buroz Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 First left hander = flat (easy). Brake smoothly into the hair pin. Don't lock the brakes. Turn in on the brakes and let the back slide a little (I mean only a little). Power on before the apex. Get the car over to the left (no need to get to the edge of the circuit). Turn in smoothly. let the kart run out a little. (all flat) The rest is all flat and obvious... although I sometimes give a slight lift on turn in for the far corner. Basically don't let the kart slide too much and just concentrate on carrying speed. The hair pin is the key to the circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 although I sometimes give a slight lift on turn in for the far corner I concur - mainly depends on the kart you are in, some have more grip than others. (and we are talking about the corner at the bottom left of the track map you linked) moomin www.megabird.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Try leaning OUT not INto corners. Karts don't have diffs, so they turn by slipping the tyres, you can aid this by helping unload the inner tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie Hound Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 Fantastic - I knew the shedders would come through - Cheers everyone and Matt for the blow by blow account Ross took me a second but 😬 😬 Right - now I have to go on a crash diet to shed those extra pounds.

La vache espagnole Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 crash diet Is that a diet where you pile on the pounds to give you better crash padding... No, really ... GO BOONIE, GO!(*) 😳 nothing... (*) Wanted to write "goooooooooo" instead of just "go", but it just looked kinda sticky...
