Want faster lap times? Follow these simple tips and you will shave all-important seconds off every lap.
1. Sit correctly in the kart. Sit back in the seat and resist the temptation to lean forward towards the wheel as it has a negative effect on acceleration.
2. Hold the steering wheel correctly. The lowest position is where 9 and 3 appear on a clock face. And the highest is 10 and 2 on the clock face.
3. Braking is a form of control as well as stopping you. Brake hard and fast so that the rear wheels almost lock as you approach a corner, releasing as you start the turn.
4. Keep a straight line towards a bend and stay wide for as long as possible before you start to turn into the corner.
5. Go straight as often and as long as you can. Turning the wheels reduces your speed.
6. Slow into a corner accelerate out. Go slowly and maintain maximum control as you turn into a corner then foot down and speed out onto the straight.
