How is this even possible? 😂

Thailand 🇹🇭 ☑️ An amazing first experience coaching 2 sisters in Chiang Mai this week. We pushed the kids to limits they didn’t think were possible / achievable. Now to head home & kick start our January school holiday programs to get off to a winning start in 2026.

The most common mistake from new drivers? ❌ Early Apex This is due to drivers vision being too close (short sighted) and with kids as young as 6 driving at speeds of 80kmh things happen FAST! 💨 So we need to coach / teach drivers to look further around the corners.

From every corner of the globe, good luck Oscar! 💜 P.S. Thank you to the literal THOUSANDS of fans that submitted a video for this lil project 🫶 #F1 @teamopeightyone @OscarPiastri

How to defend your position: When holding the inside line (dirty part of the circuit) brake earlier and “park” the kart on the apex. What does “park” the kart mean? Slow down more than normal to not allow the kart behind to undercut you on the exit and retake that position.

The BIG 1: SUPER SUNDAY To win on Super Sunday you need: ☑️ A fast kart at the backend of the race (double race distance over the heats) ☑️ Track Position - it’s hard to win from any further back than the top 10 ☑️ A risk it all mindset kartclass.com/blogs/news/how…

SuperNats Diary: Friday Heat Races ☑️ Survive Heat 1 ❌ A crash early in the weekend ruins your chances You need to leave the track on Friday with 2 solid results, then you can already map out what needs to take place on Saturday. kartclass.com/blogs/news/how…

How to (Nearly) Win the SuperNats Wednesday Warm Up ☑️ Give yourself some space session 1 ❌ Avoid packs: this is where accidents occur ☑️ Track rapidly improves from day 1 > 2 so avoid risks Day 1 Tomorrow we’re gearing up for Qualifying kartclass.com/blogs/news/how…

How Fast are Shifter Karts? Often referred to as the F1 of Karting, Shifter Karts are the fastest category! 0-60MPH in 3 seconds Top Speeds around 95-100MPH 35-40 Gear Changes a lap On average 600-800 gear changes per race The fastest, most physically class in Karting!

@RyanWalkinshaw @supercars Woody to T8?

So that’s 3 separate driver contracts broken by 3 separate teams so far this silly season. Surely a record for @supercars

How hard to use the pedals? Aggressive inputs create instability. By slamming the brakes on, karts will lose control in the rear end. When drivers accelerate aggressively they increase the chances of oversteer & tyre degradation. Progressive inputs will give you control.

Wet Line vs Dry Line When it’s wet (on slick tyres), staying off the rubber is key 🔑 to gaining more grip / traction. So try avoid the rubber line where possible! In the dry, look for the (rubber), as this will act like glue for your tyres and give you more stability!

How to take an S-Bend So many drivers think about the first part of an ‘S’ but not the second part. This often leads to: A) A bad setup B) A bad exit Try plan ahead so you can position the kart in the right spot to exit fast.

Patience is Key 🔑 The left hand corner is “off- camber”, meaning the inside is the highest point & the track drops away to the outer edge of the circuit. This type of corner requires patience to decrease your chances of sliding & using excessive race track.

@F1 What’s he DOOHAN?

Colapinto spins off at the final corner 😵 He disappears in a cloud of dust but manages to get going again and then parks up 🔴 RED FLAG 🔴 #F1 #BritishGP

Which Apex are you driving? Early Apex 🔴 Late Apex 🟢 Newcomers tend to turn in early. This is due to not using the full track width on entry + looking close to the front of their kart As you get more experience, drivers will widen the entry to a corner & take later apexes

Which apex point are you hitting? When drivers focus too close to the front of the kart, they tend to turn in early & apex too soon. The problem with that? This means the driver will be later to the throttle and lose momentum on the exit. Later apex = earlier to throttle

Why did this kart spin? First time driving in the rain 🌧️ is always challenging! If you drive the same lines as the dry, you’re likely to lose traction. From one lap (turning in on a tight line) to the next (wider entry & straighter exit) the results are remarkably different!

@terencedove That was impressive!

Absolutely agree with @DaveSera on deliberate 360 degree controlled spins being massive for confidence IF you've got the space for it. This is Oliver Meek on a day that was a real breakthrough in 2023, where he decided a 360 and still make the apex was the target.
