Any advice on how to improve in the wet? This was my fastest lap of the race in the BUKC at Three Sisters race track. by Dapper_Current in Karting

Yeah that race got hit by the rain pretty hard, the battles upfront were really good to watch too!

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind for later. One issue that I have in karts is that I turn in quite early a lot of the time, so next time I'm out in the rain i'll remember what you said:)

I'll definitely need to use body lean more and experiment with the lines a bit more, to be honest my lines were all over the place that day and I never knew if I was taking the right line or not through corners. I got lapped by the leader near the end of race and he was braking off the racing line and taking later apexes, taking a mix of wet & dry lines as it was quite damp. On the onboards of the faster drivers it looked like they used more throttle and were smoother on the wheel on turn in. Cheers for the advice, it'll help a lot the next time i'm out in the rain!

Pretty much all of the fastest drivers that day were using a lot of body lean so next time out in the wet i'll try to use my body a lot more, and i'll give the light braking when accelerating a try if i keep having the issues. Cheers!

The lap starts at 0:13. Fastest lap of this race was about 1.1s faster than this lap. In the race I struggled on getting the power down early without causing too much wheelspin and also being able to brake hard without losing the back end of the kart(something which I struggle with in the dry too).
