ayy lmao my best lap time was 1:13 on the outdoor course like 3 years ago. i needed 3 days practice to get that time tho. its all practice. i was horrible at the start too. just go karting more often

nevermind just saw its fucking bahrain

Some people just are naturally better, some people need a lot of practice

You're turning too much. Read about lines, the goal is to turn as little as possible. In my experience, karts are particularly punishing of bad lines because the tires scrub almost instantly. You only have like 10 degrees of usable steering angle until you start ploughing.

Also, try sitting as far forward as you can. The more weight you can get off the rear tires, the more the kart will rotate rather than push.

With proper race karts you want to be immobile in the seat.

Practice wasn't a problem because I wanted to do this often but with these results I don't know if it's worth it.
I'm not fat. I've gotta stay fit since I'm in the military.
I couldn't learn the track line since it's in Bahrain and I'll most likely not come back because I live in the good ol' U.S. of A.
I'll be going to Dubai soon so might try it there

You have to follow a different line in a kart than in a car. In a turn, you have to get on the gas earlier, and apex later. Generally, focus on maintaining your momentum.

its expensive as fuck thats all i can say. youre better off saving up cash and then racing a mclaren mp4 along the actual track. which is even more expensive but insane fun.

Thanks, these are the kind of tips I was looking for.
I could say I was putting my weight back.
I was actually leaning towars the side I was turning. Why should I stay immobile? Is it aerodynamics?
I also didn't think the line for a car and a kart would be different.
