Kart Class Podcast | Karting Tips for Parents & Young Drivers
The Kart Class Podcast is designed for parents of young kart racers who want to help their child improve—without the confusion, wasted money, or constant trial and error that comes with learning karting on your own.
Hosted by 18× Australian Champion David Sera, this podcast gives parents clear, practical insight into go-kart racing, kart setup, driving technique, race craft, and driver mindset—all explained in a way families can actually understand and apply.
With over 25 years of experience in professional kart racing and driver coaching, Sera breaks down:
• How young drivers really get faster
• Common mistakes parents unknowingly make at the track
• Kart setup basics that matter (and what doesn’t)
• How to communicate better with your child about performance
• Building confidence, consistency, and good habits early
This podcast helps parents make smarter decisions about kart racing coaching, go-kart training, and driver development, so their child can progress faster—without burnout or unnecessary expense.
Whether your child is just starting karting or racing at a competitive level, the Kart Class Podcast provides trusted guidance from Australia’s most successful kart racer.

Does Natural Ability Exist?
When it comes to driving, does talent get you further up the grid, or will hard work prevail?
Having coached over a 1000 different drivers in the past 12 years of my business, I have seen some extremely talented drivers. Whilst other drivers take longer to pick things up & as a result may take 12 months to get up to speed.
So does having a natural talent make you better or can all drivers achieve similar results on the back of dedication, asking questions and the will to learn?
As I look back on my karting career, things didn't come naturally to me, I was off the pace for 12 months, and by the 18 month mark I got my first trophy. The will to want to always improve & with the right guidance, I was able to build confidence, resilience and that's when things turned for the best.
