Why am I losing time on exits?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Corner exit speed is one of the biggest factors separating front runners from the rest of the field. You can be fast on entry and hit every apex, but if you're giving away speed on the way out of the corner, you'll lose tenths every lap.
In this episode of the Kart Class Podcast, 18-time Australian Champion David Sera breaks down the most common reasons drivers struggle on corner exit and how to fix them.
You'll learn how driving mistakes such as turning in too early, running a poor racing line, and failing to let the kart flow naturally out to the edge of the circuit can hurt your acceleration and momentum down the next straight.
David also explains the kart setup factors that can limit corner exit performance, including having too much grip in the kart, selecting the wrong axle, and how engine tuning can influence the initial acceleration phase as you pick up the throttle.
Whether you're a Cadet, Junior, Senior, or parent trying to help your driver find speed, this episode will give you practical tips to improve corner exit performance and unlock valuable lap time.
🎧 Listen now and discover where you're losing speed on corner exit — and how to turn those lost tenths into race-winning pace.
