I have not been here for a while, just checked back to see if there had been any progress.
I went through quite a convoluted process to get a handbrake working for drifting.
I sourced an E30 handbrake on the cheap from ebay, ripped apart an old cheapo logitech wheel for the potentiometer & usb electronics then mounted it all on my desk in a pretty ghetto fashion using a few springs to retract the handbrake. It worked well but without a proper cockpit I had to mount the handbrake in a vertical drifty orientation between the wheel & gearstick on my desk. The main thing is fixing the pot to the base of the handbrake at its pivot point for a nice motion.
I cant get any pics atm because the racing desk has loads of junk piled up on it, I was hoping for some inspiration to fire up the old girl.

Lol, same here, LFS popped into my head for some reason & I thought I bet that patch is still not out.
You know what will happen, by the time this new tyre model comes out it will already be outdated due to there being no tyres or roads in the future & everyone either teleporting or using automated flying machines
I got black flagged as the brake fluid cap popped off & the number board flew off twice, all in the same stint. Looks like they changed the rubber band too

The #44 kart was good to me. 
I definatly think the engine being on the right helped a lot, even though the tracking was well buggered. Sitting in the pits before i started my final stint i had to turn the wheel to the right to get the wheels pointing straight & they still didnt look like they were both pointing in the same direction.
Was also hopping about all over the place on T1 & it was the only kart i drove that left tyre marks on my left knee. Got a nice scabby souvenir there now.
