Racing Kart Question I am having trouble with my MCP brakes
I recently purchased a go kart not sure what brand or what it’s called. Came with MCP brakes with the lines all cut, not sure how to get it back together? Do I just put new hose and bleed it and hope there’s no trash in there ? How should I go with this

Racing Kart Question How do you all track your lap time progress? (built a free thing for it, want honest feedback)
Genuinely curious how people here track their improvement — notebook, spreadsheet, memory? 😅
I got so obsessed with beating my times that I ended up building a free tool for it called DriverIntel — you log your laps and it shows your best/average, a progress graph per track, and gives you AI coaching on where you're losing time. 2,700+ tracks in there, totally free.
I'm solo and still early, so I really want honest feedback from actual karters: is something like this useful, or do you prefer doing it your own way? What's missing?

Rental Karting Question What should I prioritize as a beginner
Ive been driving rental karts a bit and I plan on driving more often.
My goal is to race my own kart in a year or something.
So I’m wondering what I should prioritize; getting clean laps and trying to improve lap time as much as possible. Or try to go to rental karting when there are as many people as possible on the track to improve my race craft?

So I am a 14 year old rental karting driver from Bulgaria and I really want a owner kart but I have a problem. My family doesn't want me to get a car because they don't want to spend money on tires, gas and transportation for the kart. They also don't have time because my parents are both lawyers and they are always busy. Pls help!

Racing Kart Tips and Tricks Indie-made software to set up your front end in seconds
Hello everyone, I'm seeking outreach for my project for a second time on this subreddit.
For close to a year now, I've been developing a karting front-end setup, prediction, and alignment tool called Alignment Lab where you can choose your desired camber and castor setup for your kart, and the software visualises ur pills to show you how to achieve that setup instantly - no more guessing setups.. There's a lot to cover, so feel free to check out the attached photo and visit 'Alignmentlab.app', where you can get a license key for it.
I have made a 25% discount code '25off' for anyone interested in buying it
This software is the first of its kind and is guaranteed to improve your confidence in your kart by giving you a setup that is derived from math, not from guessing.

Locked Feedback request: can you draw the best Racingline and design a track
A project I've been working on for a few weeks now and would really appreciate some feedback from some racers! It's simple, you draw a racing line and see how you can improve the time over a "qualifying session". There are leaderboards to compete and can even design your own tracks to submit for the game. Any feedback would be highly appreciated. guessthef1driver.com/racelines

Kart Identity Help Wanting to buy this kart but cant identify the frame
I have seen this kart for sale and think about buying it.
I know its old i know it is better to get a newer chassis and such but altough i love karting i dont know if i will be able to have enough time to spend on it in terms of teack days and such so i wanna try it woth a cheap kart. I am not going to do races or anything just normal training days and having a blast.
But now the main question: Does anyone recognize this frame? The owner says he cant find any brand markings and doesnt know what he needs. The engine on it is a RK1 150CC engine which has been used in the local k4a championship a few years ago but i cant find anything about this frame

Racing Kart Question What do you want to see in a modern karting game?
Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you to everyone who shared feedback, technical corrections, kart references, and real karting experience in our previous discussion.
After reading the comments and studying the feedback, I wanted to ask the community a broader question — not only about kart models, but about the overall game experience.
We are developing Karting Core, and our goal is to make a karting game that feels enjoyable not only for general racing game players, but also for people who are directly connected to karting, follow karting, or have real experience with it.
I’m attaching a few new close-up screenshots of our current high-detail kart model. This one is closest to the top-performance shifter category and is helping us define the technical and visual level we want to reach.
Regarding real manufacturers, logos, liveries, and original kart designs: this is something we will continue working on. In cases where we receive permission from manufacturers, we would of course like to include original designs or official brand elements in the game.
Our goal is for the racing aesthetic to feel as close to real karting as possible. Where that is not possible, we will create original Karting Core designs with fictional branding, while keeping the technical characteristics and driving behavior grounded in real karting classes.
Now the main question:
What would you want to see in a modern karting game that is still in development?
I’m especially interested in what would make the game feel believable, fun, and satisfying for people who care about karting in real life.
During racing, what matters most to you?
- handling and physics
- braking feel
- tire grip and tire wear
- steering wheel / force feedback support
- AI behavior
- race rules
- damage system
- track design
- wet racing
- dirt / gravel racing
- setup adjustments
- engine sound
- onboard camera
- online racing
Career progression is also an important part of the game.
How would you like a karting career to work in a game? Would you prefer structured championships, starting from entry-level karts and progressing into faster classes?
Or would systems like licenses, sponsors, reputation, team offers, tournaments, unlockable tracks, parts, and garage items make the career more interesting?
We are also building a full garage system where players can spend time between races, upgrade their kart, order parts, customize the space, and prepare for the next event.
What would make the garage fun or useful for you?
- kart upgrades
- repair and maintenance
- multiple karts
- trophies and career items
- visual customization
- ordering parts
- a kart builder / constructor system later in development
The game is planned to include career mode, classic races, drift mode, dirt / gravel racing, garage progression, kart upgrades, and male / female playable characters.
Any ideas are welcome — gameplay, physics, garage features, progression, kart setup, tracks, cameras, sound, small details, or anything else that would make the game more enjoyable for karting fans.
We will read the suggestions carefully and seriously consider the ideas that fit the direction and scope of the project.
Steam page for context:

