What Brake Technique should I use?

In motor racing, engines play a big part to a drivers lap time. But the other area that's often overlooked, is the braking zone!

How fast a driver can go from their maximum speed to their minimum speed, not over-slowing the kart and overtaking your opposition, means the braking zones are super important.

In this episode we discuss a couple of techniques a drivers can test to see what works best for their class the next time on track.

Karts with lower horsepower don't need as much braking, and corners with camber are also in the same situation. So understanding what corners you are approaching, at what speed, and what the exit of a corner looks like will tell you what technique is best.
