When the taller drivers get their heads down you can see the kart surge forward and increase pace, especially at circuits such as Three Sisters and Shenington.

Wind resistance is a huge factor in karting, that is why the smaller drivers have an advantage.

Out of interest, is it better to go faster with more power and wind resistance or slower with less power and wind resistance... ie would a tall driver be better suited to say KGP, Rotax or TKM for example?
