Re: Go kart driving

If you would stop flaming my threads then maybe, just maybe. I would highly recommend buying some racing books. It explains everything you need to know. I like Ross Bentley's Speed Secrets personally. The first book tells you everything on slip angle, straightening out the corners, apexes and the like. Also for knowing the basics about how karts are put together and few techniques I read Karting: Everything you need to know...though that book seriously lacked in techniques. Mostly technical stuff.

For all the money you have to put into racing, buying a couple books isn't a waste, it's a steal!!

Also on my karting lesson they told me when starting out that I couldn't use the gas and break at the same time ever. It was more like, full gas, full brake, and coast through to the apex and throttle it.
