The 3 Invisible Half-Truths Starting Your Racing Journey

Half-Truth #1: I Must Have a New Kart to Be Successful

While a new kart can enhance on-track performance, a driver must still hit the correct apex points, let the kart flow through corners, and avoid wrestling the steering wheel.

Starting with a new chassis may remove excuses about performance, but the best way to improve is by making mistakes and learning from them. Whether using a new or second-hand kart, drivers can find their limits, and until you’re within half a second of the pace, the driver’s skill has more impact on lap times than the chassis.

Focus on what you can control: yourself. Mastering the fundamentals of driving minimizes reliance on new equipment to achieve strong results.

Half-Truth #2: I Watch Racing on TV, It Doesn’t Look That Hard

Anyone can drive a kart around a circuit, but not everyone can drive quickly, efficiently, and safely. Karting requires minimal steering inputs, avoiding simultaneous use of the pedals, knowing track width, and using it when necessary—all while focusing on the right points of the track.

Watching shows like “Drive to Survive” won’t prepare you for the reality of racing: the speed, the proximity to the track, and the rapid decision-making required when in control of a kart.

Driving a kart isn’t like driving a car. Specific techniques unique to karting make all the difference.

Half-Truth #3: My Kid Races Online, They Must Know What They’re Doing

Unlike sports like soccer or basketball, karting isn’t something kids can easily practice in their backyard. From a young age, kids are learning to control vehicles capable of speeds over 100 km/h, comparable to freeway driving!

Understanding the fundamentals of throttle control, braking, steering, and track awareness is critical. Without this knowledge, karting can be dangerous for both the driver and others on the track.

Equip your children with the right skills to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the circuit.

Remember: Success in karting starts with mastering the basics. Invest time in learning proper techniques and fostering safe driving habits to unlock potential and enjoyment in the sport.

IS BEGINNER FOR ME?

Our Beginner Program is NOT for you if:

  • Not for you if… You already have an understanding on the fundamentals of racing.

    This program teaches how to find the ideal race line, where the apex of a corner is, steering inputs, and basic setup knowledge. If you already know how to identify these things, our Beginner Program isn’t for you.

  • Not for you if… You expect to be on the pace day one.

    Mastering corners, perfecting your braking zones, and knowing where to look on the racetrack all take time to understand and implement. If you think just by watching Formula 1 you should be the fastest on your first outing, then the Beginner Program isn’t for you. Trust the process, and the rest will take care of itself.

  • Not for you if… You listen to everyone at the racetrack.

    Asking for advice from everyone might seem helpful, but conflicting advice can leave you lost. These techniques have been developed and honed over 25 years of driving experience, ensuring you integrate the right skills for success.

  • Not for you if… You give up too easily.

    If you try something once and when it doesn’t work, move onto the next shiny object rather than finding a solution, this program might not be for you.

Our Beginner Program IS for you if:

  • You’re in the first six months of karting.

    Developing good habits early ensures rapid progression and minimizes mistakes. Learn the right techniques from the beginning.

  • You accept your driving can be improved.

    Whether it’s using more of the racetrack, less steering inputs, or consistently hitting your apexes, the willingness to learn is the first step to unlocking your full potential.

  • You want to make a successful career in Motorsport.

    Karting is the foundation for motorsport careers. By joining our Beginner Program, you set yourself up to master techniques that can take you through your journey.

  • You have not raced before.

    Sprint karting is vastly different from rental karts. Starting on a clean slate allows you to learn more efficiently and avoid bad habits.

So...

  • Want to learn correct techniques from day one? You need the Beginner Program.
  • Unsure who to trust at your local kart track? You need the Beginner Program.
  • Never driven a racing kart before? You need the Beginner Program.
  • Don’t listen to your parents but want to learn? You need the Beginner Program.
  • Want to learn from the world’s best karting coaches? You need the Beginner Program.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When can I join the Beginners Program?

Our Beginners Program is a 14-episode
instructional program
that is accessible anytime. Members will get access
to our video database as well as diagrams, worksheets and E-Books
to print out. So far, we’ve seen drivers start their karting journey with us
from 27 countries!

I’ve just got into karting, when is a good time to join the Beginner Program?

The first time you start something new, this is the
most common time bad habits can arise. By just going to the track to drive
aimlessly, without purpose and understanding areas you need to be fast, you can
fall in a trap of bad habits that are hard to eradicate down the track. Our Beginner
Program
will give drivers a platform to go to the race track themselves
with a purpose on what to work on.

I’m a rental kart champion, is this program suitable for me?

Rental karting and sprint karting are totally
different beasts to drive. One (Rental) has about 10HP with the kart weighing
about 200kg, and the other has upwards of 25HP and 160kg. So things happen
faster in outdoor sprint karting, apexes arise faster, track widths are
different, smoother steering inputs are required, so just because you win races
on a 20 second track, doesn’t mean you won’t learn from our instructional
videos.
