You cant drive until you Kart

Those in the know will say time and time again that there is no better undiluted driving experience than karting. I refer to proper Karting, not those lawnmower powered rental Karts but instead highly engineered and highly specialized racing Karts.

Most F1 drivers started their racing careers Karting and most succesful drivers are familiar with Karting. F1 drivers and various racing drivers alike train in Karts. This is an image of Casey Stoners Kart. He says it assists him in furthering his reflexes and building racing strength and stamina.

If you have an opportunity to go out in a proper racing kart on a proper circuit it is highly recommended. It is an awesome experience and will teach you more about driving, and driving fast then you ever thought you knew.

Ask me, I did some karting in my earlier years and I don’t intend on boasting here but F#c& I am a good driver. Ive controlled spins, countered wild oversteer and prevented countless accidents I otherwise would have expereinced due to my youth. But Karting saved me *touch wood*. Why? BECAUSE YOU LEARN PROPER CAR CONTROL.

Some of the racing drivers who rely on Karting to polish their skill include:

Valentino Rossi, Michael Schumacer, Sebastian Vettel, Nico Rosburg, Casey Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo, Ken Block, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Felipe Massa, Nicky Hayden,  Kimi Räikkönen, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton and many more.

Moral of the story, if you want mad driving skills, there’s nothing else to do but Kart!
