This also means not waiting until the last minute to apply the brakes, but rather starting a little earlier so you can handle turns like a pro.

When brakes are applied while turning, it makes it much more likely that your tires will lose traction quicker and easier. This can slow you down much more than you think. And don\u2019t think you need to race into every turn at full speed like a maniac either. As stated above, control is the name of the game, so start applying your brakes early before that actual turn, so that you\u2019re able to fully release them and accelerate through and out of it.

Instead, keep your body centered over the middle of the kart, and then you can even lean out a bit as you\u2019re coming out of the turn.

If your kart begins to drift or slide, that means your wheels are losing their traction and grip to the track. Not only do you begin to lose control, but it also slows you down like crazy. Ideally, you want to be right on the edge, maintaining the fastest speed you can, without losing your tire traction. This is why we recommend braking before the turn, so that as you enter the actual turn you can begin to accelerate again and then shoot past your competition as you come out of the turn.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0f962c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"b0f962c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-019acf6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"019acf6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/highcaliberkarting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/win-your-go-kart-race-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-5483\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/highcaliberkarting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/win-your-go-kart-race-2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/highcaliberkarting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/win-your-go-kart-race-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/highcaliberkarting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/win-your-go-kart-race-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/highcaliberkarting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/win-your-go-kart-race-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9dba92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c9dba92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.

No need to be aggressive and possibly cause someone to get injured. Usually, you will want to attempt to pass someone on the inside of a corner. This will force your competitor out of the racing line while giving you a shorter distance to travel. Pointing your bumper to the inside when taking the corner will give you the inside racing line.
