Do you get points for getting second? Also I’m trying to start league racing at k1 speed and was wondering if it would be pretty hard to stay with the other racers if I’m pretty new to the karting thing, I know some stuff about racing in my head but not sure if that translates to actual track expierence
Everyone gets points based on how many people participate, and the standings for the Challenge GP at each location are on the K1 website under the 'Leagues' section. I'd recommend getting a few races in before jumping into a league night, just to get a feel for racing IRL and how the karts feel while braking/turning/accelerating etc. Knowing the racing line is only useful if you're also able to adjust your driving to hit said line.
Thanks for the tips! I have raced at the k1 track a few times Im just trying to figure out all the small things I could do to get a faster lap time love watching your videos! You always motivate me haha
Oh, thanks for the warning, does that technically mean if I get like a low 20 sec lap time on the slow kart it could possibly be a 19 sec lap time in the faster karts?
With the newer model karts at Mokena, there's a display that shows which speed it's in. You can barely see it in the visor cam view, but it says "Model 4". I know that Mode 3 is slower, but I can't remember by how much.. We've only run the league on the LeMans track, and my best time this year is a 21.089. In past years I've got a 20.966 at LeMans and a 19.810 at Monaco.
just looking at your onboard makes me realize im turning wayyy too much thanks for posting these videos keep it up!
Good stuff as always! Love the addition of the visor cam and as always, the live commentary.
Thanks Evan! There's a chance I'll be back to Buffalo Grove for a GP or two this year before State
@@AlexDevineKartRacing Awesome! Looking forward to it!

Thanks Philip! You guys at Buffalo Grove have had 2 to 3 times as many people each month

One more thing: the karts are turned up a notch for league night compared to the setting they run for the public.
