drive go-karts irl

I do, although due to the price i can’t afford to do it too often. But I try and go once every couple of weeks. Thing is with gokarting is that it is really a different skill from your standard racing car and its very different from F1.

Mario Kart Wii is the best esport

Honestly Mario Kart is obviously a joke but Super Smash Bros Melee is actually an amazing esport. Its even older than TF2 and still has a strong community. I love the F1 games but to play with out breaking assist or traction control on manual makes it very hard for new players to get into it. You don’t need an expensive wheel, even though i’m saving up for a Fanatec CSL Elite F1, you can still play fine with just a normal £100 thurstmaster wheel

For the ABS issues, a set of load-cell pedals will take you miles if you don’t have it to help you build the muscle memory. If not there are lots of mods for many of the cheaper potentiometer brakes to either increase the stiffness or install a loadcell. A slightly cheaty method is to short calibrate your brake so that full brake pressure on your pedal will only take you to about 60-80% brake pressure in game (depending on the type of cars you drive) so that it is almost impossible to lock up.
