame 30 Shifter kart for a few years, its the most thrilling race experience you can get, the speed , acceleration and cornering speed is amazing, doing it in wet conditions are difficult, different lines ecc makes it a challenge, good job 🙂
so excited for more karting content
Bro adjusting the track limits like he wants to be hired by Alpine
I know you were at this track earlier but I find it super cool that you came to Atlanta. I never would’ve thought you’d visit our great city
I actually raced on this track it was fun and the downhills scared me like IndyKarting in Bluffton SC
Thanks for the great video! I'm hearing more and more about Racing Prodigy.
Wow, fancy bumping into Barry-R whilst over in America like that.
It's a small world isn't it!
Wow, this looked incredibly intense
There is no crumple zone, you ARE the crumple zone😂
I love that track in Kart Kraft! Looks so fun irl
I always get excited to see your real racing and karting video's. I hope to see you in the big leagues on day man. And im sure you will make it.
I recognize this track from Kart Kraft. Cool to see it's real and capturing it on video.
5:40 A wild Randy Pobst appears!
Looks like you had a real blast.
KZ karts are amazing for real, trick is to steer with one hand alot so you can change gear mid corner as that may be faster depending on the corner
Eyyy My home kart track. This is where I learned to race. It’s been too long since I’ve been there sadly. ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Every corner of the track has some character to it looks awesome
that track looks crazy and in a shifter too 😵💫
That circuit looks amazing!
4:09 WOW! .. THAT'S GOT SOME 'POGO'… TRACKS NICE TOO... ZOOOMMM!!!
lol Randy Pobst hanging in the background at 5:35
I always try to guess what you’re about to say next but your vocab is on point 👌🏽I always guess and you say a synonym of it 😂
If/when ya come back over here to the states you gotta come up to the midwest. We have some amazing tracks around like G&J and Adkins in Ohio, Whiteland in Indiana, Concept Haulers in Illinois and quite a few more. All of em are awesome tracks and a joy to race on.
Love this track. I live close to it. Pretty cool seeing you here
Can Steve get some Love & Appreciation for having the stamina and strength to drive this fairly competitively!
Those micro corrections, vibrations & forces drain your arms!
I’m Very impressed by how easy Steve made it look!
Bet He needed a Radox therapy bath that night! 😂
absolutely wonderful track, AMP is definitely one of my favorites. wish i was there, i live about half an hour away from the circuit but i haven't been there in a bit. i love it though
2 stroke go EEIIIIIIINNGGGG EeeeEeINNGG
I drove the full course a few years ago in a regular cart and my God it was easily the best karting experience.
Yesss more karting content
Yesss Kart GT is back.
Sod that for a game of soldiers! The further I am from what you just did, the happier I would be. Bravo.
I work at this track at its incredible even in a ka100 or an lo206
Gotta love the kz 125 absolutely amazing to drive
Raced a shifter for a few years. Instruct for hpde events now and have driven some very fast cars. The feeling of speed in a shifter inms unmatched in my opinion.
Brooooooo I live right by here and come here all the time. Mind blown 🤯
