    I think maybe you dont understand what i mean, I said: "Don´t expect official statement confirming this"
    When i said "confirm this". "this" was related to Andrianstelth. phrase: "are they dumbing down?"

    "They" or what ever simracing software will never say they are dumbing down some product of their own

    It's a top quality product. And kart is the racing machine closer than anyone who likes motorsports and is not billionaire. If you want to check out someday the real world physics vs simulation it's the way.

    Hi everyone. I have been searching and can not find a fix. There are others with this issue. Any information?

    @Tony Irfan
    in the last sector of the PFi track you can drive the shorter connection and the time is counted. So please closed the shorter connection.
    Thanks.

    HI. There is no subscription (?). I purchased it and it automatically installed.

    Anyway, the fix was to verify the installation and from there is downloaded the 256gb file again and it now works. Thanks for you input :)

    In steam inventory you have 5 new items, you can unsubscribe/subscribe from there and the file will download again.

    Don't ever EVER make the mistake of comparing rentals to race karts. Real life rentals are set up deliberately to produce terrible understeer. The rental karts from KartSim capture that quite well unless you know how to throw them around. But there aren't any tracks that simulate typical rental kart race surfaces, which makes it hard to compare. The KartSim race karts however do exactly what is to be expected from real race karts. If you violently throw them into a corner they will go sideways. If you use brakes they will also go sideways. If you smoothly steer into the corner however you are pretty much guaranteed to get understeer, which might not feel like understeer to a non-pro because of how much grip they have in general, but it can cost seconds per corner.

    Honestly, ISI karts do the same thing, but the tyre simulation is quite odd and combined wiht the chassis simulation results in terrible bouncing and snappy behaviour. But the ISI karts also captured this behaviour generally. It just wasn't as obvious.

    Really looking forward to try those when I get time, I am big karting fan. Does anyone know real life race format for X30 karts?
    * grid size
    * laps/time
    * start type
    * is it all weather
    * qualification

    Cheers!

    Yes I always thought the karts I rent understeer easily and it can be happening without it being obvious too

    Not sure how that's relevant to a question with a Boolean answer.

    Just curious. There is a pretty good Shifterkart package already available (Halfords Staff). I started in karts and 40 years later returned to karts with my son. Played with an ICA but it seemed a little anemic compared to the shifter. We also had an ICA twin direct drive for a while, now that was a blast, but only classed for road racing.
