This paper explores influential factors in the optimization of go-kart performance through practical tweaks. Low center of gravity enhances stability, whereas forward seating adds front grip (but results in understeer) and rear seating improves cornering (with potential oversteer). Equal weight distribution over axles yields maximum tire contact and traction. Testing indicates that softer tires are better at gripping but have a shorter lifespan, whereas harder tires have a longer lifespan but offer less traction. Driver seating modification and suspension adjustments further enhance performance. Such alterations, together with real-time track data analysis, allow racers to achieve ideal balance between speed, handling, and consistency
