    How do you handle the first hairpin and turn 8, what markers do you use to let off for the hairpin? and turn 8 almost being a double apex is it better to just hug the inside? or go wide to hit the second apex and get a better exit.

    Do you only brake on the first hairpin after the ramp? For turn 2, are you full throttle or do you let off to let the kart rotate? Also, for turn 3, do you recommend hitting the apex or no? I saw another vid where you did hit the turn 3 apex.

  • @dawsoncampbell
    @dawsoncampbell2 ай бұрын

    yes I only brake at the fast hairpin. Turn 2 quick lift on entry then right back to full throttle. Turn 3, I'm undecided, I think it's faster to not hit it, carry the speed because you're full throttle from Turn 2 to the fast hairpin.

But it was sooo fun as you can tell by me laughing super hard at the end lol. 21.7 is a respectable time, check out my tutorial video and see if you're using the same racing line as me. Outside of that it's just about pushing each corner as much as possible without going over the limit and hopping, that kills your momentum.

Definitely a stupid move and lack of etiquette for sure so I take responsibility on that one. Tried pushing it in an area I couldn’t. First grid race threw my cool off and got me frustrated after the guy behind me punted me on the first turn and drove me to the wall for 4 laps straight ruining the chance for me to get a good 3 way battle between me you and I believe Micheal. There was definitely a lot of contact within the grid races that should’ve been addressed. Anyways congratulations once again on the win well deserved!

There was absolutely zero officiating and honestly I'm surprised they even gave you the position back after you got spun out. At the end of the day we all knew it was gonna be chaos and you kinda had to make passes with your front bumper so no harm no foul. Great racing with you man, you're super quick.
