Using the optional GPS feature of the MyChron 4 system, students will learn how to better understand the natural trends of their driver and how to improve their performance and better tune the chassis to their driving style. Marc Miller, professional race driver/drive coach and 2008 Rotax Max Grand National Champion will conduct the seminar.

Next to tires, the clutch and related components are the most abused elements on your kart.
