They are definitely controlling things now. There's a sort of "master control" booth where something is going down. My initial review of the "new and improved" Andretti karting experience is... CHANGE IT BACK!
For starters... there are 20 people out on track... which is way too many for a track of that size. Second... the carts are VERY governed. Hitting the front straight, you peg the limiter 1/3 the way down. It sucks. There's NO use trying to snag the correct line, because some IDIOT who isn't taking the right line come flying right into the corner and will nail you into the wall. There are maybe three solid places to pass... whereas the last setup I could pretty much pass anywhere. They don't really seem to enforce the blue/orange flag... uh - AT ALL.
I feel like the old setup was very condusive to developing skills... this new setup seems quite the opposite.
On the bright side... the carts are all new... the harnesses and seats actually hold you in place. The karts were definitely having some fuel starvation issues... or the remote governing was acting up. There were times when my foot was to the floor - and no throttle response what so ever.
It was real... it was fun... but it wasn't real fun. I may hit it up from time to time... but I'd rather race my real car anyday.
Bwaahahaha...BTW, don't try and tag the kart with a "drifting is not a crime" sticker... you'll get caught, lol.
i think they controll the karts from the booth
look at me, im bitching about gokarts hahaha
