How can I be 2 seconds off in practice and then only 3 tenths off on race day? I know that the presence of other drivers on race days means that one will push harder, but I am wondering if there is more to it? Where am I finding all my time on the race day? Let me know your thoughts.

Have you looked at data? Are we taking sessions on same day, or morning practice of a race event? Draft can be a factor, but unlikely to be to the degree you’re experiencing. Your kart might simply be set to kill for the race. Not a bad thing?

Think about these things: Different day - different results I am sure there are a few variables not tracked. Racing is a diminishing return game. In practice you encounter slower karts and try different things that don’t work, learning what not do as you go. It does seem you have a good problem…

Lots of factors. • Quickest drivers are up to speed immediately, so they have less time to find throughout the weekend. Look at the leaders’ times in practice 1 vs. happy hour. I bet any time they pick up is almost solely down to track evolution. They’re on it from lap 1 in the first session. • Tr…

Thank you all for your responses. I will look at the data to see what I am doing differently. I do have adhd and add so that may help explain some things. There was no one else on track either. Which doesn’t help. I do have video if anyone wants to look at it. Track was also green due to rain past …

Ok so a few things, and it’s not unreasonable to put a chunk of it down to track conditions. I think you might need to put a little less pressure on yourself. Not same day as racing when rubber is down. Track is green. Nobody else on the day to compare to. Concentration might be a factor, sure. Y…

@KartingIsLife yes sir! The tonykart next to it is mine too.
