Re: How To Brake?
NickW, could you comment on the difference between driving karts and cars. It seems that a lot of your racing experience is in karts, but in limited experience with serious karts I found them to be completely different to drive. The main difference being that karts don't really have a suspension, so the weight transfer happens much more quickly than in a car suspension. I was driving kart without a rear differential, so you really had to use the brakes to lift u the inside rear wheel to get the kart to turn in. You pretty much had to do a slight amount of trail braking into most turns.
But I'd love to hear your thought on the differences ihow you have to drive these very different beasts. It's a bit like driving a front wheel drive vs rear wheel drive. You use the throttle with quite different effect in turns. but what about karts vs a Porsche?
