Weight Transfer Dynamics
G Force, Down Force, Lateral Weight Transfer, and Total Transferred Weight are based on the Kart, Driver and the Track type. G Force is the amount of lateral force created by the turning action of the kart. Down force is the total amount of increase in downward force on the tires caused by track banking. Lateral Weight Transfer is the total amount of weight transfer between the left and right side on to the tires in the corner. Total Transferred Weight Percentage is the percentage of the total weight of the kart that is transferred between the left and right side of the kart in the turn. Now depending upon whether you have seat stays fitted or not the effect can be amplified.
When the weight transfers on a kart, it doesn't do so equally at the front and rear of the kart. The difference can be measured. The amount of weight transfer that occurs at the front of the kart compared to the rear of the kart is dependent upon the relative stiffness of the front and rear of the chassis which, includes whether or not seat stays are fitted.
This is what I am given to believe right or wrong.
