How you would honestly feel if PD included Karting in GT5?

[GT_Prologue5]

Will they have damage for karting?

Good question. It would be pretty easy to implement than the cars I suppose.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Yeah like the little bumper guards falling off of the karts.

 

[turbomp301]

Anyone ever go karting then drove their normal car home.
HOLY F#@##K is that scary.

It's like WTF my car is not turning!!!!!

I drive a sport trac and for me its like "Holy &^*!, I'm so high off the ground right now"

Engine Failure on the Nurburgring! Think about how much fun that would be!

 

[No46_TheDoctor]

Lewis Hamilton..

Ayrton Senna.............

Hopefully PD will do it right. While I loved the inclusion of snow driving in GT4, it was criminally under-done and had an insanely-high difficulty curve; Ice Arena was fairly straight-forward, but Chamonix was absolutely mental. It's like someone learned to drive on an oval and their next race was at the Nurburgring. So I hope PD include more than one or two circuits. And while I think it's awesome that we can tear around Siena, I'm also angling for an actual karting circuit or three.

 

[StockCarRacer]

I would feel GREAT about it, because it is SOOOOO much FUN!

So, lets speculate. I know Fuji has one. What other confirmed tracks have companion Kart tracks?

By the way here is a cool link. http://www.kartingasia.com/kart_tracks/fuji-speedway-kart-circuit-t185.html

That's Valencia circuit. Not confirmed but pretty likely. Look at the bottom right of the map. There is a karting circuit
http://maps.google.ie/maps?hl=en&tab=wl Suzuka.
http://maps.google.ie/maps?hl=en&tab=wlMotegi Most tracks have them but I want to go on the big tracks. Bring it down the Mulsanne to see it's top speed

 

[scope72]

Your maps aren't working.

However, to your point about taking karts on full tracks...

Let us hope that will be possible. Which surely it will.

By the way, here is a link to the track at Suzuka. http://www.kartingasia.com/kart_tracks/suzuka-kart-track-t32.html

What if it's like Mario Karts in HD? No I'm only joking I'm sure it wont be that bad. I just wish they made the on screen track map bigger instead of tiny. Can hardly see it.

The way the track appears on the screen is adjustable. But yes, it looked stupid.

Hahahaha ... just had to comment on this - don't forget the brakes too!

 

[CoolColJ]

You can zoom in/out the track map in the options. Turn rotation off/on etc,

 

[Heath_1]

Oh that's good how you can ajust it then. Would be like "hey Arthur, get me my spectacles I cannot see this silly little tiny map!"

Kart physics

Yamauchi comments that GT5 can now "recreate the dynamic movements specific to karts" and that there's a whole set of "peculiar racing geometries and suspensions" in addition to the movement of the driver himself, that all come to play when racing karts. It's such a weird little system that the team is hurriedly focused on tweaking and tuning this specific feature as we speak, but it's a welcome feature to me. Yamauchi is hoping that this special kart-racing mode will appeal to beginners, and as someone who has respected, but not necessarily enjoyed, Gran Turismo throughout the years, I might actually play this one. Because look at how realistic and physically modeled-and-sound that guy in a go-kart is!

Funny, I actually found Chamonix to be vastly easier and vastly more enjoyable to drive! I hate Ice Arena; it's nothing but tight turn after tight turn and because it's so short, I never really get into the "rhythm" when driving there.

 

[A2K78]

I could imagine the Go-Karts being used for early drivers license tests, a lot of race car drivers come from karting, such as Scott Pruett racing in the Rolex Series.
Personally though I will probably pass on them if I can help it.

Of course many pro-drivers have started/built thier careers in Karting....Valentino Rossi, Ayrton Senna, Jeff Gordon, Juan Pablo Montoya, Tony Stewart, Lewis Hamilton,Michael Schumacher, etc...

Anyhow the inclusion of Karts is great because I could almost see , SEGA Club Kart in this. For the record, despite being a arcade title Club Kart was a pure Kart sim

 

[witham]

Karting looks great fun and maybe just maybe my brother may be able to keep up with me in a go-kart

Agreed, Chamonix is one of the easiest rally courses in GT in my opinion. Excellent flow of corner combinations.

Like all circuits, its a matter of taste though. Ice Arena is ok if you're into stop-slide kind of driving. Not much high speed stuff. I hated Grand Canyon, though I never really practiced there enough.

Anyway, the karts look fantastic! I'm interested to find out if they are available for the "normal" circuits and not just kart-focused small circuits. Either way, looks great and adds an entirely new dimension to the game (along with the new race manager/b-spec stuff).

 

[Devedander]

Man the more I see and hear about the karting the more interesting it is getting for me...

I really hope they put a decent level of depth into it...

 

[Killinator]

Seen as how Circuit De La Sarthe(Le Mans) is in, I wonder will the Prost go-kart track be available,
Having raced on it I really,really hope its available

 

[Bogie 19th]

In my opinion, the addition of Karting is a waste. I would rather of had them add a bunch of F1 cars.

 

[FlareKR]

Isn't Cote de Azur a kart track too?

 

[analog]

Arcadey perhaps???

How is including Karting arcadey? You probably confuse most arcade kart games ( as a genre ) like Mario Karts and ModNationRacers, etc. with actual real life karts which if truthfully replicated is just as much simulation as the cars included in GT5....
