How to Grip Drift

Hi all,

I do short sprint races in Dubai Kartdrome in the Sodi Kart RX7.

Indeed action movie type, that can be seen by an observer of drifint in SLOW. Period. I'm here asking on the race-drifting (grip drifting).

Driving on rails means also not going at full speed but on the other hand, When I induce some drift I notice the kart losses speed in the straight. Perhaps I was drifting too much.

I want to induce little drift because I want to hit the tyres "slip angle" where the best grip of the tyre is. But how can I tell once I have reached that?

Do you do any drift in a go-kart? or do you drive absolutely on the rails? If there is Zero drift then that means we are NOT using the optimum grip of the tyre.

Any comment, Advise? Im confused.
