Kart updated to version 20220928A


As only Physics and Version number have changed, please use the link below to save bandwidth.



Data & UI folders only.


Vastly reduced engine braking and lowered overall grip perhaps 10%.
Times at Tsukuba are still three or more seconds under the lap record, but that depends alot on the track, and that I couldn't find a Kart lap record and used the motorcycle lap record.

Wow, I wasn't expecting a night like that!

I don’t remember driving any go-kart mods before so this has been a real return to my grass roots and all those $$$'s spent at various hire kart places during my teenage years....Every session I was going quicker and quicker and I found these cars rather consistent in their handling once I changed my driving style to them. Once I knew when they were going to slide it was just a matter of staying within track limits and not dropping wheels off the track.

Quali and Race 1 was a matter of head down and push hard not making any mistakes and I was shocked with the results.

During race 2 I saw a couple of 34's on my delta and so I went for it and tried to take the last corner flat because I felt that was where I was bleeding time...that didn't turn out too well after running off the road and hitting the wall and flipping several times I felt like a tennis ball in the middle of a very long rally! Dead last with a handful of laps to go....but I won't complain because the kart survived and I was soon back lapping in the mid 35's.

Race 3 was fun. I started well having a fun battle with Sparky. He was driving very well and it was quite hard to get into a clean passing position until he launched off the big curb at the 2nd last corner. From then on it was a matter of not going for a lap time, despite having a little spin at turn 3 towards the end of the race, in the end I finished with only 150ml of fuel in my kart.

Cheers Brad it was a good race indeed, look forward to the rest of the season hopefully I’ll be able to join in a bit more regularly.  That curb got me a few times last night!
