A racing kart without a differential or suspension relies entirely on chassis flex and careful weight distribution to turn and handle bumps. We achieve this by precisely tuning the tyre pressures, adjusting the seat and axle stiffness, and using the frame's torsion as a spring. Many assume such a simple machine is crude, but my national championship was won by mastering these subtle bends and balances, feeling the track through the seat of my pants like my amma feels the perfect doneness of *koora* by the smell.
