Hi guys, here's a video of me racing at an indoor kart facility in my hometown. I would love any feedback on how to correct my driving/lines. Thanks.

I'm not an expert, and it can be a little hard to tell from some video, so I could be misinterpreting, but it does look in some places like you get a little behind the track, and wind up with a wide exit that pinches your next entrance... I want to say there's an ess section and by the end you're basically just avoiding fence (say right at 1:16), but you want to be focusing on getting the best exit possible for the longer, straighter section after that. Carrying speed onto straights trumps carrying speed through tight bits.

Again, take what I've got here with a grain of salt.

EDIT: It could be hilarious if we get some feedback from guys with serious seat time who disassemble my comments... I'm just a moderately successful local autocrosser who's driven indoor karts a few times...

Not bad IMHO. Fair lines for a fair apex. Never contact, Setup and stalk.

In reply to ransom:

I agree entirely. I had been struggling with those esses and the hairpin that shortly follows all night. I wonder if going tighter on that first turn would correct that and give me a cleaner shot out.
