Is This £20,000 Karting Simulator Worth it??

[@SabotageDesigns]

if you do karting irl please don't hold the wheel like that with your thumbs, your break them if you have a crash.

[@samthompson801]

fr i cringed when i saw his hand placement

[@einovahvanen]

But wouldn't it be worse to put your thumbs on the inside of the rim?

[@SabotageDesigns]

@@einovahvanen no because if you hit something like a tire wall your bend your thumbs back

[@einovahvanen]

@@SabotageDesigns ah okay

[@gejuntian]

Studies show that having your thumb straight and upright on the steering wheel is safer than tucking them around the wheel and gripping. Should an accident occur, this is to prevent from dislocating your thumb, causing meta-carpal-phalangeal (MCP), or worse case scenario, amputation.

i reckon this is pretty much the only simulator where the actual vehicle is cheaper than the simulator itselfs.

[@el_minge]

It literally is lol my kart is like 10k less than this

[@thomasberry8873]

@@el_minge 10 k for a kart jesus u can get a car fr that

[@IcedFireboy11]

@@thomasberry8873if you buy it used you can get them for around £4,000, fully new yeah they are around £10,000

[@YoioR]

maintainance costs on this one are way less I suppose. But yeah, you can find competitive karts for a 10th of the price. I suppose it is intended for professional kart racers

I went to PFI with KartSim a few weeks ago, they are genuinely lovely people! Looks epic mate, glad you had a fantastic time! comparison against real karts would be so cool too!

[@jrshgligh7833]

You know their rich when it costs more for the sim than real life

[@manticulating1154]

I was lucky enough to have a few sessions when I started karting and the coaching there is incredible, however that was before direct drive technology was available so it felt a bit clunky. Overall a great sim to learn on, especially for learning tracks

[@xavierzandbergen]

What game is this?

[@manticulating1154]

@@xavierzandbergenits called kartsim, which is a heavily modded version of rFactor2

[@luizamorimcosta]

Amazing! Giveaway to one of us :)

[@mattcopsey97]

I did one without the movement somewhere else and its so useful for learning tracks and great fun

[@adamcollingburn430]

I just wish there software wasn’t so expensive (£500) - I appreciate a lot of time and effort goes into it, but so did KartKraft and Kart Racing Pro and they’re still able to be sold at £30? I also tried KartSim’s DLC for rF2 and didn’t feel great at all. Looks like there own software/build is much better but ideally should be a demo with 1-tracks to test before parting with £500

G force in karting / KZ is literally more than F1. Piastri just re confirmed this last month.

[@huntriel984]

This might be fun if you have spare cash and kart race a lot. If you think about karting (don't know for sure) but I think you can buy and race a few laps for the same amount of money. I would go for the real thing before even considering this. Maybe fun for the Kart club to practice, but for me, if I'm ever buying an expencive sim like this. It is going to be one that races cars that I would never drive. But this is personal ofcourse.

[@JuanFlorezRacing]

20k is a whole budget for 1 year of club racing

[@adam_sanderson]

Go on then, what were your lap times?

[@maxversthappening8166]

Or you just you know…… buy a kart for over half the price 💀

[@Simcadepro]

top of the range motion sim, next level racing motion is entry level not the top of the range bud. come to the thanos club for top of the range

[@s0k4rting93]

I drive an x30

[@MattWii0]

How does a karting sim cost more than a go kart 😂

[@KerbYourEnthusiasm]

lol

[@Mr_U4E]

Its not cheap

[@tobjkx2493]

first

[@korayozan9563]

no

[@HDGamesWalkthrough]

£20,000 Karting Simulator with springs? Maybe it's beter to buy real kart beast for 7k Euro and go to real track? What's wrong with you people....Noone want your fake business on simulators

[@jamesbellracing2115]

It’s for the rich who drive in real life to test at home
