    I sim race as well,... but my VR is down not sure what is causing the issue ... but its been a pita to figure out... but love it. I do I racing as well as Asetto Corsa - all on gaming computer... while Iracing is more sensitive to set up and realism of how the car reacts - Assetto just has all the cars I love - 1990 Ferrari 241... my go to, love all the different tracks.... and sounds!

    I did the Logitech mclaren challenge, I ended up 20th in North America, so this whole sim racing thing seems to be working out hahaha. I use a valve index and a fanatec wheel on NLR GT track. im upping my pedal resistance to mimic the brakes of the car i'll be driving in a month or so IRL. I play AC and ACC and a little F1. Can't wait for the new Indy game coming out.

    I've been a kart fanatic for over 20 years. Althogh I;m currently racing, I intend to return in a “master class” next year. A friend of mine raced together with Verstappen in 2012 and another friend owns one of the most famous kart chassis brands and racing team in Europe.

    The first thing I would recommend is to choose a "TAG" spec-series class for your age/weight that is popular in your area. The most popular spec series championships are the IAME, the RokCup, the RotaxMax, among a few others. If you are over 20, I recommend you to consider the X30 Master, it offers the feel (although not the same speed and competitiveness of the FIA OK class) of a professional go-kart with a easy to use clutch and starter motor.

    Try to avoid 4-stroke, they are very different from real racing karts, and also first learn and get a lot of experience in a direct-drive/rear brakes only, before considering a KZ (gearbox, front brakes).

    There is no other racing class that offers the thrills, adrenaline, and sensation of speed, apart from F1/F2/etc. GT, touring, etc., are super slow in comparison to proper racing karts.

    If yo have any specific question, let me know.