Thanks again — the feedback 🏁

Rental Karting Question Are there any places in New Jersey that have arrive and drive sessions for Rotax karts?
So I recently went to NJMP in Millville for an arrive-and-drive session. There, they had your run-of-the-mill 4-stroke gas karts, which were way better and more fun than the crappy electric karts in Supercharged Edison. But when I went there, I also encountered a whole group of Rotax go-karts racing around, and it made me wonder: Is it possible to drive these for just a day or so? I don't have the time or the budget to own a go-kart. I own a Snell 2020-rated motorcycle helmet, and I'd love to get the chance to drive a two-stroke go-kart for a few minutes at last. I've driven go-karts multiple times, and I've played GT7 multiple times, so I do know my stuff. If there's anything else, please let me know.

Karting Chat Hello, I'm an adult noob, I tried karting for the first time last week...
I tried at a K1 Speed track, because I've wanted to give karting a go but I'm a noob who doesn't know anyone into racing other than watching it on streaming. So, here I am all by my lonesome. Hello!
I am hoping to find people to talk with. Also, having lurked moar here for a good while before I tried karting, it seems people look down on rental electrics a lot? I don't really have much of an alternative, and I don't want to spend money buying until I know what's going on (or possibly ever because...karts seem *hella* pricey and I don't need a new expensive hobby :( alas).
Can people still learn real racing at indoor rental tracks? Any other non-kid beginners out there? I had a great time but was deeply embarrassed at people watching me figure out racing lines, hah!

Racing Kart Tips and Tricks PSA: ALFANO DATA ANALYSIS PRO Video Sync Issues
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Kart track is Wohlen, Switzerland. KartRepublic KR2, Rotax, Warmup Session.
---
I am writing this because i could not find any documentation or similar post on the internet.
This is a post is for any poor soul using the ALFANO DATA ANALYSIS PRO Video Sync feature.
Starting from Version 2.1.3 this feature no longer worked for me on Windows 11. Every time i tried importing or associating a video via the function "Associate a video with the session", i got an Error saying: "ffmpeg.exe is missing, please connect at internet and start again the software".
I tried installing ffmpeg seperately on Windows and setting up the Environment Variable Path to the bin folder of the ffmpeg installation but that did not work.
What either works is to use any Version before 2.1.4 (for example use 2.1.3) or to use the Non-Pro Version ALFANO DATA ANALYSIS which imitates the mobile app.
Also, the mobile app and the PRO Version need the video to be ideally 1280x720 Pixels and a maximum length of 30 minutes. This is only explained in the mobile app.
Also, if you want to synch a video with the telemetry, you need to ensure that the Video starts BEFORE Lap 1 of the data that you imported into ALFANO DATA ANALYSIS PRO. If you try to synch the video with a negative offset (the video starts after lap 1) it will simply not synch and revert to an offset of 0 (the video starts at the start of lap1).
Hope this helps someone mashing their head against this issue.

Rental Karting Tips and Tricks Would anyone like to try my Android telemetry app before it goes public?
Hi everyone!
I'm a software engineer and a karting driver. Over the past year I've been building TrackTakTak, an Android telemetry app for karting and track days.
The app is already being used by real drivers and is stable enough for regular use. It records telemetry using your phone (with an external high-frequency GPS receiver), shows live lap delta while driving, and lets you analyze sessions in the browser with lap comparisons, racing lines, telemetry graphs and G-G diagrams.
I'm now preparing the public Google Play release.
Unfortunately, Google requires a closed testing phase before I can publish it, so I'm looking for a few more Android users who'd simply like to try the app.
You don't have to be a "tester" or write detailed reports. Just use the app during a normal karting session. If you notice something confusing, inaccurate, or think something could be improved, I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback.
If you're interested, the process is simple:
- Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/tracktaktaktesters
- Install the app from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.tracktaktak.app
Even installing the app and using it during one karting session is incredibly helpful. Of course, if you find bugs or have suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
I'm not looking for fake reviews or ratings, just real feedback from people who actually enjoy karting.
Thanks!

Racing Kart Video First time driving a go-kart. Here's how it went.
Just tried karting for the first time, and I honestly didn't expect it to be this much fun. The speed, the close corners, and trying to find the racing line made it way more challenging than I imagined.
I recorded the experience so I could look back on it later. If anyone's interested, here's the POV from my first session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr3BT8IvA44
Definitely looking forward to doing it again!

Racing Kart Question 212 smoking stage 3 need help thank you
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I built this 212 I bought a kit off eBay and now my engine smokes a lot and fouls spark plugs easily. What do I do? The kit said the company used the same kit on their engine, and I think the problem is the carb. Could I be right? I have the smallest jet they gave me in the carb, and it still smokes. I did the coil gap right; I set it to .25 I have no idea what the problem is. I also attached a vid.
