Kart Setup Sheets
Our host 18 x Australian Champion David Sera discusses the importance of creating or having a setup sheet to fill in your notes at the kart track.
So many times we go to the track, make adjustments then forget about what has worked and what didn't. I can recall on many occasions where I raced at a track 12 months apart yet still looked back to my notes to give myself a baseline to start with.
This might be gear ratio, temperature of the day and also tyre pressures. With many race events these days limiting the amount of practice available, it's important drivers and mechanics are switched on from session one so they aren't wasting valuable laps.
Drivers will also learn more by reading back on notes so they get a better understanding on how the kart is behaving on track.
