Go-karting in Bully: an overview of our circuit
Master every corner of the track by following our advice on the ideal trajectories to achieve the best time on this technical circuit.
Then it’s up to you!
Bear in mind that trajectories may vary depending on the presence of other drivers.
The start of our karting circuit in the heart of Bully is in the middle of the longest straight on the course.
1.
First turn
The first bend after the straight is a very tight hairpin, where fender-benders often occur.
Our advice for the best results: brake early on, heading as straight as possible towards the bend, before cutting it.
Try to touch the rope as late as possible, following a fluid trajectory that will enable you to re-accelerate easily.
2.
Second turn
Immediately afterwards, turn 2 is also quite technical, as its trajectory tightens and leads to a second hairpin.
To maximize speed, it’s best to take this corner on the outside, then attack the rope at the last moment and maintain this trajectory in preparation for the hairpin turn 3.
3.
Third turn
For turn 3, follow the same trajectory as for the first hairpin.
With your kart, reach the chord as late as possible, allowing you to re-accelerate before tackling turn 4.
You’ll need to brake hard to prepare for turn 5, another tricky hairpin.
Set the fastest time on the track...
Turn 6 is the easiest of the circuit: it’s a fast corner that you can tackle at full speed without thinking.
At this point, you quickly enter the parabolic curve.
Although the instinct is to go around it without braking, the angle doesn’t allow you to do so effectively.
We therefore recommend that you brake, take the curve from the outside, then follow the chord to the end, avoiding skidding the tires.
This will enable you to accelerate out of the next straight with maximum speed.
This straight leads to a chicane (bends 7, 8, 9), which determines the bend before the straight.
Turn 8 of the chicane is the tightest; while the first one can be taken at full speed, it’s necessary to brake in this fast corner to avoid missing the chord point of the next one.
This will give you a smoother trajectory and enable you to maintain maximum speed at the start of the 65-meter straight.
That’s all there is to it.
Now all you have to do is apply these tips to achieve the best possible time.
