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.

Carburettor Settings on a Kart
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
To get the most potential from your kart, you need your engine on song. That's why understanding your carburettor and the correct settings can extract that last bit of potential.
The first six letters in Motorsport spell Motor, so we know we need good performance to be competitive. This episode is trying to teach drivers and mechanics the understanding of a lean or rich carby and how to best tune their engines.
With more technology available to drivers these days, mechanics are able to download and see the air fuel mix ratio and lambda settings at their disposal after a session and then tweak the carby settings.
