Setup changes from asphalt to concrete?

[Michael Contour]

Hi Guys,

Let's say you are perfectly happy with the setup and performance of your kart on asphalt. If your next event is going to be on concrete, would you change anything in the setup?

Thanks.

Not up front, usually, unless I had a really good idea how much grip difference there was, and I have driven on both surfaces in similar conditions before.

The number 1 evil with concrete that is high-grip is hopping. The general cure for that is widening the rear to max width. But there are concrete surfaces with less grip, such as was my experience with Toledo Express.
Setups may be similar for better asphalt and smooter concrete.

Give it a go and see how it handles, you can make changes between runs!
