I was wondering what the best way to use your bodyweight while driving is? I have heard before that putting your weight forwards when braking ia good as it puts your weight over the front wheels and putting your weigh backwards while accelerating.

I was told last weekend that leaning towards the outside of the kart in a corner was beneficial as it put more weight over the outside wheel and would give you more grip.

Is it different for rental karts compRed to 'pro' karts such as Rotax, TKM etc? At the moment I drive renta karts.
