If you are looking to race tomorrow you will be lonely because racing was today!

I personally the lat two posts are a bit harsh. The new extention is spoilt by the bumpy entry to what could have been an excellent driving corner I accept but otherwise the the track variation is no worse than many MSA tracks.

The curcuits runs pro Karts on weekdays and these tend to scrub the "racing rubber" off so we have to rubber in the track again, but once there the grip level is fine and predictable.

for 177 start on an 89-90 rear sprocket
Sl6's start at 10-12 cold and drop to 8-9 cold as track rubbers in.

Chassis setting is far more complex as it depends on your driving style ...and as redlodge is very tight and twisty in places the setup will change as you pick up the lines needed.

What you don't want is a twitchy kart ...it must be smooth and loose enough to handle the bumps that certainly do exist.

Rib protector needed for sure but personally I would get in a kart without one.
