I remember when I went to six flags I was able to link most of the corners. I had to floor in to the corners all the time, counter steer then straightened up. They were gas powered so they weren't as fast as these. It was hella fun . I overlapped everyone twice.

[@steventongate9016]

Great idea, but after driving gas-powered drift karts in Honolulu, this was incredibly underwhelming. If you try to carry too much speed and drift as you normally would, this is nothing but frustrating. The karts in Honolulu you could pin the throttle and really drift. And it was incredible. At K1 Sacramento, it took me 8 minutes to finally get the idea in my head that you MUST go about half speed or slower into the turns in order to not spin out. If you have ever driven on ice, its very similar, if not exactly, like that. Big, smooth, fat, plastic wheels in the back offers nearly zero grip. Even the K1 employee there had a hell of a time trying to get around the course.

[@rabidlorax1650]

It’s much easier to drift K1 karts when they don’t have those stupid plastic wheels on them. I have no idea why they have those drift covers, and why they are so hard and gripless.

[@saadtasleem962]

Amazing

[@Daydream2730Y]

To save ur time, in a normal go kart, unlike his, just go fast in a turn press break and do a sudden turn, then turn in the opposite direction to balance the vehicle

[@shanehester5317]

great video.

[@Beastssixthsense]

I am excited for drift night.

[@bekkerthesokuangeldragon68]

Recently i was doing a few races in a K1 Speed RACING big track (2 level long track), i was legit going fast and slow but i was going mostly fast and legit doing some awesome fast drifting and i did spin out like once when i angled alil to far / much on one of the corners but holly shit these monsters go FAST. But Holly shit these karts CAN DRIFT LIKE A BOSS! I did once do a 360. I didn't wear riding / racing gloves so my hands kinda started to hurt after alil while. I did buy a pair riding gloves that has strong comfortable grip and grabbing on the handle bars/ steering wheel thing so my hands and fingers Do not hurt while i grab and hold onto the steering wheel things.

[@bekkerthesokuangeldragon68]

I also wonder what it's like wearing a full race suit with the race gloves and full geared up on the K1 Speed racing gear. People will look at you probably if you walk in while all geared up lol.

[@cartertwowheels3358]

What you're showing here isn't power sliding, it's essentially engine breaking into a turn causing loss of traction in the rear. To start a power slide you come in fast then floor the gas just long enough to break traction, then quickly counter steer and get back on the gas just enough to hold the slide. Much the same as drifting, however power sliding is still racing and maintaining speed is key, so don't go for to much angle or you'll loose speed.

[@s71402san]

"How to drift?" Pitch it hard, break it loose, and just let it slide while playing with the throttle. If you push too hard, you'll spin out. And if you turn hard enough left, you'll have to turn right. "Turn right to go left".

You guys don’t allow people to drift at K1 I was drifting at the k1 in broward and they kept putting signs up saying not to drift.

[@The_Absurdistt]

The drift tires have completely ruined the grip at the track in Rohnert Park. They have embedded the plastic from th tire into the surface of the track and just ruined the track making it slick as an oil spill, especially for the GP racers. On top of that K1 corporate has increased prices, especially thebulk race packages. For instance, the 50 races for $675 is now $800+. It has basically turned away most of the regulars. The GP was running strong with over 30 racers everytime, but this week 4 showed up... yes, only 4 racers. I talked to a few via social media and heard the same complaints... unreasonable price hikes, and also no more grided finals... now they will only do rolling starts. Say goodbye to a big chunck of change Rohnert Park K1...... many of us are done with you.

You don't need the brake to drift. Especially in a power slide you want to keep the accelerator down.
