I raced Karts with Woodbridge Kart club & WKA for 15 years, trust me there is no better way to enjoy this sport than being in the driver's seat. Now if you don't race than yes, these onboard cameras are great.
The engine is very fast and it’s the best the kart has ever handled for me. My driving style has always been smooth but I’m having to be slightly more aggressive in this which is hard for me. Thank you for the comment 😁
You're right about the set up of the kart. But you have to remember that the kart doesn't set itself up. It's down to the driver's feedback that dictates whether to add or remove grip by moving the wheels/tyres inwards or outwards or to adjust the chassis stiffness instead. Also, the engine will only be at it's quickest if it has been jetted correctly. I've seen many a seized Rotax twin because it has been run just that bit too lean in the search for the ultimate power output. People are often surprised at just how complicated setting up a kart to be at it's optimum can actually be. But yep, very smooth driving style. Smoothest is always quickest. The fastest drivers are always the ones that seem to be doing the least amount of work behind the wheel.
@@jacktritton Curious question, why do shifter karts always have the stick mounted to the steering axle assembly? Is that compulsary? Paddles would be so much less stressful for the left wrist that has to handle the wheel torque alone, for a good deal of the time, especially on short bendy circuits.
I was thinking the same, a nice tall gear certainly helped down the longer straights. I was also wondering if it was the tall gearing that also made the start a bit sluggish. definitely better that way, it's more fun catching and overtaking people 😁
They overtook to start then you were blasting past them! You got past loads on that left hand at the end of the start straight very impressive driving and a bloody good watch 👍
@jacktritton I know GT7 has a little bit, but it's not as fun unless you can toss a banana on the track. It's only recently that we got a better IOM game. A lot of PS2s are finally getting retired since the last decent one was about two decades ago.
We have some fine race vids from Woodbridge Kart Club at West Virgina's famous Summit Point Raceway with both the Super karts & the laydowns or Enduro Karts. Races with them & the guys from WKA for 15 years & Summit is much like Cadwell. They don't run Laydowns in Europe nor the B Stocks which are Laydowns with two 100cc engines. Very fast & as good as any club that runs Karts. Summit Point is 2.1 miles & 10 turns with some elevation changes, very fast & as challenging as Cadwell & boy if i were Europe i would love to run there. As of 2024 the Kart lap record is 1:10 & on a2.1 mile road course that's fast. That record was with a 250cc laydown Superkart. Seen them all than you know what i mean. if not check the race vids from Summit out.
They have been clocked in Europe at 175 MPH but most here in the States are about 150 . I raced for 15 years with Woodbridge Kart Club & WKA all on Road Racing tracks . I raced what are called Laydown Karts or Enduro Karts which they don't race in Europe but we have many classes & the 125s & 250s along with what we call B Stocks which have two 100cc engines which in the 70s were 135s & twin clutches are the fastest . Lots of great vids should you want to see the Karting worlds fastest Karts here & in Europe. Here is a link that will show you you may be missing. I had to find one vid that was not long as the races are 45 minutes but you can look at them if you lie what you see here & this class will do about 120 MPH down the strait . Best kept secret in Motorsports if you ask me . Summit Point is 2,1 Miles & 10 turns , Kart record is 1:11 Track record is 1'03 by a Formula Atlantic car from SCCA.
Holy shit that karts top end is WICK !! It surprised how so many karts overtook you at the start but man did your kart flap them on the straights 🚗 💨 💨 😂
Seems super scary overtaking when no one has mirrors. I see the slow people hear you and move. What about overtaking fast people who fight for the line?
I had the chance to drive one that was geared to 110 mph once. It was fun watching the cops trying to keep up with me in our little town of Brooklet, Ga.! 😂
Fantastic video, Exciting, to watch, beautiful race track, excellent driving and a set up that had me disappointed to begin with, and well impressed, with a mouthful of crow pie as soon as there was overtaking room! Thanks. PS. The ‘Thanks wave’ around 17:40 point made it for me. I tip my hat to you Sir.
