    The steering still looks waaaaay too twitchy… I hope they’ll fix that in the final game model.

    Even though the video was a good addition to allow us to see what we’re getting. One it should have been a little longer and had a better driver at the wheel.

    I’ve worked events at Daytona during Kart Week and it looked like a LOT of fun in real life.

    That said, I’m not sold about it on a videogame…

    “100CC centrifugal clutch karts (20hp maximum) are really not meant for full-size car tracks” .. EXACTLY !! top speed wouldnt be more than 120 kph, as an ex karter (KALI CRG) IMO its simply stupid to bring (GT5) a kart to a ‘normal race circuit’

    Karts are for kart tracks !!!!! .. end of story, well almost; lets hope there are super karts and/or water cooled rotax engined models to choose from .. they would suit a normal circuit.

    The power to weight ratio of a 250cc super kart is mind-numbing ! (it would wipe a V8 touring car)

    Kart racing is the most pure form of motorsport and introducing a 100cc kart to Monza or a similar circuit is simply wrong !

    This might be a bit off-topic,
    but will Go-carts have premium damage?
    Just imagine a roll-over…
    If you can get to a high enough speed! LOL

    Karting without cartoon characters and powerups? What’s the point, seriously? I’m not sure who their target audience is with this little addition.

    Why would one think that, turning side to side, crashing deliberately into the barrier, and allowing for the entire pack of drivers to streak ahead into the distance leaving you dead last, would make for entertaining viewing?

    I hope PD includes slippery bananas, red homing turtle shells and, mushrooms that give you speed boosts. Oh and a yellow star that makes you glow different colors makes you invincible and makes you go faster.

    I really hope that they put in shifter karts. 100CC centrifugal clutch karts are really not meant for full-size car tracks. A Shifter Kart can usually go around a full-size car track faster than the street driven cars can. Now, if they put in Super Karts, that’d be even better.

      Exactly what I was thinking :/

    In the future, you will be required to be a card carrying Silver or gold license holder from the previous GT game before you are allowed behind the wheel of a pre release GT demo. Drivers like this make the game look bad IMO, lol. You show up to a demo session anywhere in the world, and bouncer-san cards you, and if your credentials prove unworthy, you are only allowed to watch, and not given the opportunity to embarrass yourself or the game all over the internet.

    Im happy that Karts arent limited to that tiny track with all the controversy. Karts at the Nurb are exactly what I was thinking too. Whats that lap going to be, nearly 30 minutes? lol

      Some people are actually unbelievably bad at driving, just look at YouTube “Yes, it’s a woman”, and watch her trying to change direction on a road (which takes about 12secs for other drivers in the vid) – video-length is 4:47 muhahaha

    I’m part of the staff and I have the NASCAR copy of Gran Turismo 5 and I can answer most of your questions. The press conference I was at released that they are rethinking of putting Indy Cars in the game. If you have any questions please ask me.

    at the beginning of the video when the camera guy zooms out, you can clearly see the VW van’s interior on the left screen :)

    Freaking play in the wheels is so annoying…
