So glad to see you out in a kart again. It being in the faster X30 made it even better. It would be phenomenal to see you break out of the Club 100 and race in the X30 realm. You no doubt have the talent to do so. Just need the seat time to put it all together. Sending massive vibes of encouragement to make that happen. 🏆 champion vid!
Same here. Theres a couple good tracks here but its not like club 100. You have to be a memeber at each track to race on them. Whos got that kind of money lol
@@arrond5745 you only have to be a member to compete in the championship I’d say if your not taking it seriously it’s fine to just race without a membership I do that at HKRC
There is a special something to be fast in the wet, not everyone finds it, or has it. You got it Steve. Well done. I did a 6hr enduro on the weekend that was wet and dry mixed weather, loved the wet stints, I did 3hrs of it in the wet, and fastest in class and 3rd outright in lap times in the wet. Wet rocks
Hey @Super GT, I got a tip for driving an X30 Kart. The thing is that the moment you slow the kart down into braking, it starts to bog a lot (at low revs), so when I was karting in this beast, I used to brake as late as possible and get back on the throttle bit earlier than the apex (to keep the revs high which helps reduce the bogging). Hope this helps😃
@@Super_GT I heard some 4-strokes in this video and that makes my heart happy. The second the call goes out I'm on a plane over there. Been itching to get back into karts, it's been like 8 years :P
I remember going karting for first time was awesome went with friends and smashed everyone was to see who could do most laps kn a certain time I done 37 and everyone else done 34 35 was buzzing with myself but wasnt into racing at the time. Wish I could do it properly like racing racing taking the proper lines and stuff be pretty sick glad I found this channel just looking back at your karting vids
I wish we had actual karting tracks here in California! It’d easily be my new hobby. Also Super GT, I just want to say thank you for being there for me. Your videos have really helped me out, I’m not in the best place mentally at the moment and watching your videos kinda gives me a break from reality. I never thought I’d end up loving motorsports as much as I do, believe it or not I was actually an American football player and wrestler back in my schooling days, my dad always hated cars so I’ve never really had the opportunity to appreciate them for what they are. You helped me find a new hobby and I praise you for that! Never under estimate how much your fans care about you and your videos.
Hello Super GT, I am a OK Senior driver at international level, as you probably know, the curves go up with a consistent uphill and then has a drop. If you manage to put the tyres on the drop you get a lot more grip and can carry much more speed.
The reason why the different racing line in the wet is quicker is because of rubber on the normal racing line. the rubber will let off a little bit of oil so when it starts raining it will be really slippery. eventually it will wash out but if it just starts raining then its better to brake of racing line :D
Hey Steve just coming back to this video as I drove in the wet for the first time today in my junior rotax and wow it is such a good experience especially at clay when it was so foggy and raining 👍
Wow that was so interesting AND impressive. GG dude!! And this is so beautiful to see those drifted lines under rain conditions... I cannot avoid to think at Senna and how OUT OF THIS WORLD he was under the rain...... This is so an impressive moment to watch great drivers under rain! KEEP IT UP SUPERGT!!!!!👍 Big salut from France 🙋♂️ Vinz.
I remeber going to that track with bording school in like 2010.. i was ten.. the other boys and girls all older and i got the second best rental kart time of the day👍👍 good times
Yeah, I was shocked to find out that was real as well. Supposedly, that technique is the reason the Nurburgring Karussells are the way the are, so it's quite an old technique as well.
The Caracciola Karussel is named after Rudolph Caracciola who ran two wheels in the drainage ditch to take the corner faster. Other drivers followed his line and eventually the ditch was concreted and became a permanent feature. It’s still the highlight of the lap for me, but man is it bumpy irl
Yh, so in turn 2, Christmas and the boot you have to hook your wheels a round the kerb to get a faster time, BTW im still so excited I WAS THE NO. 26 CROC IN THR BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO!!!!
Did a pay and drive(30 mins)at this track a few years back,there was only me and my son on track. It was awesome I got lapped twice and had to pull off for a rest twice....lol Best bit was there was no lugging because there’s no real slow corners.
oh man those AIM records bring back so many memories. I remember sitting in my trailer for hours studying my micron data to see what I can do better. Also 2 stroke karts are so much better than 4 stroke lawn mowers.
I know what you mean about the rubber on the dry line in the wet, like bloody ice it was my first time outdoors a few weeks ago at a wet whilton,. go see how not to do it lol still good fun. That karts a beast 💪 too
Pro tip: Don't stand in front of vertical lines when you're autofocusing in selfie mode. The camera will grab focus on the thing you're standing in front of instead of you. So avoid columns, fences, etc.
Honestly if you're planning on buying one, get a 100cc. It's slower, cheaper, simpler/easier to work on, and really teaches you how to drive. KA100 is pretty popular iirc.
You're so lucky to not have had Whilton Mill in the rain for 10 years. The first time I went it was raining and Christmas corner was absolutely dreadful.
I have raced x30 for 4-5 years so this was a really intresting video. I made the switch to x30 after racing with rotax engines for a few years. (Edit) Good video btw as always🔥
As an engine rotax got a bit more torque and it's quicker on corner exits. X30 got better tires with more grip and is just slightly faster at the end of the straights. As a class I think x30 is better. The engines are more even, like there is not that big of differences between the engines in the same class like in rotax one engine might be faster than the other out of the box. Rotax engines are a little more reliable, but they both are quite reliable engines tho and both are good classes too. I personally like x30 more. (Edit) rotax senior laptimes are slighly faster than x30 seniors if I remember correctly. I have not been driving this season anymore because time and money kinda became an issue😅
You wanna learn how to drive,make quick accurate driving decisions,hand eye coordination,motor skills,etc,plant your but in one of these carts,listen to your instructor,put on your big boy or big girl pants and forget about fear.These things are a blast and as you get better you'll see that the fun just keeps getting better.
Nice! The X30 is getting pretty close to the KF2 I'm familiar with. Dunno which karburator and limiter there's on it. I think KF2 was 38HP when I drove it, not 100% on that. Such a shame that it had to rain. Not what you're looking for when stretching your legs in a new kart. Hope you enjoyed it and that you're able to try again with better weather.
Super GT: This guy is really fast! He is the benchmark! Also Super GT: Yeah I just nearly hit that fast guys pb on a track I never drove in the wet in a car I never drove in the last decade...
Hope this helps keep your Red Bull seat!

thats actually as pretty goddamn cool kart. It's like the kart version of an F1 car from the 50s which I don't think anyone would say no too.

@Jake Heke I think normal people have money, but they probably don't have the time. Karts usually cost upwards of $4000
@Declan Edgecombe If I have the time I might build one for $500 though that's optimistic.

Despite it being wet it looks like a tonne of fun!
Correction: exactly because it being wet it looks like a tonne of fun! :) There’s nothing quite like driving wet on slicks but this seems very close.
The reason why the different racing line in the wet is quicker is because of rubber on the normal racing line. the rubber will let off a little bit of oil so when it starts raining it will be really slippery. eventually it will wash out but if it just starts raining then its better to brake of racing line :D
the X30 is a great engine. If you ever come to Australia, you should definetaly have a go in a 200 open dirt kart. Now those have some real power!
Those Karts are awesome (even in the rain). Way to impress the big boys
No feeling quite like impressing a coach at the track. Good on you!
Am a little embarrassed but it's my first time to see you Super. It's awesome. 😊
Love these videos Steve! Well done! :)
Brilliant way to start a Tuesday, SuperGT karting video. Now to grab a crumpet and coffee to go with the video.
Using this for help, doing an x30 test on Sunday for the first time and it’s supposed to rain too 😳 great video!
