But- I can afford this half-fast version for the time being, and I'd like to learn to drive them better. Any resources besides just more seat-time?
Like any other type of racing, it's all about being smooth. It seems counterintuitive sense you feel like you're going slower, but if you do it right it's faster.

On some slow turns it helps to step the back end out to rotate faster. On clutch karts like at the public tracks it's even worse because when you slide, the engine falls off too.
