I’ll start off with a few I found in a post I made a while ago. These can be expanded into several as well I think.

  1. It’s a way for top “professional” drivers to stay sharp and or hone their skills.
  2. It’s a way to play and tinker with motors and chassis.
  3. It’s a great way to spend time with your kids forming invaluable memories
  4. You’ll develop valuable new skills.
  5. Karting is one of the most immersive ways to challenge yourself mentally and physically

  4. Opportunity for employment, as a team mechanic or for a kart company
  5. Medium for materials development and other experimental technologies (concept could be applied on smaller scale before being moved to automotive/ larger motorsport applications)
  6. Improves your regular driving (input control, timing & coordination, reaction time, hand eye coordination, spatial awareness)
