Lean IN vs Lean OUT (Karting Experiment)
In today's video I compare my best lap with leaning in and my best lap with leaning out at an indoor track with electric go karts.

I just joined!
A full second gained on that short of a track is insane, definitely going to be using this technique next time I’m karting
this makes more sense. i usually lean in but ive felt so slow doing it that i stopped as of late. thank you for this much needed research
I love the 360° view😮. Looks amazing. Thanks for the experiment. The info is really helpful.
Wow! I had no idea! Seriously. Cant wait to try this next time I go karting. Just like your braking tutorial, I'm learning just how much my bad techniques have been holding me back from better lap times. 😅
as always, a great video! keep the good work 💪
Pretty cool. This is equivalent to loosening your anti roll bars, allowing the car to roll during the turn to load up the outside tires for more grip.
I tried it and can confirm that leaning out is beneficial even in heavy rental karts with a light driver (me).
My leaning technique?
Well, I've noticed that when I'm underperforming, it helps for me to lean forward in my chair, thus increasing body tension and focus, whilst simultaneously reducing the distance between my face and my monitor.
Hope this helps!
😂😂
Great video! Really good explanation of this phenomenon
Mate u make some of the best vids, u have helped me so much with these tips as i just started karting. ❤
Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback 🙌
So helpful! Thanks KTips
Super vidéo. But please keep some tips otherwise we couldn't make any gap anymore 😅
Very useful skill ,thanks
I love oversteer and i love it cause i can brake later and harder for corners have to turn the steering wheel less and requires less energy making it so i can drive longer.
At first it’s hard to get used to leaning outwards, at least that’s what i felt, but i quickly started gaining time and am now one of the fastest at the circuits i go to, definitely something everyone should do.
your videos are really good
This is probably the best advice I've heard.
Another great video
Mate could you try and find times leaning in would be useful?
Funny thing is I always naturally lean out when karting because it is so much easier to maintain endurance. Guess that’s why I’m faster as well!
but there is a state that leaning inside will increase understeer which helps the low grip in indoor track, and leaning outside will increase oversteer which is better for higher grip level in outdoor track, is that true?
Really it depends on the speed of the track and the type of turn you are on. Leaning in to the kart puts more force on the inside of a turn, letting you turn sharper
A ktips if i havent tried leaning out before priperly and i have a race coming up is it better to try it out untill i have a session that is just for practice or fastest lap only?
Try it out as soon as possible and get used to it by the time you have your race
Thanks a lot ! Isi it the same for outdoor karting ?
I would assume so since most all gokarts are solid axle no differential type stuff.
Yes, it's the same. Here's my outdoor experiment: ua-cam.com/video/J-3Qh5aGLxw/v-deo.html
And if you lean out you dont have to fight against g force also right? Anyone know?
I use also front lean, known also as a human DRS
Could you pls do one on an outdoor track
Great question! I already did it and you can watch it here:

Can you do a vid on trailbraking vs not trailbraking in rentals
Great idea! Let me look into it
Yah I never have lean in or out when racing at nascar I drive indoor cart racing ☕️🗿
Turning the steering wheel more in the lean-in isn't causing the kart to understeer.....you're having to turn in more with the steering BECAUSE the leaning in is causing (more) understeer.
The judder comes from the inside rear tyre going from gripping to not gripping and back to gripping again (repeatedly) which leaning in makes much more likely to occur.
