How to set a fast lap time?
It’s not just cornering, but also throttle and brake inputs that lead to a good lap time. There are also external factors that contribute to setting a quick lap time. When the track has been driven on throughout the day, it heats up, providing more grip for the karts. Often, fast laps are also set a couple of laps into the session, once the tires warm up, giving your kart more grip. If all these factors come together in a lap where you hit all your marks, brake at the right points, turn in at the right points and keep your momentum going, you can set a quick lap.
