Kart Racing

[Austin Jordan]

yeah the person who won was a guy but the person i was racing with was a girl (a very popular girl from here sportsman classes) for 3rd.

From last year on the cup called MKR wich I raced at there only 5 girls our of 45 drivers in my class and in Rotax Max Senior there were somewhere around 2-4 girls but I belive Fredrik have payd more attention to that

 

[Austin Jordan]

giorgos, GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's alright if there's girls. as long as they're hot

 

[Fredrik Arbegard]

Hehe well there are 3-4 in Rotax Max Senior and most of them are in the top 20.
Only 2 regulars as far as I know and both have bigger brothers that raced karts.

Sweet, First Picture is awesome

Cheers mate

 

[Austin Jordan]

guys can someone explain how to do this:

looks to me you hit the brakes hard then wiggle the wheel and move the front tires to the opposite direction of the corner then yank the wheel to the turn. tried it and i move to the other side of the turn instead of staying where i'm at.

Can't see the video (thanks Sony Music Entertainment )
But from what you describe it sounds like the scandinavian flick which is used in rally to get around really tight corners.

no not like that beacause he is perfectly straight coming to a corner. i think he locks the brakes then moves the wheel the other way. that way he doesn't move.

well next week i'm going to the last race of the 2010 fkcs schedule. but after that i still have to go to a charity race in september that is not for points. well it's at a technical track.

been here before but not when i had my tony kart and my superior skills. hopefully i can end it on the podium for the first time for me.

 

[Fredrik Arbegard]

Sounds good.
My season final will be at Linköping!

Video (last years race):

In the last vidoe you can see me at 0:35 when I collide with another racer, got a really bad start that's why I was last.

 

[Austin Jordan]

looks like a neat track

Dont Tell me that Spyros was leading the race.

I realy hate the Lindköping track but I LOVE this one:

 

[Austin Jordan]

well i guess you don't like the guy giorgos. you run rotax junior right now?

 

[David Garcia]

The circuits looks cool. In a couple of months I will be racing here...

 

[Austin Jordan]

nice. how good do you do in your series?

 

[David Garcia]

I am not racing the whole series this year, 2 championships and only some races each, maybe half and half... but fine in the races I have completed.

The track above is Valencian championship, and in a month I will race the Murcian championship here...

 

[ufunacaoenn]

well i guess you don't like the guy giorgos. you run rotax junior right now?

No I just found this video from the Järnfälla track.

 

[Fredrik Arbegard]

Yup there is a video onboard with a shifter kart here:

I was practicing on Järnfälla that day and it was full of old men driving karts and they were slow for a rookie like me.

 

[Austin Jordan]

yeah one day i was practicing for free at a really good new track and me and my bro were probably the best drivers that were there. it was full of guys who had a cheap kart and never raced that just came and practice. geez i was quicker than a shifter in a corner.
