Reverse-driving speed record - GIF

[Frank S]

By reversing the castor, increasing the anti-roll bar stiffness, and the suspension setting for slight toe in, increasing tire pressures adding double acting stiff steering dampeners and disconnecting the power steering are several things which will aid in driving higher speeds in reverse at the same time doing all of these will limit the responsiveness when need in driving normally. there is no best of both worlds. Except for maybe forklift which do equally well in forward or reverse since they have zero castor or toe in/out but can have lots of camber due to the kingpin inclination. The reason why forklift drivers should be properly trained before turning them loose on the forklift, is because a forklift can overturn going forward or in reverse equally easy. with radical steering movements. That huge, massive counterweight plays a large part in that.
