Senna content coming soon?

[ITCC_Andrew]

Actually the Lesmo bends were modified to reduce speed in the later years. I hope they recreated the original Lesmos as they were.

That and the first chicane should be changed.

The Kart is pretty much already a 'base model'. There is no paint on it.

Senna's Kart: tubes, seat, engine, plate with a number, steering wheel and a exhaust.

That's karting in the 70s....

 

[Samus]

Well anyway the proper English blog does feature a lot of 'such as', 'includes' and 'Those include' so that does seem to suggest this isn't everything they will have. More will probably be revealed with the second slideshow.

 

[05XR8]

second slideshow (wait for the speculations) may have Adelaide or his wet race at monaco, 1980-1985 content perhaps?

That's karting in general. The one in my garage (2009) is not much more advanced.

That is true...

Remove the slightly aerodynamic bodywork and they all look like that underneath.

Yep, I know that. Since I was born in the second half of the 90's (1996), I find that kart funny, simple and strange at the same time.

Kart specs? Anyone?

HD pictures of Senna’s #17 DAP Racing Kart

Not convinced... Why only in Brazil? Why not elsewhere?

Most of foreigners don't have a clue about the worship of Ayrton Senna in Brazil
he's the second most worshiped idol of all times in here (Pele's the first), in a country of 200 millions fanatics for soccer - who already had 2 amazing pilots in the F1 before: Fittipaldi and Piquet

btw, the copies of GT6 here come with the Senna's content on the cover and the partnership with PD's got a moderate coverage in the local media (besides the average gaming community)

Well, no. The frames have been stiffened and softened. The seats now a days are lower for improved center of gravity. Otherwise, yes, they are the exact same. The tie rod design used on that kart would actually work on mine. 40 year old tie rod design and it still is considered one of the best handling vehicles ever made.

Kinda sucks to sell itm

There is something beautifully pure and mechanic about it. Wonderful.

2 stroke, looks to be a 125cc, air cooled, probably 20 horsepower approximately. I would guess it will be 2 kg. Lighter than the Jr., with similar performance but more slippery tires...

 

[Michelin]

I love that image. 👍

100cc, air cooled, direct drive, bump start. At the time roughly 26+ hp.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I've had another look. The brakes are rear-axle specific, as with the Jr., 100, and 125.


The axle looks to be a fully solid axle. If this is well-implemented, the kart will shunt/bind in corners as it did in the 80s. This is the main difference between 80s karts and modern karts.

100cc, air cooled, direct drive, bump start. At the time roughly 26+ hp.

So, wait, it actually is a Briggs & Stratton engine? !!!!!!!!!!

I'm excited now. All we need is Honda 200s.

Actually, I can't tell which manufacturer it is, but it is definitely two-stroke. The intake is into the crankcase, not the cylinder head. I looked it up on Google.

@ITCC_Andrew nice triple post mate.

@ITCC_Andrew nice triple post mate.

I figure people will want to know. It is hard to find specific figures about Senna's kart, but I've been racing them for 9 years, so I know about them and want to share my info.

Yes, but use the edit button is his point.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I got a bit excited

 

[HarveyG]

Senna's kart makes Interlagos look pretty likely along with the karting track because I believe he raced and won on both tracks.

Can't wait for November so I can go watch the 6Hrs of São Paulo again.

 

[vasiliflame]

I like the rusty exhaust and the fuel tank or should I say a used 5litre oil tub held on with carpet tape

 

[ukfan758]

I am now really excited for this content, now I will actually play the game . If it has not been posted already, here is the 1980's Monza layout:

The main difference I see is the first chicane and the second chicane are much smoother compared to their modern counterparts. Here is my question, why has the FIA made the chicanes so sharp now (like a nose) compared to the chicanes in this picture and the old bus stop at Spa Francochamps that look so much better and challenging?

Edit: The second chicane appears to be the same, the Lesmos appear to be smoother and not a rough. If only Monza today and many other tracks were like the ones during this era.

I'm being a pedant now, but that's more of a waterproof cloth tape, a.k.a. Duct Tape or Tank tape, than it is a Carpet tape, which, though also typically scrim reinforced, tends to be double-sided.

Uni-directional bonding strip FTW

Sooo.... the Brands Hatch changes are these??

Graham Hill Bend also had a wider radius.
