I have been looking at some old videos of Formula Super A etc from around 1995 and have a question

Why do modern karts have a more raked back seat?
The sytle of the older karts is alot more upright. no angled steering boss.

Id find it really uncomfortable to sit so upright.

Its not a height thing as im sure most karts are still for 5'8" people like myself. :-)

P.S i do think a modern kart chassis looks alot more attractive than the karts from the mid 90's
