CORNERING DIAGRAMS
Many of the problems and kart behaviours mentioned in this Guide refer to the kart ‘understeering’ or
‘oversteering’, and also to the different parts of a corner where the behaviour occurs. The diagrams
below graphically explain these terms and behaviours.

UNDERSTEER is when the front of the kart slides
more than the rear, making the kart ‘push’
straight ahead instead of turning.
OVERSTEER is when the rear of the kart slides
more than the front, requiring more steering
input to avoid the kart spinning out.