Blimey that was a shit start lol, I raced Cadwell a few times (cars not gocarts) , once I was on the left side and could not see the start lights which was a real pain but even thenit was better than yours lol
@@jacktritton Absolute wild! I would imagine the performance you get is a fraction of the cost of anything else that is able to achieve this performance! Keep on being fast Brother!
Going into the downhill right kink when you’re downshift on your entrance it was the track that ruff or were you just chattering the rear end it jumped from normal 1-2g’s to 3 to 6 g’s was it because it’s hard it was hard to match downshift RPM with slowing the cart down ? 130 mph plus is cooking .. in my sprint chassis 125 Honda shifter on the longest track I run on my mycron I barely touch 103mph . The normal sprint tracks with 700’ to 900’ long straights we run 79-85 mph . Though my corner g load is 2.5 G’s on on track with a banked right hand after the straight it’ll touch 3 G’s
It’s how bumpy the track is. In one of these karts, if I was chattering the back because of downshifts, I would definitely have some engines parts come and say hello 🤣
I'll start off with what dI idn't think I would be saying... Your lines and race IQ is REALLY good!!! I ALMOST stopped watching after the start when you were getting gapped / ghosted... (First thought was - did someone fk with his gears prior to the race? Or is this just one of those types that want to be on track - to be on a track / circuit.. Those without the imental metal to ever see a medal / trophy, not to mention championships). I don't know any of you guys and haven't raced shifters or watercraft in almost 20 years now, so I'm not up to "speed" at all, but I do have the the hardware from my days and my passion for racing will NEVER DIE.. However, fk coffee! I'm going to watch this at least a time or two again! The way you reeled ALL of them back in almost would be mean if you weren't actually having an issue during the start... Chasing others down though can be fun.. And passing the moving speed bumps as well.. Thanks for sharing.. Definitely subscribing.. Love the telemetry overlays and the track map you all have now. Is there any way to display G's under just 1, 2 or 3? Into percentages ala.. .07.. Or .7? I would LOVE to see you your transponder / track data on lap times.. P.S. I see your last name is Tritton.. Any chance your family produced performance watercraft cylinder heads and other parts?
Thank you for your comment. I had a clutch issue which meant I couldn’t clear the engine of the extra fuel and oil at the start. But it is only my second season racing this kart so all stuff I’m learning. I love this track and racing and my drive to be the best is what keeps me going. I’m not sure how I can get my laptimes on here as this is all from the go pro.
That was awesome!! Great lines!! It seemed to me you carried better momentum through your turns! My cousin is Kelvin Burt!! Hes an old guy now but had a pretty good career though! Great job!!!
Great stuff you must have different gearing to the rest of the field ? , they all passed you on acceleration but then you picked them all off with your top end speed
I do normally run a smaller gearing set up as I’ve always liked to have more top end speed to help with overtakes and I try and hope I’m quicker through the corners to help me stay with them
Dude got smoked on the start however once the tires came up to temperature he worked his way through the field at a wickedly fast pace. Ballsy driving!
I liked the overtake of #8 , clean decisive and then the hammer down for some "Verstappen" corners , ie full committment, then cleverly down the left of a slower kart offering the very slow out line from the next bend for any potential repass. Very impressive 🎉
F1: survival cell, halo, yellow flags, virtual and real safety cars Superkart: you hit a mosquito and then you die 🤣 Really great race anyway, do you plan to make informatives video about these karts and the championship?
I had a clutch issue so I couldn’t clear the engine so when I went to start, the engine had too much oil and fuel in it and it wouldn’t go until it’s cleared. If I got a good start, I could have battled for the win 😁
We have a very good engine builder which is Harvey Motorsport but we also run a different gearing to help with top end speed in the slipstream. Also our kart has good aerodynamics which help
If a kart could turn as quickly as an F1 it would be interesting to see the G’s it could pull. But the speed of an F1 car through corners is nuts and that much be a different experience with all the G’s
The BEST way to watch a race!!!!!!!
Even better if you are driving 😉

