BODY POSITION While driving. Is it better to "Lean-in" or "Lean-out"

One of the many questions I get, is what to do with your body while driving. Is it better to lean in or lean out. But no one can give a clear reason as to either. Today, I took on that topic and gave my opinion as to how I think you should keep you body in the kart!

[@winniema4099]

I usually lean out to get the inside wheel to pick up since karts don't have a diff.

[@haydenjones1616]

I’m going to use this next session. Thank you very much for the great videos.

[@p.c.h.6721]

Leaning out makes a massive difference in my humble opinion, I've tried both, better grip, better lap times. 🤷‍♂️

[@EdKart78]

I lean out because it gives more load on the outside tires lifting the inside tires making it easier to turn

[@u982245]

me too, in rental karting its important to get the extra grip and making it turn better

[@lachlanjeffery88]

​@@u982245I don't think in rentals leaning is going to do a thing cuz they're so heavy and the chassis doesn't flex as much as race karts

[@u982245]

@@lachlanjeffery88 i did 500 stints in rental karts last year, belive me it works

[@julian4659]

@@lachlanjeffery88for sure makes a difference in rental karting, the things aren’t as powerfull so the little leaning already makes a difference. To most driving styles in rentals atleast

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

If I lean out I’ll flip with too much grip lol

[@stewyherring]

Keeping your eyes horizontal to the track surface will help with not leaning in or out too much too.
Great point about having a correctly fitted seat, it's very important.

Words of wisdom.

great adive, i have been waiting for you to do a video on this.

[@WOT122]

Thanks Ryan, I'm going to try this at new castle this weekend

[@CarlBorggaard]

Mark Kimber is the guy with most lean out.
Oakley Pryer is the guy with the most speciel body movement.
I myself use leaning inside and outside when there is low grip and stand still with high grip or perfect setup

[@TheSimRacingHub.]

I lean out on some corners, as I am taller than most it helps to rotate but if I lean to much I loose grip, so I only lean my head

[@alessandrotecchio940]

I have a race this weekend, let's see how this is gonna work out🔥

[@theoeide4106]

In Norway it is very much focus on leaning

[@alx_santos]

I race with rental karts. I tried to stay centered but, as rental karts very so much, some times I lean for the outside before the turn, so my weight is "already" in the "right" position during the turn. But is the minority of times.

[@kartaroundtheworld]

I'm very short and small, I don't even think I can move my body around when driving. There are some tall drivers that are very good on the wet moving their body around, but I don't think I could achieve that.

[@marcata2132]

And what about rental go-kart? Is it same or not?

[@tommynilsson2126]

Viktor gustafsson in kz have the most lean in.

[@CarlBorggaard]

Yeah i think he does that to stabilize the back inside a corner and to decrease the lift so he has longer time on 4 wheels

[@michaelvickers1202]

Look up the mass damper that Renault f1 developed and was banned.

[@Leo099]

I think you lean outwards so that the inside rear wheel lifts better.

[@federicofornara181]

Hi Ryan can you send me the link where I can buy your merch.? Like your cap 🧢? Please

[@GayMonkey-gv7fq]

Bro I lean in but don’t even realize I lean in how can I fix that it’s just a bad habit
