.....thankyou Jump up and down in the seat when you lose speed. Oh, and if MarioKart taught me anything, do this into corners as well......

Keep the kart tight, never use the brakes when cornering, and above all, make the drive smooth.
Rule of thumb for karting - the people who look like they're out for a Sunday afternoon drive, are usually the people who are lapping fastest.
Failing that, do a Schumacher and ram the competition off the track if they try and overtake!

Or if you're on the heavy side (like me - last time I went karting, we worked out I had 2/3 of the power/kg of the next heaviest!
), pick your track - such as outdoors in wet conditions, the extra weight gives you more grip
And practice makes perfect - also the Tommi Makkinen impressions are great fun, but on a good, dry track,they'll just lose you time

We're up to about a dozen people now. Glamourous prizes will be on offer from PistonHeads (well maybe a pie holder or some clothing).
It will be nice just to fill the car park with exotica

Or you could enter a series with a weight limit to even out the feild. This year in Club100's endurance series you have to weigh over 75KG or add lead weight so you come up the that weight. it makes it a more level playing feild.
