Surface Water ~75-80% (Or more:)

Event
Grip Reduction Real

Regulation
Car Restrictions Karts
Driver aids all but ABS

I don't think anybody thought of this so I made it. Let me know down in the comments if you want add an addition. Thanks and have fun
 
We've all thought of it, just none of us were crazy enough to try it, well at least I've never tried it:lol:
 
I made a wet track... took the cappuccino out there.. barely went anywhere lol
 
This thread should have been called "NEW vehicle for drifting" :-P
I've tried it... I've failed at it and I've given up at it.
Simples.
 
Not many people would have thought of drifting like in the OP because stuff all people use the kart to drift IMO. There is no give in the springs (there are none) and they spin extremely easy. Try London track and go over the curves ad see how frustrating it can get
 
Haha I have done it a few times, its pretty cool. You cant tune it so you have to be on your toes or else you spin out. My teammates and I were drifting them in the rain, it was pretty cool, ya'll should try it!
 
My teammates and I have tried it, and its very hard. There's Next to no steering in the wet and it willj just spin.
 
HAHA you can do it, I have complete faith in your drifting skills haha. Besides, your Irish too, we can do anything HAHA
 
I know, right! People think we're all alcoholics, but we're not. We can give it up any time! We just don't want to.

Haha and it takes alot more to get us drunk too, besides, its more fun drifting corners when you cant see straight period HAHA!! :lol:

you can drift in the rain, just takes a little practice and you have to notice every little movement in your cart so you dont spin out. Every true drifter can do it, you just need some practice. Its like learning a new drivetrain, you will discover better ways to drift.

It's not even the rain you need to worry about. It's the fact that the karts have no suspension and can't effectively transfer the weight of the vehicle backwards and forwards. The rain just makes it easier for it to go sideways.

All my drift cars have the hardest suspension so there isn't a difference, its just a little unpredictable rather than a drift car that you work with all the time. It doesn't change the fact its possible to drift the go cart.
 
You can't tune a kart because there is nothing to tune other than the gears.
