Go Karting (KT100S)
Undertaken as a ‘hands on’ learning experience to understand vehicle dynamics and sensitivities and developing racecraft for future projects and aspirations.
Practical exercise in ensuring proper checks and maintenance to ensure maximum track time, and short and long term solutions to racing wear and tear
Exposure to data acquistion (high frequency GPS) to understand correlation between driving methods and styles
Personal Project
Year
2013-2014
Simple analysis of difference in lap times in particular parts of the track can rationalise lost time and assist in the learning curve
Rod end failure when a race driver over-tightened a wheel nut, causing him to violently steer into me.
Fortunately go-karting is a much lower stakes game that car racing so it was a quick fix and back onto the next race.
