I ate all of that kerb when I raced there back in 2021. I’m surprised more people weren’t using it, it seemed like a straight shot off the corner to turn 8
That’s my buddy Maxi. He does some really awesome stuff, he’s put a lot of time and effort into that documentary
I’m thinking there was a real budget behind his effort. It’s very professionally done! He’s on his way to internet famous!
I’m curious if he got strikes. He’s using copy written music (intro song) Perhaps he got licenses.
I didn’t get suspended until after about 3 years of streaming copyrighted music. They just growled at me and then ultimately suspended me for a week.
I switched to Epidemic music for my streaming now.
Damn this is edited and color graded so nicely!
Color grading sounds like fancy talk! What is it?
Color grading is just film talk for editing the color of video. Aka “vibes” haha.
It takes a lot of work and talent to grade a film like this so it looks consistent and styled well.
Ah so, basically making sure that the color temp changes due to varied lighting across shots is consistent. Gotcha!
First time driving in the wet this weekend for my sons and I. We don’t have wets, so we just limped it along in slicks and had a blast.
Many spinouts and a heck of a time trying to find consistency. Just when I’d start to find a good line and put together a clean lap or two, I’d lose it under braking on a tight corner.
All good though, it was a great experience and it helped us ease into our inputs and drive more smoothly.
Here’s a quick clip of some of my misadventures
Finally got my GoPro back up and running and was able to get some onboard footage again yesterday while practicing for what will be my first Stars race in KZ Masters next week. I think it’s kinda neat seeing the improvement from the first video I shared back in January compared to this one, though I’m sure there’s still room for more - feel free to chime in with tips and suggestions! Hopefully I’ll be able to get some race footage next week at MCC.
Alright I’ll bite. New Castle. Compkart Covert 3.0 / Rok Shifter. 2 different track layouts. driving tips are welcome as I’m near the back of the pack.
Welcome to KP Jake!
I’m sure one of our shifter folks will be happy to share some ideas about tackling Newcastle.
Man, does AMP look like fun! Up here in the flatlands we have very little elevation change at nearby tracks.
You need to use the whole track. You’re driving in the middle of the road most of the time and leaving like 15 feet on each exit and entrance.
That’s a lot of wet. The first spin came outta nowhere. I wish I had wisdom to share but I am a bad rain racer. What I can tell you is that the more you do it, the better you get so try to rain race when you can.
One smol thing, when it’s super wet like that, drive in the marbles. Use the perimeter of the track that collects all the gunk to find better grip for brakey and turney bits.
Had a good time at my first day testing at MCC.
I am liking the logo a bunch! 
Bro you are taking flight after T1 going into the dip! Send it!!
Your laps make @olivier.p 's look like they are in slow motion (no offence Oliver). I mean the speed differential between KA and KZ coming up that hill is sick. I don’t know if my brain could process everything coming at you at those speeds. How are your lap times compared to other KZ’s there?
Appreciate the tips, thanks Dom!
Haha thanks Greg! I’ve gone back to back with this and a KA and X30 a few times and yeah, nothing quite compares. Tons of fun.
Generally speaking I’ve been pretty competitive at the front with the other shifters, there’s one other regular that’s usually about 1-2 tenths quicker on most race days. However in this practice I’m running MG yellows instead of AMP’s usual Vega greens since Stars uses MG’s and I’m mainly trying to prep for that, so this run is a bit quicker than usual. My best time of the day was a 48.3, and the fastest time from last year before AMP switched from MGs to Vegas I believe was a 47.9 by Kremers running a Rok.
Side note - I’ve never gotten to the point where I feel happy with the Vegas. With new rubber I’ll usually be in the high 48s, but then I feel like I have to baby the tires the rest of the day just to keep them in the high 49s in the final. It makes sense for the MGs to be faster overall given they’re a softer compound, but despite that they also seem to last longer and are easier to manage. I haven’t been able to find any upside to the Vegas yet.
Every 4 cycle guy in America would agree with you there
Karts almost tipping over
3 wide on last lap
Derek running the block line!?!
What is the world coming to??
