Killer first post! Welcome.
When I talk to people looking to use karting as a tool to improve their car performance, my recommendation is to not get too tied up on specific driving techniques.
Rather use it as a tool to REALLY hone the your high level process of going faster.
- Looking ahead/focus/visualization
- Observation of how the vehicle responds to setup changes.
- Trying lots of different things in handling and driving. *Developing a methodical approach to making incremental improvements.
- Timing yourself not just by fastest lap, but by fastest set of eight laps (for example)
Basically practice everything from Ross Bentley’s inner speed secrets:

@DavinRS and I talked with Ross about this in a podcast too. Here’s a link if you haven’t heard the episode already:
