I imagined it worked the other way round.
We recently got a kart for my son to drive and it has a lot of track adjustment available so I'm very keen to understand how this works and how the track/wheelbase relationship affects handling.

As the average Tw is increaced we could see a little more cornering power capacity which then should be gained from more rear grip. I do remember reading this also in a cart-setup site somwhere.
But I also have read the opposite theory elswhere. So there obviosly is different opinions here. If you have all the info about the car I could put the numbers in the formula to see what we end up with. Just mail it to me in private at

Put your son in the seat and axleweight the car. Measure Tw front - rear and wheelbase. We could estimate the cgh.
Sorry, the increased front Tw should be 1.7m in my previous message.
