as above, you can take pretty much all the corners flat, or you may need to just button off for a moment to get the car to turn in better with the exception of the hairpin which requires some brakes. a smooth line through the hairpin will set you up for the rest of the track

The big boys struggle up the hill. You can drive right round the outside of them.

Very few will have the balls to take the last corner before the start finsh straight flat from the first lap and you can make up places early. They will get it after a few laps though.

As above definately only brake for the hairpin.

I found the best line through the first corner after the start finish line was to double apex it. This way you can definately take it flat without lifting.

If you dont win with your weight and given the others weight you should be shot.....

Lean OUT on corners NOT IN as you think, put all your weight on the outside wheels for traction. My friends older brother was 3 time national champ in the twin supers and he gave me this advice, it works!!! I won my work karting do this way, got a nice little trophy too!!!

Went on a company go-kart day there. It is ridiculously fun.

Wish you all the best of luck in beating all those big blokes! :P

I'm unsure of the engines they use at Barbagellos but I have been in my cousins 'clubman class' single motor kart at cockburn which was clocked at 160km. Now that was fun.

Is fantastic fun, initially seems expensive but once you get out there its a great couple of hours.

They tell you to leave plenty of space between yourself and other drivers but give it a few laps and you find yourself 3 a breast all heading into the hairpin trying to be the last to brake...awesome

Be aware though they dock you points for spinning and dangerous driving

Initially expensive - thats true. I've had mates bitch about the cost before they went - now I keep getting asked 'when are we going again' hehe

they actually switch off one of the motors if you're misbehaving, and trust me... you can probably walk faster!
