Test session at Daytona Milton Keynes with Paul Granger having his first taste of the very quick Aixro XR50 Wankel engine, lapping in 54.7 seconds, over 1 second quicker than the outright lap record he previously set in 2004 on a MSkart Biland of 55.8. New tyres and a days testing would easily see the Aixro into the 53 second lap times. 81mph on the back straight (which is short!). A very impressive engine. http://www.aim-motorsport.co.uk http://www.racedata.org

  • It isn't my kart no, I just jumped in for a go. You're right, it didn't have the perfect gearing on but also be aware that this track is VERY tight. It was originally built just for corporate and hire events and is too small and tight for a fast race event really. Still, it's a very enjoyable circuit to drive...

  • What camera setup are you using? If you look at my profile, you can see my helmet camera setup, but your field of view looks much better.

  • Replied to your other comment Jason. Your video from Infineon is very good but as you say, the wide angle lens makes a big difference. On the cadet karts, the camera is mounted half way down the nassau panel but still manages to put their feet in view.

  • its intrepid 09?

  • Yes I think so, it wasn't my kart. Chassis felt good though, it was just the brakes. At first the front brakes wouldn't stop with any power but then suddenly lock. I think with some more time adjusting it they'd work well.

  • I wanted to see the wankel engine :-( Where did you get one and what does it look like on the cart? Does it perform well? Reliable? is this common? I have never seen a wankel engine up close. COol man :-)

  • i'm hoping to have a go in one of thoes soon maybe wilton mill. that track is daytona MK i love that place only been round it in a pro kart though but to put in to perspective a recpectable time round that track in one of their karts is 1.10's looks like you were doing 54's!! thats stupid!!

    what was the thing you were adjusting?

  • @TheRealFobican adjusting brakes

    

  • 2:30 Is that a gearshaft you´re using?

  • this cart has 1 gear?

  • See this: youtube.com/watch?v=ZztMwgBLhf­o

  • @RACEDATAdotorg i heard these thing were faster than shifters (125), verdict?

  • And what about reliability of this?

  • is the intrepid a stiff kart or is it relly fexible like a tony kart

  • good job positioning the camera. The problem I had was getting it setup so its not pointing 5ft ahead.
