Why I filled my karting seat FULL of LEAD…
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I filled my karting seat full of lead, but why? Well in a regular arrive and drive rental karting race, you’d just rock up and hop into the kart. It doesn’t matter if you weight 50kg or 150kg, you’re weight is a variable to the kart’s performance. In this case, this race has weight minimums with two different classes: Lightweight (80kg minimum) or Heavyweight (90kg minimum). So I am under 80kg with my gear on, so I had to tape up some lead and place into the seat directly. In owner-karting, drivers still use lead, but it’s typically bolted directly to the chassis. Have you ever competed in a weight-controlled kart race?

I’d say the weight is killing my speed. Most of the drivers I go against are 50-70 kg so at 100 the speed on exit and down the straights are huge loss. I estimate the time difference at about half a second a lap because in a kart with great power with bad handling I can normally match beat them but in the ones with better handling than speed they’re usually faster by like 0.5-1 second a lap

Dunno if it would make too much difference, but being lighter means its easier to control your weight by just adding a bit of lead instead of dieting for weeks, however if you're doing a team race with pitstops, that extra time it takes to take out the seat or take lead off the posts can make or break your race
@dahorn100011

Much greater benefit to be lighter. A 10kg reduction in weight supposedly gains a tenth or more in F1. Karts have much lower power and weight so a 5kg reduction will massively improve the power to weight. Makes braking better, makes acceleration better, makes cornering better.

It’s a kart from sodi, which I driven for 3 years, so physics is getting very very close to the real thing.

Professional rental go cart racing
As a 100+kg Dude that got a brother that weigh 60 I need this 😂😂😂
Nice. I would have amazing sectors at my local indoor karting track, except one, the front straight. What's the base weight?
When I did professional karting we would do the same but would strap bars of lead to the backs of the seats in our karts.
I really like the idea of go karting at equal mass
Cool that they do this. Sadly doesn't solve the height problem though not sure there's a solution for that one. As a 6"4 person, my centre of mass being higher still makes cornering quite different to someone with a smaller frame. Low centre of mass definitely helps handling
The lead is a snack for during the race
