Gearbox: short, for low speed
Everything happens at low speed, so the ratios are short and the engine stays in its power band between hairpins. Top speed is almost irrelevant here.
Suspension: soft anti-roll bars to pivot
Soft anti-roll bars let the car change direction and transfer weight quickly, which helps it rotate. The springs and dampers stay controlled so the body does not flop between transitions.
Differential: enough lock to rotate and recover
The lock is sized so the car can rotate under power and recover without snapping. It follows the same logic as other disciplines, computed from torque, grip and weight transfer.
Alignment and brakes
A large steering angle and high Ackermann let the front wheels turn sharply at low speed, and the brake bias goes rearward so the car rotates under braking and with the handbrake.
Practical tips
-
01
Max out the steering angle your part allows.
-
02
Practise the handbrake entry before changing the differential.
-
03
Short gears: keep the engine awake between hairpins.
FAQ
What makes gymkhana different from drift?
Gymkhana is slow and technical with sharp pivots, drift is about sustained angle. Gymkhana uses soft bars and a rearward brake bias, drift uses a locked differential and 100% front braking.
Why a rearward brake bias?
It helps the rear step out when you brake and use the handbrake, which makes the car pivot.
