It’s one of the most frustrating problems in karting. The kart feels nervous, inconsistent, lacking rear grip… and no matter what setup change you make, the problem keeps coming back.

In this episode of the Kart Class Podcast, 18-time Australian Champion David Sera breaks down the REAL reasons why karts slide — and why many drivers and parents often blame the wrong thing.

David explains two of the biggest driving mistakes that create sliding:

• Carrying too much entry speed into the corner
• Incorrect corner entry lines that overload the kart
  
  

These driving errors can dramatically reduce rear grip and make the kart feel unstable, even when the setup itself may actually be close.

From a kart setup perspective, David also discusses:

• Why tyre pressures must operate within the optimal window
• How incorrect pressures can instantly reduce grip
• How rear track width adjustments influence rear stability and kart balance
  
  

This episode is designed to help parents and drivers better understand the relationship between driving technique and kart setup — instead of randomly changing parts and chasing the wrong direction.
