4 Laps Daytona Milton Keynes - New Rotax Max Karts - 22Aug08

On-board footage from first test day of the new Daytona Dmax karts at the Milton Keynes Daytona circuit. Fantastic Birel chassis & Rotax engine combination with On-board starters - makes for serious arrive-and-drive karting on PROPER karts!! Very similar to Club100 karts and performance - but without the need for pusher-karts if you spin off or get punted from behind!! Give them a go - if you are used to the Pro-karts they will put a very big smile on your face...........RM ;-)

That's a great clip. I used it as a good learning tool to learn the racing line. After only a couple of arrive n drive practice sessions I'm a 1:11.276, that's driving the Honda powered twin engined pro kart, (not the rotax of course!) Does anyone know the Honda lap record / competitive pace here please? I'd love a proper bench mark to aim at for my next test.

My best around MK so far in the Pro Karts is 1:10:643 and in the Dmax 1:07:697. That's a 14st 40yr old by the way......RM ;-)

You cut Turn 1 at 2:43

That's a drive-through ;D

If the tyres are back - its worth a try...!! I'm sure my right rear was still on the white line !!! RM ;-)

Went back for another go yesterday. In the 1st session, i managed a 1.07.960 which i was pleased with

The 2nd session, different kart..best lap was 1.09.040. The kart felt nowhere near as good. :-(

Have signed myself up for club100, and will be down at Clay Pigeon in September. Looking forward to that.

My best in the Dmax @ MK so far is 1.07.697 - so we are pretty similar. My best in Club100 @ Clay is 40.550 - but that was before they were bored out to 115cc. It's a short lap - fast and twisty with nowhere to get a rest for hands/forearms - so you might find it quite tough for your first Club100 session if you've not been there before! Have a good one! RM ;-)

@RMspeedfreak Hi I know the marshalls clamp down on kerbing a this track but do they mind people using the grey tarmack on turn 2 and the final turn before the pit straight? There is a lot of time to be made there.

Omg I just went in the dmax and just blew me away. It was in the wet aswell! I do junior inkart (on inter) and we ate on dmax for this round. Can't wait to drive then in the dry

Nice video. Work on hitting your apexes. you're losing time running wide and scrubbing off speed thru the turns.
