Hey - I’m in the league with you (division 2 though), I wanted to ask you… do you think the super track is worth doing for leagy-weagys? It looks like it’s 3 laps, regular speed, presumably lots of inexperienced folk because the super track opening to the public tomorrow… think it’s worth it?
I still think the normal public sessions are fun in general because you get to fight thru traffic and pass people. You're not gonna get good times but as long as you don't get yellows / reds, it's fun. The supertrack is just another public session. It's fun, but it only adds 2 turns so it's not gonna feel like some crazy new track. IMO it be more interesting to run it in reverse. The interesting bit is they run a lot more people on the track for superteack, 30-40 at a time. Some people see that as a huge downside and hate the idea of not getting good times. I just think it's fun. Up to you where you fall in that.
Thanks! Very much agree that reverse would be fun. I’m also saddened by the luck-of-the-draw nature of the karts nowadays… you can just get a slow kart and there’s nothing you can do about it. From talking to a few others it seems like it’s up to 1/3 of the karts that run anywhere between 1 and 3 seconds slower for consistent folks doing the same laps. What’s your experience been with the kart quality? I suspect that’s the reason they implemented the mulligans. I compared some of your 2023 laps to 2024 times and it looks like they’re on average 1.5-2 seconds slower than last year (anecdotal but there does seem to be a trend). Wonder if they had to turn them down for insurance reasons or if it’s truly a quality issue. Also saddened that they’re not doing a summer league. Oh well. Good luck this week at awards and stop and say hello to Scott F or Mark W if you see us on the podium. :)
@@Method5440 yeah everyone in D1 has the same sentiment. It felt like it came on all a sudden from Jan league, but we just chalked it up to maybe being the cold temps messing with grip. But at this point nobody knows. I have a video comparing a good vs bad kart 1.6s off from each other while hitting the same line. They do take a beating so idk. If they did tune down the league Speed, I would guess it would be for battery purposes, rather than insurance, since there hasn't been any league incidents I don't know what would prompt it otherwise. But I'm just guessing. I know during league a lot of times you couldn't get full charge by the next race so not sure if that was a factor. I hope not. It's been driving us all crazy also.
I know I would be close to second but you’d steal first from me 🤣 and that’s just my confidence coming in not even being cocky but your a good driver sir

@@matthewhoffman660 😂 😂 😂 thanks! I think they're gonna run them goin forwards once they work out the kinks. They say "one day only" but that's BS
@@nikspeeds yeah they just need to test it more I’m sure they’ll have it weekly eventually or once a night at a set time
