Is there a big advantage using front brakes at the Elite Track compared to only rear brakes?

In races yes. In wet conditions yes. In qualifying or when you're not overtaking or defending not such a biggie. :wink:

You have to learn to use them as well, so don't expect to fit them on a Friday before a race weekend and be able to be faster in qualifying with them on Saturday. Initially they might slow you down.

If you're not carrying any weight on your kart they will add 2kg or so.
