|Tips for Faster Laptimes

3 Tips to give you the ultimate chance of winning....

If you’re looking to shave seconds off your lap times at Formula Fast, mastering a few key techniques can make all the difference.

By perfecting the racing line, braking efficiently, and keeping your focus on the track ahead, you’ll find yourself navigating the track faster and more smoothly.

Read on for our top 3 tips to help you improve your speed and performance on the circuit.

| Master the Racing Line

Tip: The key to improving lap times is to follow the ideal racing line. This means taking wide entries into corners, clipping the apex (the innermost part of the turn), and exiting wide. Doing this reduces the need for harsh steering inputs, helping maintain speed and grip through corners. 

| Brake Smoothly and Early

Tip: Many beginners brake too late or too hard, which can cause skidding or slow exits from corners. Brake smoothly and early before the corner, easing off the brakes the more you turn, so you can accelerate out of the turn as early as possible.

| Look Ahead and Stay Focused

Tip: Focus on the track ahead, not just on the kart in front of you. By looking ahead and anticipating the next turns, you can position yourself better, react faster, and maintain better overall flow, which shaves off time.

AFTER THE RACE Lap time printouts are available after each of your sessions, so be sure to grab these upstairs and event talk to one of the team for extra tips!
