A late apex is to allow early acceleration, which typical carts have little of. So momentum, and not scrubbing off speed becomes the priority. Generally speaking, the higher powered a car, the later an apex can be utilized.

You are correct , although these electric karts have good acceleration

At the end of the "strait" strait , there is a 180 then a 90* strait .
I take the 90 flat out so I'm calling it a strait ...

This 180 is one of the Overtaking places I talked about earlier and have stood there spectating to see what the more experienced guys do both on an empty track and when they hit traffic there .

I could do with instruction as about the only way I know I got the 180 right is I'm carrying more speed through the flat out 90 and the tyres are near the limit making the turn .

Then I'm too fast into the next 180

Great fun though !!!
We are going to go again today