This is what a driver that’s completely confident in their kart’s superior performance looks like. Can tell wasn’t stressed even a little. Nice drive
Thank you, I loved how the kart was handling and had so much confidence in it 😁
ya and he got smoked at the start

Your entire package is just singing, well done!
Harvey Motorsport do an amazing job with the engines
Slow start and then full DRS kicked in.
Frustration from the engine not going at the start, made me work very hard for this one 🤣
133 mph a few inches from the ground and open cockpit hummm...."Delicious"
Best view ever 😁
You need to flip your G force graph and and it’s upside down as well.
This is on the go pro app and I can’t change it 🥺
Holy crap, you fly in that little beast. Awesome driving.Sub'd thanks for sharing and drive safe brother
Thank you very much 😁
Great race! Definitely made the right sprocket choice 🤙
More top speed and the Harvey VM Motor is very fast 🤣

Where’s all the bananas and mushrooms?
Soooo bloody quick.... great kart, and great drive, just love it. I wish F1 was as good to watch!!
Thank you
Monaco would be faster in these karts!
Wow, this guy must have spent a fortune on his graphics card! These games are getting so realistic.
I know, I'm just kidding.
I’m still waiting for the day we get a good racing game with Superkart’s 🤣

Its crazy that these things have the lap record around cadwell
I was about 0.9 tenths off on my last lap. I believe with another race and setting the lap earlier I could have been close.
Great video bit quicker than the ones on holiday lol...
Thank you 🤣
Great driving! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Holland.
Thank you, I’ll be racing at Assen this year as well
This is my first time hearing of superkarts and its crazy to see 130+ mph on a go kart. I now understand why F1 drivers start "karting"
They are amazing to drive, so fast with a lot of grip.

@@jacktritton Sick engine that ! Super quick!
Swamped at the start, but never expected storming through the field like that, that things a missile .
Thank you, it was a recovery drive with a bit of anger from a poor start
Your straight away speed is on. You run a different gear than the whole field?🤘🏼
I believe we had a different sprocket on to most
not the sound daft, is your kart way more stacked than everybody else’s because that just look like a piece of piss!
We run a different gearing to most and the engines are looked after by Harvey Motorsport and been on the dyno’s quite a few times 🤣
Bad start but after that you where brilliant you definitely have great speed 👍
Thank you, starts are my weak point but this was an engine issue that made it worse 🥺
Why did you fall off so bad at the start?
You sure that isn't a V-12?
(Great "edge of my seat" drive/video, thanx)
Thank you for the comment, glad you enjoyed it
Better than F1, keep it up and please keep sharing!
I will, I love the karts and speed of these things. Going to France soon, so more videos to come
NOW!, THAT WAS FANTASTIC FLY BY THE SEAT OF YOUR PANTS, I Don't know if it was tire churp or the road course your KIDNEYS took pounding👍
The track is known to be one of the bumpiest around but it just adds to the experience. But you definitely feel it the day after 🤣
Seems super scary overtaking when no one has mirrors. I see the slow people hear you and move. What about overtaking fast people who fight for the line?
It’s all about trusting each other. The karts are so fast and expensive that we trust the other people to concede the corner if we are overtaking.
I used to find that you could hear other karts around you surprisingly well. That's how I knew how close/which side they were on.
You just need to add on a flux capacitor and your set 😄👌
That would be cool 🤣
i cant fathom going 120mph in a go cart props to you haha
Thank you, it doesn’t feel that fast until it goes wrong 🤣
133 mph to be exact. Balls
Whooooooosh!!! what a drive. I could watch that all day.. Verstappen level
Thank you 🤣
I had the chance to drive one that was geared to 110 mph once. It was fun watching the cops trying to keep up with me in our little town of Brooklet, Ga.! 😂

I would love to try that it looks like a lot of fun.
It’s so much fun
Nice drive, no joke, 130+ mph with your arse 6" above the tarmac, serious respect for that
Thank you very much 🫡
It's actually a fair chunk less than 6" that your arse is off the ground. More like 2 or 3. 😂😂
fcked the start badly
Rookie start from me
These things ain't no toy, love it.
They are awesome 😁
That’s what I call a cart. Bet it feels way fast doing 100mph in a cart.
We need this one in Forza Motorsport and Donington too
That would be awesome 🤣
Wow!!!! That kart is fast!!!! U just blowing them out of the water!!!!!
The kart is very fast 🤣
Awesome.quicket than superbike
Damn that overlay is awesome. What app you use?
It’s just the go pro app
@@jacktritton Hmm. I had no idea gopro had that integrated, I've never owned one.
Blimey that was a shit start lol, I raced Cadwell a few times (cars not gocarts) , once I was on the left side and could not see the start lights which was a real pain but even thenit was better than yours lol
great driving, ... a masterclass in how to race at Cadwell park !
Thank you
Flowing better on every lap 👍
Rear hopping about on braking for the hairpin 😆
BORING BORING
🫡
Great job being patient and picking everyone off.
how do these times hold up against full race cars? this is fast af
Against most cars they win, against single seaters, they match f4 and get close or beat F3 on certain layouts

