Wat up awesome people,
I really need help with my braking. I read an article on this website called karting1 (
http://www.karting1.co.uk/braking-karting.htm). Apparently you need to keep your wheels on the verge of locking up. i tried on the track today and it seems I need to brake earlier than normal plus I lose time as I kept on missing the apex. Previously I use to brake more gently; as in I braked progressively, making sure i'm just on the verge of locking (basically the reverse of what the articles instructed). I was wondering what do guys do, i really need help on this aspect as I am losing A LOT of time under braking. I find karts are a bit like bikes where you can't just stomp your brakes like you do in cars. I tried a couple of track days in my friend's track prepped car, where you can just stomp the brakes. In karts the brakes lock up. Anyways as usual your advices are very much appreciated.
