I've been wondering about this since we went into JNR TKM at the start of the year.

What makes a TKM DD kart faster than an equivalent kart with a clutch?
Given, say, that both are using a 10T front sprocket and rear sprocket of equal size, with engine revs making the clutch fully engaged, why should the DD kart go faster?

If, as suggested, doing a "Rotax trick" would equal the score, surely this would incease the effect of having a clutch. This being presumably to allow the engine to rev more at lower speeds and the kart accelerate better from tight bends. Surely the opposite of having a fixed DD transmission?

Given that the weight of each kart is equal, why the alledged difference in performance?
Would going to DD Give my lad better lap times with no other modifications?

I'm not trying to argue with anyone, I just want to know why this should be.

Hmm, puzzled.

Dave.
