Hi everyone
Next week I have my first (and probably last) race of the year on Magescq and I am a light pilot, so I have to add 20kg to my KZ2 kart (178kg minimum weight)
I still have oversteering and my question is:
Do I have to add the weight in the back of the seat to make the kart heavier in the rear to have less oversteering or this will do the kart harder to drive because of the inertia of the rear part?
Thank you!

You should add all the weight on the back of the seat, so there's more weight on the back of your kart. Normally you get more rear grip and less oversteer. So I think it should be better then. But I don't know if it'll be harder to drive and how much. So you should try it, and find out what's the best.
You can also try to play with tyre pressure. Or reduce the front width. Try to ad seat struts.

Yes that worked with my kart. If it doesn't work you can always get them off.
