The tips, the tricks, the technics, the kart setup, the weather and most of all the driver readiness to put it all together with the right decision will definitly plays and important role to set the best achievement.
As for me, it doesn’t matter on time I clocked as long as a continuous learning and racing spirit stays in me I’ll be glad.
regards
Thanks for the comments,Now I can consistenly clocked “13 and “14…using kart #3 …and I’ve noticed one thing, inthe late evening, where the temp is cooler, the kart is performing good drastically.
Learned some new techniques metioned in the topic, and it works great….like
~ keep the RPM high on the corner ( I just slammed teh brake and never release the throttle )
~ weight shifting
~ slow in fast out
~ tailgating and pushing the front opponentMy comments on kart #3 at City Karting 80cc ( time sheet it use #36 )
– very fast from mid to high
– no rear grip…have to turn early and let it slide a bit
– moderate vibrating
– suitable for ppl like me 180cm/75kgNot targeting high “12 and constant “13..lucky me I have sparring partner that can go gila with me with this ultimate money spending hobby….

Pretty good! As they say practice makes perfect. That will certainly help improve the lap times. Good that you are also joining the monthly KART series events. Racing technique and single lap shoot out technique are two different things.

how do u know u consistently clock 1:13 when the timing sheet only prints out fastest lap?
u had a fren with a stopwatch clicking each lap for u?havent been there with friends for quite some time already..so forgot how the time sheet looks like.
saw it today though. 🙂nothing consistent, original kart had engine problems, replacement kart just managed 3 laps
my best personal time at my weight of 95kg at citykarting one practice session was 1.12…..normally 1.15-1.18 on 80cc…..
Hope can lose more weight…..[quote=alfagta]Hope can lose more weight…..[/quote]
Good for you bro!
But watch out for the folks like Razmyn, Michael who will offer to treat you to loads of oily roti canai. *lol*
[quote=Huffiz]Wai Leong metioned that 12Kg is 0.7secs on a 100cc karts is i’m not mistaken. Slower karts like 80cc should do close to 1 full second logically……..
There’s no real benchmark for rental karts here.[/quote]Well, i guess we could do a drag test of different weight to test it out….

But a drag test would only show on one part of the track. And there are many corners in a single lap.
Bazet,
I’m 77kg.
Today I managed to kart at Citykarting since my last visit in Jan 2004. (No rain and I happen to be around Shah Alam, so quickly quickly go there to put in some practise to get a feel of the extended track)
I took cart #10 and somehow the cart somehow feels a bit slow. Somehow I could only wring out 1’18” out of the cart and I know it could get better as I’m the first driver for the kart (cold kart and am trying to familiarise with the track again) and the cart is improving as the tyres get hotter but before I could get the hang of it, my 10 minutes is up. Frust!
On the old track layout, my best time was 1’10”.
I would try again tomorrow. Care to join me for a spin?

Reviving this ‘old thread’…
Just wondering what’s the fastest lap time on 80cc at City Karting with the current track set up??
A couple of months back I was at a corporate event but didn’t take part, just went to kepoh and take photos… But there was 1 particular kart which seem to have the performance edge over the other karts. So immediately after the event, I took the kart and went for my 10 min drive…
Managed to clock a 1:12.20… If I’m back to my 50kg frame, it should be sub 1:12.00…
