Looks promising

Just want to wait for a price drop and a shifter.

Are there karting courses in multiplayer? Like the ones in the special events? I looked for them but didn't see them when hosting a lobby.

You just set a limit that the only car you can use is a gokart.

Never paid attention, too focused on getting fast lap times than enjoying the scenery......

I'm so fed up with bspec.. What's a good strategy in picking a driver and coaching them up? I choose a guy with what I thought was a cool composure but he turned out to be a total pussy and he can't handle anything more than 300 hp right now. I try to level out the his composure and not overextend his driving abilities but it's effing infuriating when I push for the pass he chokes or wipes out.. the last race he wiped out and didn't move the car for a good 30 seconds. I wanted to retire his ass after that.

I just throw his ass in X2010 and enter it in any available event. Even he can't fuck up a 6 lap race when he's lapped the opposition 2 times.

I doubt he could control it.. especially with his level having a sport / comfort tire restriction..

Oh he can. He drives it just fine, even at Lvl. 0.

Just drains his strength after 6-7 laps.

I think the best advice would be to level up one guy only. Then when endurance races start. Just stick a level 0 guy in with an x2010. I think one of my guys is level 24 with 6 wins.

I'm talking about the courses, not just enabling karts. Do the special event karting tracks show up when I restrict to only karts or something?

What are the names of the karting courses?
