I adjust my seat to be as far away as possible from the steering wheel looool

Basic but essential, I never thought about this. 😮

Going karting to day in my 125cc 2stroke gokart ;)

Nice! Enjoy :)

I adjust my steering just so it's relatively close to me and i use 9 o clock, 3 o clock position

When is it effective to use push and pull technique?

Man your videos are so helpful. There is one thing I would like to ask you, should you coast in karting, if so, how long?

Furthest seating and torreto style 12 o' clock and gear knob hand

This week is my first owner kart run what do i have to know

When cornering for example on a right hand turn, is it better to lean into the corner in the inside wheels (like you would a quad) or transfer weight to the outer wheels?

Short answer : Stop leaning into the corner. You should lean outwards, always. Long answer : Reason 1 : A go kart has no differential. So, both rear wheels are rotating at the same speed thus preventing you from turning in (understeer on the entry phase, oversteer on exit phase) If you lean into the corner you increase that effect, wheras if you lean outward you reduce it, making the kart handling way better. Reason 2 : outside tyres are the one gripping not the inside ones, so you don't need to have grip (to a certain extent) on your inside tyres, even for a bigger car Reason 3 : It will be MUCH more confortable on the long runs. When leaning into the corner, you force against the latteral acceleration using your muscles. When leaning outward you use the seat and the tension from your body to keep you in the seat. It is way less tyring. It also reduces the chance of getting injured in case of an accident, and it is much less prone to a of body position mistake when switching from left to right corners pretty fast. Have you ever felt back pain after a kart session or the day after? You are most certainly not sitting correctly, leaning to much into the corner

First

Mate I put my hands at the top part of the steering wheel

Next time you go karting try holding the wheel from lower down as demonstrated in the video. This way your arms will naturally tuck inwards which helps distribute the load from your arms to your shoulders. You'll find that you have more control over the karts handling.
