Sunny Beach Karting Track consist of a complicated maze of oval high-speed curves, combined with a zigzagging chicanes. In their multi-faceted idiosyncracy, these turns are exact replicae of the most technical and complicated curves, which the contemporary F1-aces are vocated to overcome onto Automobile tracks of worldwide prominence such as Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, Monte Karlo, Valencia, Silverstone, Hockenheim, as well as Spa-Francorshamp, demonstrating masterful driving skills under rigorous competition with others. As the doom veiling these historic curves has it, their complexity has turned out to be dicisive in winning a strategic victory or loosing the F1- championship trophy.
In driving terms of view, Sunny Beach Karting Track is divided into 3 interim sections, each characterized with distinctively different principles regarding acceleration and speed, idiosyncrasies of driving, intensive braking at the attack of the various corners as well as speed balance throughout the oval curves on the speedway.
Section 1
is also called the accelaratory part of Sunny Beach Karting Track. It is designed to test your capabilities of precise and smooth bursting out of the fist corner on the track- called SENNA- before you swoop along the start-finish straightline at an astounding speed of 80 km/h. In the delicate curving through the 90- degree SENNA, decisive will be your abilities to stick to the ideal competitive trajectory of the track, with the simultaneous preservation of optimally high speed via gently balancing on the acceleration pedal, thus controlling you kart at the very brink of sideways skidding without omitting even a slightest slide. In case of such mistakes being made whatsoever, they will inevitably result in abrupt speed decelaration in the SENNA and hence- they will have an averse effect over your gaining speed along the start-finish straightline. The ulatimate consequence will be lower maximum speed at the very end of the straightline and a real jeopardy of your being overtaken by another competitor, if the latter has not made the irritable blunder of skidding sideway as passing through the Senna and therefore has had a better acceleration. If you happen to smoothly dart through the SENNA, you will dash headlong into overwhelming speeding up along the approximately 150 meter-long start-finish stretch at the stunning speed of 75- 80 km/h. At that moment you strive to position your kart rightwards onto the speedway in your preparation of bulleting through the CHICANE, without easing on the acceleration pedal or even touching the brake. This second corner indicates the borderline between the fastest SECTION 1 and the dynamical, yet much more technical and intricate SECTION 2. Each pilot, who wields the fortitude of spirit to retain a flawless level of concentration despite the adrenaline pulsating in the head and the eerie sense of body weightlessness is the polential number 1 on this speedway.
Section 2
of the Sunny Beach Karting Track is quite fast, but challenges to a greater extent the requirement for a driving mastership out of each and every pilot. Getting out the CHICANE, you have to slightly release the acceleration pedal, as you are a tenth of the second away from entering into the breathtaking and endless oval curve, called SPOON, through which you must poise your kart at the critical brink of skidding off, attaining the baffling speed of 65 km/h. Within those few seconds you will feel your heart transfixed, not beating at all and your blood flushing into your head. On swooping at the the end of this ultimate curve, the only glimpse that you catch sight of mesmerizingly intermittent red-and-white flashings of the safety tires, aligned along the rims of the track, right before you restep on the acceleration pedal, sensing the vibrations of the maximum turnovers of your kart. The flowing endless oval curve gradually straightens up and the visibility expands just in time to take a squint at a short straight line leading you directly into the most intricate and stunningly fast turn on the speedway- THE RED WATER, which comprises a combination of two successive short and abrupt left-and-right curves. At that moment you have no right to make mistakes: in case you press upon the brake- you lose precious seconds, in case you burst through the RED WATER unreasonably fast- you simply skid off and lose the race. But in both cases- you lose the tiny chance of winning the race. Due to this fact, your coordinated reflexes must outspeed your thoughts and self-preservation instincts. You just swerve the steering wheel leftwards firstly and then, within a hundredth of the second, rightwards, thus accelerating all along the RED WATER. Once you’ve overcome the breathtaking acceleration, exiting the curve, for a particle of the second you flight along a 50-metre long straight line- time enough to take a shallow breath of air before reaching challengingly overpowering 130-degree curve, called PARABOLICA. At that very moment you have to step harder on the brakes- with a precise agile reflex, in order that you absorb your dazzling speed prior to your attack at PARABOLICA. While sliding along this smooth turn, balancing on the gas pedal,, you will have to feel the centrifugal gentle skidding off of your kart, without your hearing the unpleasant sound of tyres whistling or total loss of control Exiting Parabolica indicates the entering into the slowest and most technical SECTOR 3 of Sunny Beach Karting Track. At this point, you are expected to use the 40-metre short straight line (which separate you from the HAIRPIN) for harsh, intensive and precise deceleration and absorption of your speed to level of hardly 30 km/ h.
Section 3
is specially designed to test the capabilities of the pilots of a lightning-fast adaptation during the abrupt transition from staggering speed to a tempo that sets forth a lower level of hastiness but a lot better and precise driving artifice. During the attack of the crafty HAIRPIN, you have to position your kart into the maximally rightward part of the track and afterwards you have to come as close as possible to the apex of the turn, via precisely assessed optimal speed and a single swerve of the steering wheel. This is the exact moment at which you must push the gas pedal to the bottom, thus initiating the onset of a highly complicated acceleration process, simultaneously trying to wield a masterful control over your kart, pinning it down over the very mid section of the track in preparation for the attack of the combination of the last two twin-turns- VARIANTE ASCARI. The main challenge that you face up here is the necessity of a perfectly clean and flawless passage through these two last turns, since this would be a decisive prerequisite for higher speed at the SENNA turn, hence- a more successful acceleration and greater max- speed at the end of the start-finish straight line. Having cut the VARIANTE ASCARI turns closely at their apexes, you must position your kart as rightwards as possible on the track. This will contribute to your having enough space while darting through SENNA and will let you speed up an inebriating vertigo of 65 km/h.
All that having been said, I have to highlight the fact that the above expounded analysis for making “the perfect record lap” will be attainable by only single best drivers among you! For the worldwide car-racing aces are not intrinsically born with the divine spark for doing so. These drivers are created throughout the length of their lives, after years of industry, perseverance, persistence, fortitude of spirit and an unflinching will to win. I hope that the Sunny Beach Karting Track will provide for you the perfect opportunity for a successful an promising onset into your personal pursuit of speed mastery and will also present you with the exquisite chance of touch the adrenalin and the spellbinding thrill of car-racing.
