  • My kart has too much grip

    Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera explains what the kart feels like when it has too much grip.

    So many times karters are out at the race track and are guessing when they are making adjustments to their karts. Does it have enough grip? Does it have too much grip? And if you go the wrong way this really can affect the stability of your kart.

    We try to break down what happens when the kart has too much grip and also the adjustments a driver or mechanic can make so they go the right way when making changes.

  • Front End Caster

    Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera explains a bit about the front end caster.

    Drivers and mechanics can alter their kart setup to suit their drivers needs. Caster plays a big part in how a kart handles and reacts on track so it's a great tuning tool to get better performance.

    But knowing when it should be used and when it shouldn't is the key. We try to give you an insight on what conditions caster plays a big part and which classes you may not need it for.

  • Tyre Pressures

    Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera explains tyre pressures and how to decide what is the ideal pressure to use for your kart.

    Having an understanding of what the optimal tyre pressure is for your kart can really dictate the handling characteristics a driver will face when they are on track. So it's vital either the driver or mechanic knows when to use a lower pressure or higher pressure depending on the compound they are using, the temperature they are racing in and the duration of a race.

  • Race Starts

    Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera explains how to get the ultimate race start.

    Now we know that the start of race can be daunting, but we also know that this is where the biggest opportunity arises for us to make up multiple spots. So it's integral that we understand how to get off the line quickly and where to have the kart placed.

    If a driver can use the race start to their advantage they have a leg up over their competition.

  • Consistency

    In this episode of Kart Class we talk about the importance of consistency with your driving with your host 18 x Australian Champion Dave Sera.

    So many times we see drivers drive a lap time 2-3 tenths faster than their previous best but are then unable to replicate that lap time and time again.

    Why is that? Well it can be a number of reasons. The driver loses concentration from one lap to the next, so they might miss an apex or drop a wheel off the race track. It could be they don't have any markers around the track so they are guessing where to brake and throttle each time around.

    We try to break down areas a driver can improve on, so that they can drive all their laps within 2 tenths of a second so that once that becomes achievable things will start to slow down for the driver.

    Our Kart Class programs offer tips & techniques drivers can use to best manage themselves on track and drive within close proximity for the duration of a race. Be sure to check out the website so you can see what program is best suited for you.

  • Kart Flow

    In this episode of Kart Class we talk about the importance of Kart Flow with our host 18 x Australian Champion Dave Sera.

    In karting, we have limited horsepower, so it's all about keeping our momentum up when cornering. Allowing the kart to flow to the edges of the race track and using the full width of the circuit help achieve higher corner speeds which in turn lower your lap times.

    When drivers are starting out, then tend to turn in too early, and this restricts the amount of corner speed they can drive as it takes more steering input to make the corner which slows them down. It also causes the kart to slide around the corner.

    Kart Class offers advanced digital training programs for kart racers worldwide for all skill levels. You can check out our website to see what program is best suited to you & follow our Instagram pages for the latest updates on tips & techniques we use.

  • Braking Markers

    In this episode of Kart Class we look at braking markers.

    What should drivers look for upon entering a corner that will let them know when to brake?

    We break down how to identify where to brake with 18 x Australian Karting Champion Dave Sera as he tells us how he goes about his driving.

    Why are markers so important to a driver? Well if we can hit the same marks consistently, then we aren't able to drive similar lap times from lap to lap. So we can then build some confidence and move those markers down to lower our lap times.

    Kart Class offers karting programs for drivers of all skill levels to get the most out of them.

  • Hitting Apexes

    In this episode of Kart Class we want to discuss about Apexes.

    Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera explains how to identify what an apex is, how to distinguish whether you should be hitting an early, middle or late apex around any given corner.

    Apexes are possibly the most important part of racing. If you aren't hitting this point, it's likely your kart will be losing grip around the corners and you can't drive as fast around the turns.

    By learning how to hit an apex, you take this throughout your racing career, so it's important to understand this principle from day 1.