Really something! @ 9:28. Seems like you didn’t enjoy it, as you lifted the throttle a tiny bit on subsequent laps so it didn’t happen again.
That was awesome!! Great lines!! It seemed to me you carried better momentum through your turns! My cousin is Kelvin Burt!! Hes an old guy now but had a pretty good career though! Great job!!!
Thank you very much, carry speed out of corners and keeping the revs up, help with straight line speed massively
WTF

Tricky circuit need brave driver To do it well 👌
He had a gear nobody else did.

More the merrier 🤣 thank you
Never saw this before not ain’t no joke. Fast track. A lot of long straightaways. Wish I go there on my bike.
It’s an amazing track
Looks like you have to really be on your game here !! That's some display of driving !! 134 mph, whoa !
Thank you, you can’t make many mistakes so the concentration levels have to be very good
Going 130mph in a kart is crazy! Must be pretty nerve-wracking the first time you drive one of those.
The very first time is an eye opener for sure 🤣 it doesn’t feel too bad until you get a slide and then you realise the speed you are doing
Great stuff you must have different gearing to the rest of the field ? , they all passed you on acceleration but then you picked them all off with your top end speed

Rookie start but I did enjoy the drive back through
How do you drive at those speeds with no roll cage? I dont know squat about cart racing, are you totally boned in a high speed crash?
There’s a very good chance you don’t walk away from a big crash very well but you can get lucky. It adds to the buzz 🤣
very nice! what is that yellow plastic cable ring thing flapping around?
That is my choke cable, which has some pipe around it
What happened at the start? Wheelspin?
I liked the overtake of #8 , clean decisive and then the hammer down for some "Verstappen" corners , ie full committment, then cleverly down the left of a slower kart offering the very slow out line from the next bend for any potential repass.
Very impressive 🎉
Thank you, I was very happy with the overtakes in this race 👍
OK, your fast and smooth.. no disrespect but what happened on that start.
Oiled one of the cylinders up and it wouldn’t clear. Rookie error on my behalf
F1: survival cell, halo, yellow flags, virtual and real safety cars
Superkart: you hit a mosquito and then you die 🤣

@@jacktrittonfor me it would be interesting knowing a little bit more about the championship, costs, etc...
The cart is so much faster than the others, unfair advantage, anyone could win in it

Great race! I wonder what happened at the start. Your kart and your skills are so above the rest that I even thought you started bad on purpose😅

On Fire. Awesome drive.
You got hammered at the start. Why is your cart so much faster than every other?
We have a very good engine builder which is Harvey Motorsport but we also run a different gearing to help with top end speed in the slipstream. Also our kart has good aerodynamics which help

It also helps if u know the track...
I do love this track
To think that F1 cars can pull up to 5Gs in corners!
If a kart could turn as quickly as an F1 it would be interesting to see the G’s it could pull. But the speed of an F1 car through corners is nuts and that much be a different experience with all the G’s
Live just up the road ,love Caswell
It’s my favourite track 😁
what's your name? checo perez? 😂😂😂
After how he is performing this year, hopefully not 🤣
damn that thing is fast on straight line man :D cheers
It certainly is, we have a very good engine builder 😁
Damn good racing, that was badass 👏👏
Thank you
well done, i see you been watching me
Getting all the tips and advice 🤣
wow - what happened to your cart at the start? dang
I had a clutch issue that stopped me from clearing the engine of too much fuel and oil so it wouldn’t run very well until I started the race
What a wicked push in warm ups. Wow
Thank you 😁
How are you accelerating so much faster down the straights than everyone else? It's like everyone else has, in the words of Alonso, "GP2 engine!".
Are you wearing race leathers here? Is that mandated for the karts and series?
Yes full leathers
You can drive the arse of that, go on lad
Thank you
Lol that G -meter with no decimal flex
😁
Very cool race. Thank you. I thought for sure it was all over with that start. Awesome driving!
