Braking drift and inertia drift of karting


Two-stroke karts only need to use drift when passing high-speed corners, and here the drift is not drift in the traditional sense, just with a little side-slip zero boundary point through the corner, the rest of all the time to maintain the grip, to talk about skills, only constantly and constantly practice, the results are piled up from running laps, the more you run, the shorter the time.

When attacking a corner, found in the correct direction after the operation still encountered downhill, the active trigger drift is an effective method, the use of simultaneous application of force on the tires in both directions X and Y axis, can easily trigger sliding friction this feature, the venue kart can be extremely extremely easy to enter the side-slip state.

Braking Drift

The Z-curve or similar curve after the straightaway is very suitable for using brake drift (not that it is definitely faster to use brake drift to pass this kind of curve, but you need to balance the weight of grip and drift, the kart needs to pass the curve with a little drift, but not the kind of sideways as many people think). The so-called brake drift, is the use of when the heavy brake rear wheel grip break the limit after the loss of grip, so that the rear wheel in the state of side-slip continue to pass the corner. When the side slip happens, immediately reverse the direction to control the body attitude and keep in mind that the rear wheel grip can be restored at any moment by adjusting the brake pedal force (PS: Don't just think about how to reverse the direction and ignore the most important brake operation). When the head of the car has reached the ideal pointing position, make sure to return the rear wheels to the grip in time.

Inertial drifting

Braking to slow down when entering a corner, thus shifting the weight forward to the front wheel of the steering wheel while operating the steering. This is the basic method of cornering on the track, but when encountering low-speed corners one after another and the distance between them is very short, the latter few corners can hardly use the brakes from time to time, it is recommended to use inertial drift to rip off the whole group and the corner, and the rear wheels can easily enter the drift state for professional racing karts if they step on the accelerating state and hit the direction at the same time. Keep the throttle open after a side slip and reverse the direction to enter the drift. Keep in mind that the angle and duration of the drift are mainly controlled by the depth of the throttle, not the direction.

No matter what kind of drifting is done, it is not the steering wheel that is the most important control medium. In addition, after entering the drift state at any time do not da the reverse direction, the reverse angle is only in the drift into a moment is the largest, and then are slowly closing the process. It is meaningless to reverse the direction at a large angle at the top of the slope. If you can fully master the two drifting methods, then you are one step closer to the top one.
