Kart Class

Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera discusses rental karting, as we know that some drivers treat it more seriously than just a social event with their friends.

Rental karts aren't the same as racing karts; they're heavier, have likely being involved in incidents previous to your session, don't have setup adjustments and the tyre quality always changes from kart to kart.

The thing is, that with some basic racing knowledge drivers can still overcome the differences in karts to be competitive at all times so in this episode we wanted to cover some basic points.

The biggest thing to take away from this episode is that not all the same techniques translate to racing karts also, with the power to weight ratio being the biggest factor behind this.

Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera discusses the importance of creating or having a setup sheet to fill in your notes at the kart track.

So many times we go to the track, make adjustments then forget about what has worked and what didn't. I can recall on many occasions where I raced at a track 12 months apart yet still looked back to my notes to give myself a baseline to start with.

This might be gear ratio, temperature of the day and also tyre pressures. With many race events these days limiting the amount of practice available, it's important drivers and mechanics are switched on from session one so they aren't wasting valuable laps.

Drivers will also learn more by reading back on notes so they get a better understanding on how the kart is behaving on track.

Now we know this is where the majority of the current Formula 1, Indy Car, Supercars and Open Wheel drivers started their career, so we wanted to dive into why it's good to start early, but if you can't, you still have time to pick things up.

Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera looks at some of the bad habits drivers get into in kart racing.

By minimising these mistakes from the beginning, drivers will be able to progress faster. It's all about identifying them yourself, so you can improve in these areas. Riding the brakes, looking behind constantly and not blaming the equipment constantly will fast track your development.

Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera looks into ways people getting into the sport of kart racing can find themselves a deal and cut some costs.

As we know motor racing can be expensive and kart racing is the bottom of the ladder, so trying to find a good deal on a kart package, or knowing what race gear to splurge on compared to which race wear you can cut back on is important to save some dollars.

Doing your research and understanding whether you're being looked after or screwed over is important, but finding your local kart shop is a good place to start.

Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera explains why in some cases your karts performance is stronger at the end of a race.

When we have longer races at major events or in finals, it's a good idea to have your kart setup so it peaks towards the back half of the race. But in the heat races which are normally shorter we don't want this as we can't keep our track position and are vulnerable to others overtaking when the kart isn't performing at it's peak.

I try to offer some tips around what's causing your kart to come on so late in a session and areas you can adjust to switch it on faster when required.

Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera explains how to manage your older tyres so you don't find yourself going slower when you put on new rubber.

Tyres are generally one of the largest expenses associated with kart racing, so as drivers and mechanics we want to try squeeze every last ounce from the tyre life for our practice days. But this can get us caught out into making the kart handle amazingly, but then when we fit new rubber to the kart our times go slower.

We try find ways to minimise this happening so you're better prepared next time at a kart race.

Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera explains the importance of race craft.

How many times have we heard..... "We should've won, we were the quickest?" Well ultimately, in racing, it's not always the fastest kart that wins the race. Race craft is hugely important for drivers to understand so that they can place their karts in the right position, understand the ideal time to make an overtake, when to work with another driver and when to defend.

Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera explains why some drivers are continually spinning out in the wet weather and don't know why it's occurring.

When the heavens open up, it isn't pleasant for driving. But the fact is, kart racing still takes place in the rain, so we need to be able to adjust our driving to suit the conditions.

I've seen countless times drivers getting caught out and spinning in the rain lap after lap and they can't identify why it is happening. I try to point out some areas as a driver you can alter to give yourself the best chance in the slippery conditions.
