Leaning in your kart question

Hi Terence i have noticed alo of the top karters lean into the corners, in particular high and medium sped corners. would you say this is a good technique and if so what is this doing?

Quite often they do this unconciously. Rather than a special technique, it is often as a result of them looking further round corners which means they naturally lean into corners, lead by where their head wants to take them. Also, high grip karts require a great deal of strength, and some drivers like you use the strength in their shoulders to turn the wheel which means they push their body in the direction the wheel is turning.

Ask me anything
