from my karting experiences, the point to fast lap time in a go kart racing is to keep the rev up, because its engine has very little torque, much of the speed relies on revving the engine high
so strangely, if you can do controlled skidding or drifting and keep the rev up, you will exit the corner much faster
even in car driving
keeping the perfect line without skidding is just part of the story
in fact in some rare cases, it is faster to drift even in the car than having all 4 wheels sticking to the ground, which is where drifting originally came from
so to go kart fast, brake less, rev up, if the road is in good condition it isnt difficult to drift a bit in corners
