[QUOTE="OSFlanker, post: 44594, member: 12"] This is not theory but fact! Assuming 2 persons of identical weight in identical karts. A comes out of the corner at 60kph but B comes out of the corner 40kph. The one that comes out of the corner at at 60kph will hit a higher speed at the end of the straight. If A was close behind B before the corner, he would have overtaken B about the middle of the straight and there is nothing B can do about it. If a telemetry system was fitted to the karts, the theory can be clearly illustrated by comparing the RPM between the expert karter and the fun karter at various points on the track. Also, most of the time the beginners will go into corners too fast therefore upsetting the kart through the corners. So much for the theory - when you are pedal to the metal down the straight, it's more fun to keep the pedal where it belongs! Esp when your kart is at 13,300 rpm and still climbing......sigh, Jules is going to tembak me :blink: [/QUOTE]
