GO-KART!!

go-kart is the fundamental key to all types if racing...
everyone who ends up in F1 races started up with go-kart.
so i went to gave it a try though i played it before with my friend's go-kart but that was a long time ago and lost the touch already by now.





though the size is small, the feeling is thrilling!!
don't take this as a small toy.










the go-kart provided by the company are actually could be considered not up to standard. Not all the go-karts that they provide have equal performance. The maintenance is kinda bad.
some kart's brake aren't effective and some lack pick-up power. But new karts are going to replace the old ones next month.

the track available is only 630 feet long but very quirky. not to mention, slippery ground.



it was a great experience having to drive a go-kart.











The tricky part about go-karting is the cornering.
On slippery roads, understeer are most likely to occur.

To overcome the problem, brakes are being applied to lock the rear wheels letting the rear drift while the momentum are being shifted to the front wheels letting it to have more traction on the road. The moment to apply the brakes vary to the angle of the corner.

It's totally a different concept from drifting like the ones that are usually seen on tv. Those type of drifting usually had the front of their car pointing towards the apex while drifting. But this method could not be applied in go-kart.

It's not easy to explain. Experience it and you'll feel it.
