I'd recommend upgrading to the 1.3 version either directly from the 
SuperTuxKart website or thru the snap store. It has some noticeable 
performance and graphics improvements over the 1.1 version in the Ubuntu 
universe archive, plus its ssl cert is up-to-date.

If you decide to upgrade to version 1.3 directly from the SuperTuxKart 
site, you probably will want to backup version 1.1 stk's config 
directory in ~/.config and in ~/.local/share before running 1.3 as, 
IIRC, some changes are made that aren't necessarily backwards compatible 
in case you want to stick with 1.1.
