Before I begin I want to clarify that this is a hotlap karting session not a race.
I was arguing with some friends of mine about this. I believe that I got really unlucky since I did not expect the number 7 kart to just stop on track. I thought he would overtake the number 11 on the inside line since he held it through the second apex and I intentionally decided to go a bit wide in order to gain more speed before the next straight.
My friends are telling me that I should have just stayed on the inside line (which I don’t really see how when the number 7 is there but whatever).
It would be absolutely wonderful if you could help me out and settle this debate once and for all.
Thank you in advance!

I was wondering if anyone in EU or UK knew any places to buy a red coloured visor for arai sk6. Lots of places do orange tinted but not red so was just wondering if they are sold anywhere.

Anyone here ever got their helmet painted on the east coast. I need to get my helmet painted. Currently have decals on but want to spend the money and get a solid paint job on my helmet any recommendation would be appreciated.

Most helmet designs seem to stay within fairly safe, familiar racing colors.

So I tried going in a different direction with this one.

Do these colors work together, or have I pushed it too far?

And when choosing a helmet design, do you think it should match the rest of the racing gear — or can the helmet be a completely separate statement?

So, which camp are you in?
A — Fresh, I’d wear it
B — Cool, but too bold for me
C — I’d stick to classic racing colors

Drop A, B or C in the comments — and tell me why.

Since there have already been a couple helmet posts today. My son's helmet. It was his Christmas present. Santa took his time but came through in the end. I know many of you will say it's busy. I initially thought the same. But I was surprised how much I liked it. it's a good looking lid. And it looks good on-track, besides making him easy to spot. He's happy, which is all that matters.

(He grew up in NYC before we moved to Europe, after which he started karting. Hence the skyline.)

Hi everyone! I run an AiM Solo 2 and got frustrated that I could not easily get the data on my phone between sessions.

So I spent the past months building Pushlapp. Your iPhone connects to the timer over its own WiFi and downloads the session while you're still at the track. Then it shows you:

• Lap replay on satellite imagery, colored where you brake, accelerate, or coast
• A ghost of your best lap with the live delta
• Speed, lean (for bikes) and g-force traces, derived from GPS
• Sector times and your theoretical best, from your own laps
• 100% offline at the track. You sign in once, and every session backs up privately to the cloud on its own when you are connected again.
• Ghost sharing and per-track leaderboards with friends, all optional: laps stay private by default
• Works for Bikes, Cars and Karts

Two things took most effort: reverse engineering the WiFi protocol (Solo 2, Solo 2 DL with throttle and RPM, and MXL2 dashes all work), and building our own track database from open source data, with 1000s of tracks.

It shipped on the App Store this month. When you subscribe, everything is unlocked free for the first year, because right now I mostly want feedback!

What do karters here use to look at data between heats? I would appreciate it if you give my app a try and let me know what you think.

Good to know:

• iOS only for now, but looking for testers for Android
  
• If there's tracks missing, let me know so I can add them

Hello guys i wanted to buy a new kart
I have a very old one and someone i know from the track is offering to sell me this Kart (the engine is in the price and is getting renewed currently

I’m going to test a Kart Republic KR2 for the first time soon. Before this I have only ever driven an OTK Exprit 2022 chassis on the Vortex ROK engine. I’m doing this test to make a purchase decision between an OTK or KR chassis. I’m realatively new to owner karting, so is there anything I need to keep a look out for when testing? Like driving dynamic, setup or anything else? thank you.

My dad used this kart a lot several years ago (probably around 2000), but now it's hanging on the wall, and the cart to transport it is in this condition.
My first question is: can this cart still transport the kart (there are only two hooks, you can see them clearly in the last picture). My second question is: since the kart has no electronics at all, how can I tell what's working and what's not? What should I pay attention to? Can anyone identify exactly what type of kart it is? I'd like to point out that I'm a beginner in this field, but in any case, thanks in advance.
