Be smooth as Big_Ham said, sideways and sliding is not fast and never will be, although sometimes depending on the corner 'squaring it off' by chirping the rear wheels (locking them) momentarily and rotating the kart around the corner works wonders.
Don't pull to turn the steering wheel, push it with the arm furthest from the apex of the corner and keep it stiff, doing so makes your arm somewhat of a stressed member adding stiffness to the chassis, making it easier to keep a faster corner speed.
Best of luck Dunc, if you use any of the tips above I claim a 20% management fee. ! ____________________ "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul."

I am really shite at go karting. I need this advice too. I don't drve so perhaps that doesn't help.
Al though I am 87 KG and was racing 60/70 KG Vietnamese people! ____________________ Hit the G spot.  |

So I never won, and most of my time was spent going sideways. Lots of fun though!!
When I got back in the car I managed to crash into the tyre wall in the car park. Oh well.
I want to go again!  |
