Camaro did OK

Itās wierd but I think Iāll be happy in karts for the rest of my days. Cars are neat but man, cornering a kart is just so incredible. If you think about it, on sprint tracks, we pull 2g every 4s or so. That is not possible in a car.

Thatās basically me for 20+ yearsā¦
If itās my money being spent, Iām sticking with karts. To get the equivalent driving and competition experience in a car is more $ than I can justify.
I race karts on sprint tracks because itās exciting and fast moving and challenging.
But that shifter on the big track looks fairly boring to me. Donāt take that the wrong way I know itās not boring but In a big track setting give me the car all day long because itās going to be a more challenging experience to slow the car from big speeds more difficulty to place it correctly and ultimately be more rewarding to driveā¦again in that setting.
For what itās worth Iāve been to Pitt Race in my 380hp 996 GT3 and I turned a lap 5 seconds faster than that shifter. Iād love to give that kart a go on the kart track they have at Pitt Race though.

That got me thinking and searching because that doesnāt seem rightā¦
1:51 looks like the fastest 125 shifter time from the last raceā¦ Generally though times were all over the place it looks like.
At itās best, road racing is pretty busy because youāll be in a group of racers, working the draft and trying different things over the course of a 25mins race.
I know where you are coming from. Before I ran a shifter on the big tracks I thought it wouldnāt be nearly as fun as the sprint tracks because it looks like you have so much time and are just cruisingā¦ First road race definitely changed my mind about that though. I honestly couldnāt pick which I enjoy more sprint v.s. road, but do know that they are two completely different animals.
Same I enjoy both. My body enjoys road racing more though, I will say that much.

Thatās not possible in a car, unless it has serious aero and is light. (So $$$$$$$$)
Honestly, Iād argue that that shifter driver isnāt really āthatā good, if heās only .3 faster than the Camaro around a big track, but the apex speeds still show the difference.
